About the Role 

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 

Business Outreach & Onboarding 

  • 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. 

Training & Quality 

  • 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. 

Tracking & Reporting 

  • 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.
