In short

Lead Product Designer role at Prolific, a company building human data infrastructure for AI development, working remotely and fully. The role involves solving customer problems for research participants and internal tools, line-managing 1-3 designers, mentoring others, and co-owning accessibility and the Design System. It requires an extensive in-house (non-agency) product design background, line-management or player/coach experience, and comfort with AI prototyping tools like Figma Make.
