Description
- Product Managers at Perplexity work closely with design and engineering, focusing on the product systems and experiences that help more people discover, adopt, and get lasting value from Perplexity
- Own the SMB design partner program end to end: the program where real operators run their business on Computer so we can build and test our agents against real workflows and prove Computer moves revenue metrics for SMBs
- Recruit and onboard design partners: define the partner profile, set up connectors and project context, and design the metrics each engagement should move
- Build and iterate on Computer’s first-party skill packs until the output clears the bar an operator would otherwise pay an agency for
- Turn partner feedback into a prioritized roadmap of skill, connector, and capability improvements; write the specs and drive them with the connectors and capabilities teams
- Drive case studies end to end with partnerships, product, and growth marketing: run the engagement, measure results honestly, and package them for paid, organic, and partner channels
- Drive usage expansion for our existing base of SMB operators by driving adoption for relevant capabilities through onboarding, lifecycle and in-product recommendations
- The ideal candidate should have strong communication and writing skills, the ability to envision innovative technology, and a willingness to reimagine work to be more efficient and creative
- Ideal candidates combine product intuition with analytical rigor: in the application, please highlight the growth problems, experiments, or loops you are most proud of building
- 2 years in investment banking, strategy consulting, or a comparable high-intensity analytical role, followed by some operating experience
- 2–4 years of total work experience with a strong academic record
- You’ve run, or worked closely alongside, real marketing workflows: paid social, lifecycle, CRO, or SEO. You know what “great” looks like to an operator
- Strong written and verbal communication; comfortable running a working relationship with a founder or head of marketing
- You already use agents to do real work and are comfortable writing prompts, skills, and building end-to-end automation systems
- Comfortable with SQL. You can pull your own cohorts, validate your own segments, and read a dashboard without waiting on a data analyst
- Operates at high velocity. You ship daily, iterate weekly, and thrive in fast-paced, early-stage environments where processes are still being defined
- Founder or early employee at a DTC or e-commerce brand, a performance marketing agency, or a marketing technology company
- Direct experience with Shopify, Klaviyo, Meta Ads Manager, TikTok Ads, or similar operator tools
- Experience in a forward-deployed, solutions, or customer-facing product role
