Respondent is building the infrastructure that powers participant recruiting for the research industry. Our mission is simple but ambitious: to make it effortless for researchers to find and engage high-quality participants - whether they’re testing a product, exploring a market, or validating an idea.

From our founder’s first recruits on a NYC subway to a global panel of 3 million participants across 150+ countries, we now support research for companies like Microsoft, Dropbox, and P&G. Our panel is one of the most diverse and responsive in the industry.

As the research world shifts rapidly - especially with the rise of AI-led tools - demand for high-quality, large-scale participant data is growing fast. Respondent is well-positioned to meet that demand, helping companies run better, faster research at scale. We’re a lean, growing team of ~30 people across Sydney, Manila, and the U.S. We’ve recently hit profitability and are reinvesting in the business to help us scale.

• This is a night shift role aligned with U.S. West Coast (Pacific Time) hours, to primarily support U.S-based clients.
• The position follows a hybrid work setup with 2 days per week required in our Manila office in BGC.
• Our Manila team includes members on both night shifts (U.S. hours) and day shifts (Australian hours).
• We offer healthcare reimbursement, all U.S. federal public holidays off, as well as 4 weeks of annual leave.
