[Hiring] Fraud Analyst @Prolific

Role Description

We are looking for a high-ownership Fraud Analyst to step into a pivotal role within Prolific’s world class Integrity Team. This isn't just a support role; you are the "Human-in-the-Loop" who bridges the gap between our complex fraud models and the real-world experience of our researchers and participants.

You’ll be the source of truth for our "golden sets," the expert voice in our Slack channels, and the person who turns manual investigations into product improvements. We need someone who is data-curious, possesses an investigator’s mindset, and is ready to take accountability for the quality of our participant pool.

Qualifications

• Extreme Ownership: You’re the type of person who sees a "huge hole" and immediately starts filling it.
• The "Investigator" Mindset: You enjoy the "whodunnit" aspect of fraud.
• Aspiring Data Literacy: You should have a hunger to become data-literate.
• Practical Communication: You can explain complex technical issues clearly.
• Adaptability: You’re excited by a role that evolves and offers room to grow.
• Systems Thinking: You understand the marketplace as an ecosystem.
• A "Trust but Verify" Mentality: You rely on hard data before closing a case.

Requirements

• Familiarity with AI training data workflows, labeling platforms, or crowdsourcing tools is a strong advantage.

What you’ll be doing in the role

• Crossfunctional Problem Solving: Work with Data Science, Product, Engineering, Support, and Human Data teams.
• Deep-Dive Investigations: Review data quality reports and validate fraud claims.
• Second-Line Expert Support: Act as the escalation point for the Support team.
• Sonar Audits & Prevalence Tracking: Lead regular audits of the participant network.
• Model Training & Feedback Loops: Partner closely with Data Science to review flagged participants.
• Operational Innovation: Look for ways to automate tasks and suggest product features.
• Policy Design & Refinement: Write and refine internal policies and procedures.
• Balancing Friction vs. Growth: Advise on potential fraud loopholes during new feature launches.

Benefits

• Competitive salary.
• Remote working opportunities.
• Impactful, mission-driven culture.
