We’ve scaled beyond the millions of people using Perplexity every day for research, shopping, investing and curiosity into a new paradigm of using AI to transform knowledge into action.\nProduct 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. 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.\nWhat you’ll do\nWork with select SMB customers to build and test frontier agent capabilities that run their revenue-generating workflows.\n\nPrioritize the highest-value workflows to automate and build the skills, evals, and agent systems that make them reliable and performant.\n\nTurn customer learnings into product requirements for connectors, skills, and agent capabilities, and partner with cross-functional product teams to build.\n\nDrive SMB acquisition through personalized demos, case studies, and paid and lifecycle channels, measured on acquisition targets and CAC.\n\nDrive usage expansion across our existing SMB base through personalized onboarding, lifecycle, and product growth levers.\n\nWork with partnerships and growth marketing teams to design, execute, and package customer case studies to distribute across paid, organic, and partner channels.\n\nQualifications \n\n2-4 years of total work experience with a strong academic record.\n\n2 years in investment banking, strategy consulting, or a comparable high-intensity analytical role, followed by some operating experience.\n\nYou've run, or worked closely alongside, real marketing workflows: paid social, lifecycle, CRO, or SEO. You know what \"great\" looks like to an operator.\n\nYou already use agents to automate complex processes and are comfortable writing prompts, skills, and building end-to-end agent systems.\n\nStrong written and verbal communication; comfortable running a working relationship with customers.\n\nComfortable with SQL. You can pull your own cohorts, validate your own segments, and build your own dashboard & reporting systems.\n\nOperates at high velocity. You ship daily and thrive in fast-paced, early-stage environments where processes are still being defined. \n\nNice to have\nDirect experience with Shopify, Klaviyo, Meta Ads Manager, TikTok Ads, or similar operator tools.\n\nExperience in a forward-deployed, solutions, or customer-facing product role.\n\nOur Mission\nPerplexity's mission is to power curiosity. Curious people are the people who drive change in the world. Driving change is a continuous cycle of learning, building, and integrating.\nLearn: curious people constantly learn new things by asking more. They question the status quo in their own expertise and they constantly learn outside of it. Research is essential to them and never ending.\nBuild: curious people make and create things, to show the world their new answers to problems no one else ever questioned. They take action on what they've learned. Makers need tools to create their products, their companies, their reality.\nIntegrate: they must interact with the world as it is to drive change and adoption. True leaders do not simply build something and hope. They must have armies of agents and workers who can constantly work in millions of small ways.\nRepeat. For curious people this is a cycle that never ends.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3705,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["LLM & Generative AI","Search Engines","Foundation Models","AI Search"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-02T16:51:27Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 18","filings_12m":18,"filings_prev_12m":10,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":212500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-15T09:21:55+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":3}],"liveness":{"score":22,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.499,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":73,"expected_fill_days":61,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-15T07:52:55Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":330000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/perplexity-ai-product-manager-smb-growth","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/perplexity-ai-product-manager-smb-growth.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-15T13:42:16Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4545,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fperplexity-ai-product-manager-smb-growth"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fperplexity-ai-product-manager-smb-growth"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fperplexity-ai-product-manager-smb-growth"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/perplexity-ai-product-manager-smb-growth\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fperplexity-ai-product-manager-smb-growth"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":191605}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"perplexity.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":191605},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
