Operations and PMO Leaders - Subject Matter Expert About Prolific

Over 35,000 AI developers, researchers, and organizations use Prolific to gather data from paid study participants with a wide variety of experiences, knowledge, and skills.

The role

We're looking for Operation s and PMO leaders with hands-on experience in operations, project governance, portfolio management, and operational planning to join our Expert Network as subject matter experts. If you have the necessary experience, we'll send you a quick 10- to 15-minute test to assess your skills and suitability for our research tasks. If successful, you'll be invited to join Prolific as a participant, where you'll get paid to share your expertise with researchers and organisations who need real-world planning and operations insight.

Researchers looking for your skills tend to pay up to $200 per hour . You must be prepared to complete paid tasks that require one hour of uninterrupted work, though many are shorter.

What you'll bring
  • Professional Experience: Director-level or above experience in an Operations or PMO function across sectors such as Manufacturing, Healthcare, Retail, Technology, Professional Services, Financial Services, Utilities, or Government.
  • Domain Knowledge: deep background in one or more areas such as project governance, resource planning, portfolio management, capacity planning, or operational strategy.
  • Planning Tool Experience: current or recent hands-on use of a planning or PPM platform such as Microsoft Project, Planview, Smartsheet, Jira, or ServiceNow.
  • Analytical Thinking: the ability to draw on complex planning workflows and portfolio experience to answer research questions and provide clear, nuanced expert insight.
  • Communication: exceptional written communication skills and a high level of attention to detail when responding to questions on project governance, operational planning, or portfolio management topics.
  • A PayPal account to receive payment from our clients
What you'll be doing in the role
  • Answering Research Questions : share your expert perspective on topics such as project prioritisation, resource allocation, portfolio governance, and operational planning processes.
  • Scenario Review: apply your real-world experience to assess and respond to planning and PMO scenarios, such as programme governance cycles, capacity reviews, milestone escalations, and budget forecasting workflows.
  • Surveys & Interviews: participate in structured surveys or interviews where your domain expertise informs research into planning practices and PMO operations.
  • Product & Process Feedback: provide informed feedback on tools, workflows, and processes related to planning and portfolio management platforms in operations and PMO contexts.
  • Framework Input: contribute subject matter expertise to help research teams better understand how Operations and PMO functions use and evaluate planning tools and governance frameworks.
