[Hiring] Executive Assistant @Prolific Academic

Role Description

We’re looking for Executive Assistants to join our Expert Network to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models using their administrative expertise. If you have the necessary experience, we’ll send you a quick 10- to 15-minute test to assess your skills and suitability for AI tasks. If successful, you’ll be invited to join Prolific as a participant, where you’ll get paid to train and evaluate powerful AI models.

Researchers looking for your skills tend to pay up to $20 per hour. You must be prepared to complete paid tasks that require one hour of uninterrupted work, though many are shorter. Joining our talent pool for this project also opens the door to similar paid projects in the future.

Everything is fully remote and ad hoc, on a freelance basis, with full control over which projects you accept. Payments are made via PayPal.

Tasks

• Writing detailed outlines of your workflows.
• You will be asked to write about one of the tasks you perform regularly, in as much detail as you can.
• Ideal tasks to write about for this project take between a few days to a few months, are critical to your job, and are performed at least once a week.
• Stick to one task per outline. This is about real depth on a single process, not a tour of your whole role.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional experience as an Executive Assistant, Partner, or similar.
• Exceptional written communication skills.
• Analytical Thinking, the ability to translate complex workflows into structured evaluation tasks and provide clear, nuanced feedback.
• Strong attention to detail.

Benefits
