Senior Data Analyst - Supply

Prolific

Prolific is not just another player in the AI space—we are the architects of the human data infrastructure that's reshaping the landscape of AI development. In a world where foundational AI technologies are increasingly commoditized, it's the quality and diversity of human-generated data that truly differentiates products and models.

The role

As Prolific scales, maintaining a healthy and sustainable participant marketplace will be critical to our ability to meet growing demand for high-quality human data. We are looking for a Senior Data Analyst who can independently drive strategic marketplace analytics and act as an end-to-end partner across product, operations, and leadership.

What you’ll bring to the role

• Senior Analytics Expertise: Advanced SQL and strong Python proficiency (e.g. pandas, experimentation analysis, automation), with a proven track record of architecting scalable reporting frameworks and data marts in modern BI tools (Metabase, Looker, Tableau, Hex). Demonstrated capability to independently own ambiguous problems end-to-end — from complex raw data to executive-ready strategic insights.
• Lifecycle Analytics: Experience analysing user acquisition, onboarding, activation, engagement, retention, churn, and behavioural cohorts.
• Experimentation & Statistics: Experience designing and analysing A/B or operational experiments, with solid grounding in statistical concepts and causal thinking.
• Product Thinking: Ability to translate participant and marketplace challenges into measurable hypotheses, success metrics, and actionable recommendations.
• Commercial Acumen: Strong ability to connect operational metrics to revenue, margin, and financial performance — understanding not just what is happening, but why it matters commercially.
• Strategic Autonomy & Ownership: Exceptional ability to operate with high autonomy in a dynamic environment, independently setting priorities, challenging assumptions, framing complex problems, and driving strategic initiatives from initial hypothesis through execution.
• Executive Leadership & Stakeholder Management: Proven track record of influencing senior leadership and cross-functional partners across Product, Operations, Commercial, and Finance functions, telling compelling data-driven stories that shape strategy.
• Marketplace Understanding: Strong grasp of B2B and two-sided marketplace metrics and economics.
• Clear Communication: Ability to translate complex analysis into concise, decision-ready insights that shape strategy and execution.

What you’ll be doing

• Autonomously own analytics across the full participant lifecycle—from acquisition and onboarding through activation, engagement, quality, retention, and reactivation
• Define and build strategic metrics, executive-facing dashboards, and robust experimentation frameworks that reveal participant behaviour and optimize marketplace dynamics
• Work closely with Product, Operations, Growth, Data Science, and Executive Leadership to identify growth drivers, structure complex experiments, and translate intricate marketplace data into high-impact strategic decisions
• Work hands-on across SQL, Python, experimentation, and senior stakeholder leadership to drive alignment around participant health, marketplace liquidity, unit economics, and long-term supply sustainability
