About this role

Perplexity is scaling at a pace few companies ever experience, and talent is the surface where our biggest bets get won or lost. We're hiring a Program Manager to sit at the center of that motion, owning the mission-critical, cross-functional programs that shape how we plan, prioritize, and hire.

This is a uniquely visible seat, reserved for operators who thrive in ambiguity and have a track record of driving companywide initiatives to measurable outcomes. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with recruiting leadership, executives, and cross-functional partners to architect the systems, operating rhythms, and decision-making frameworks that let the company move faster and with more clarity. When a complex, high-stakes program needs an owner, you're the person leadership turns to.

What You'll Do

Own Perplexity's most consequential talent programs end-to-end, from ambiguous mandate to shipped outcome

Partner directly with executives and recruiting leadership to turn strategy into programs with clear owners, milestones, and accountability

Drive cross-functional initiatives across Recruiting, People, Finance, and business leadership, aligning stakeholders and clearing blockers before they escalate

Design the operating cadence of the org: planning cycles, prioritization, reporting rhythms, and executive updates that keep leadership decisive

Build the systems, tooling, and workflows that let recruiting scale, automating the repetitive so human judgment goes to the highest-leverage work

Stand up the metrics and dashboards that turn hiring data into faster, sharper decisions

Anticipate risk on the highest-visibility programs, communicate crisply under pressure, and drive to resolution when priorities shift

Set the bar for program excellence and codify repeatable playbooks the rest of the company can adopt
