Field Operations Specialist

Appen is looking for motivated, people-oriented Field Operations Specialists to support a time-sensitive AI data collection program. In this role, you will operate as an on-the-ground representative for Appen, signing up commercial businesses to paid AI data programs, and guiding them through onboarding and setup. This is a hands-on, field-based role that combines sales skills, relationship management, training, and reporting.

What You'll Do

• Canvas assigned commercial areas, visiting businesses across hospitality, retail, manufacturing, cleaning, construction, and other workplace settings.
• Pitch the opportunity to business owners and managers, explaining the program clearly and answering questions.
• Sign up business to the paid AI data program and acquire consent and coordinate employer approval for on-site filming.
• Distribute required equipment (head-mounted camera straps) and ensure businesses have everything needed to participate.
• Train business participants on filming requirements, including camera setup, approved task types, technical specifications, and upload procedures.
• Review initial test clips with participants to confirm compliance before they begin full sessions.
• Provide ongoing guidance and troubleshooting support to active participants.
• Ensure all participants understand and comply with privacy, consent, and safety guidelines.
• Maintain accurate daily logs of businesses visited, outcomes (onboarded, declined, follow-up needed), and feedback received from declines.
• Submit daily reports to the Appen project team covering outreach volume, conversion rates, and a rolling forecast of expected active participants.
• Flag issues, blockers, or patterns proactively so the project team can respond quickly.
• Use Appen-provided tracking tools and templates to ensure consistent, reliable reporting.

Required Qualifications

• 1+ year of experience in field sales, door-to-door canvassing, business development, or a related outreach role.
• Demonstrated ability to pitch and persuade in face-to-face settings; comfortable approaching businesses cold.
• Reliable transportation or ability to cover an assigned urban territory on foot or by public transit.
• Strong verbal communication skills; able to explain technical concepts simply and clearly.
• Organized and self-directed; able to manage your own daily schedule and hit outreach targets without close supervision.
• Comfortable with basic digital tools for logging, reporting, and communication (smartphone required).
• Ability to work independently in a field-based role with limited in-person management presence.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in a gig economy, field operations, community outreach, or ambassador/brand rep role.
• Prior experience training or onboarding non-technical users to a new process or tool.
• Bilingual or multilingual; comfort communicating in languages common to the assigned city is a strong plus (specific language preferences will vary by location).
• Familiarity with AI, data collection, or technology programs; able to speak credibly about how the data will be used.
• Experience using CRM tools, Google Sheets, or similar tools for tracking and reporting.
• Comfort working across diverse business environments including warehouses, kitchens, retail floors, and construction sites.
• Strong local knowledge of the assigned city and its commercial districts.

Working Conditions

• This is a field-based role; the majority of working hours are spent outside visiting businesses.
• Must be comfortable working in varied commercial environments including warehouses, kitchens, retail settings, and outdoor worksites.
• Part-time hours; specific schedule will be confirmed at hire based on project needs.
• Reports to the Appen project team. Day-to-day direction provided remotely.
• This is a part-time, fixed-term W-2 position. Duration is approximately 6 months, subject to project needs. Compensation is $20/hr.
