Today, tens of thousands of researchers from enterprises and top universities across the globe rely on Prolific to power their work, from peer-reviewed studies to the next generation of technological breakthroughs.   Prolific's partnership ecosystem is a key growth engine for Prolific. The next generation of AI-powered research platforms are growing rapidly disrupting the market, and the foundation of their success is the authentic, rich human data that only Prolific can provide. To help us drive this next phase of growth, we are looking for a commercially driven partnerships professional with 5-7+ years of experience building and growing revenue-generating partnerships within research or industry. Success will be measured against the team revenue target, so close collaboration with Partner Success and Partner Sales Managers based in the UK will be critical. We want the successful candidate to help shape our partner strategy and direction and lead commercial conversations with our largest strategic partner opportunities, so knowledge and demonstrable experience of working with platform partners in the market research, UX/product testing, or user research space is a huge plus. This will be our first US partner hire, and the role will report directly to the Head of Sales and Partnerships at Prolific for Research.

You will be the partnership face of Prolific for Research in the US, engaging at founder and executive level, maximizing our share of spend across existing partners, and identifying and working with partner sales to close the next generation of research platform partners. Success in the role is measured by performance against the global team revenue target, covering both existing and new logo partners. This is a fabulous opportunity to make a huge impact within a well-funded and very well-respected scale-up, driving growth in a key focus market for Prolific. We want you to have a voice, help shape our partnership strategy, and directly contribute to the success of the sales and partnerships team.   What you'll be doing Drive Revenue Growth Across the Partner Ecosystem Own and deliver the partner team revenue target, covering growth across existing partners and new partner acquisition. In collaboration with partner success and partner sales, increase revenue and usage across the existing partner base by identifying expansion opportunities, deepening platform adoption, and maximizing Prolific’s share of
