About Prolific
At Prolific, our marketplace is rooted in academia, and that commitment runs deep. Alongside our work to accelerate the future of AI, we’re continuing to redefine how the world conducts academic research. What started as a research-driven idea has evolved into the world’s most trusted infrastructure for human data. Tens of thousands of researchers from top universities across the globe rely on Prolific to power their work, from peer‑reviewed studies to new technological breakthroughs. We’re doubling down on our mission to serve the academic community, deepening relationships, building smarter tools, and making high‑quality human data more accessible than ever.
The Role We are looking for a Field Marketing Manager to build and activate Prolific's presence within the academic research community. This role sits at the intersection of marketing strategy and deep academic credibility — you'll own how Prolific shows up across universities, research labs, and academic conferences, driving awareness and pipeline within our most strategically important segment. You'll work closely with our GTM Research Team to ensure every campaign, piece of content, and event resonates authentically with academic audiences, helping position Prolific as the trusted partner for researchers worldwide.
What you’ll be doing in the role
Develop and execute a field marketing strategy targeting universities, research labs, and academic conferences
Partner closely with the GTM Research Team to ensure campaigns are credible, relevant, and resonate with academic audiences
Own academic event sponsorships, speaking submissions, and conference presence — from strategy through to on‑the‑ground execution
Build and grow a community of academic advocates and research champions, fostering peer‑to‑peer connections, facilitating knowledge sharing, and creating online and offline spaces where researchers engage meaningfully with Prolific
Build, nurture relationships and marketing programs with academic associations, ethics boards, and research networks to strengthen Prolific's standing in the community
Drive academic pipeline in close coordination with named academic accounts, working across GTM to connect marketing activity to revenue outcomes
Manage academic‑specific content including whitepapers, research reports, and webinars that genuinely serve researcher needs
Track and report on academic segment metrics including reach, engagement, and pipeline influence, ensuring marketing investment translates into measurable impact
What you’ll bring to the role
Proven experience in field marketing, academic marketing, or a closely related B2B marketing role
Track record of developing and executing marketing programmes that drive pipeline, not just awareness
Experience owning event strategy and conference presence, including sponsorships and speaking programmes
Experience working alongside a sales or account management team
Strong cross‑functional collaborator — comfortable working with sales, GTM, content, and research stakeholders
Data‑driven mindset with the ability to define, track, and optimise against meaningful metrics
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to adapt tone and content for sophisticated academic audiences
Why Prolific is a great place to work We've built a unique platform that connects researchers and companies with a global pool of participants, enabling the collection of high‑quality, ethically sourced human behavioural data and feedback.
