Job Description
Strategic Customer Success Manager
Prolific
Prolific is not just another player in the AI space — we are the architects of the human data infrastructure that is 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. Our Sales and Success team works with a broad range of enterprises and emerging AI labs to power their most critical data and model development initiatives.
The role
As an Enterprise Customer Success Manager, you will partner with a diverse book of enterprise customers — from large organizations building their own ML pipelines and AI agents to smaller AI labs scaling their research programs — ensuring they achieve meaningful, lasting value through our human data offerings. In this role, you will drive adoption, consumption, and expansion through a land-and-expand motion, acting as a trusted advisor across research, program management, and business stakeholders. You will own the end-to-end success lifecycle, guiding customers from onboarding to maturity, expansion, renewal, and advocacy while collaborating with your counterparts on Prolific’s Services, Support, Sales, Solutions Engineering, Product, Marketing, and other teams.
What you’ll bring to the role
- 4+ years in a customer-facing enterprise customer success (and/or leadership) role, ideally in a business where value is aligned with increased consumption
- Experience developing success plans and coordinating cross-functional resources to drive positive outcomes with customers
- Operational rigor and experience managing a larger book of business — tracking health signals, forecasting consumption, and identifying expansion opportunities at scale
- Demonstrated success navigating mid-to-large organizations, driving adoption and expansion, and building strong stakeholder relationships
- Strong business acumen with the ability to interface with technical and business stakeholders (engineers, data scientists, ML leads, and program owners)
- Fundamental understanding of AI, machine learning, LLMs, or agent frameworks — enough to speak credibly about enterprise use cases and value levers
- A collaborative, growth-oriented mindset and desire to contribute ideas, best practices, and energy to an innovative, fast-moving team
What you’ll be doing in the role
- Managing a portfolio of enterprise accounts across companies building internal ML/AI capabilities and smaller AI labs, driving value realization and consumption growth
- Executing a land-and-expand motion — partnering with Sales to identify expansion opportunities within accounts and growing Prolific’s footprint over time
- Serving as a trusted advisor—translating customer objectives into actionable strategies leveraging Prolific’s platform and services
- Leading business reviews and stakeholder engagements, building strong relationships that support renewal and advocacy
- Contributing to the continuous improvement of success playbooks, processes, and customer-facing resources tailored to enterprise and mid-market workflows
- Spending time face-to-face with customers and peers in the San Francisco office—collaborating, learning, and growing together in service of shared outcomes
