Role details
- In 2026, we launched Computer, the defining product for the new era of agentic AI. 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.
- 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.
- 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.
What you'll do
- Drive activation, repeat usage, and paid conversion across web, mobile, and desktop.
- Build and iterate the levers that move them: upsells, onboarding, upgrade flows, lifecycle, and design new agent-driven growth loops.
- Grow adoption of new products and cross-platform conversion: identify the optimal set of users, surfaces, and moments to introduce them, and drive repeat usage.
- Ship a high volume of experiments, from hypothesis and metric design through analysis, and turn the learnings into roadmap bets that grow our metrics.
- Analyze funnels, cohorts, and segments to find the highest-leverage opportunities and define the metrics behind them.
- Protect product quality while improving conversion, holding guardrails on retention, support volume, and margin.
- Write crisp specs and experiment briefs and drive execution across engineering, design, data, and marketing.
Qualifications
- 2–4 years of total work experience with a strong academic record.
- ~2 years in investment banking or consulting, followed by startup experience in a growth, product or founder role.
- Fluent in SQL, comfortable with experiment design and statistical readouts.
- Comfortable owning many parallel experiments and moving between analysis, spec-writing, and shipping in the same week.
- Thrives in ambiguity where processes are still being defined.
Nice to have
- Direct experience with A/B testing and experimentation platforms (Eppo, Statsig, Optimizely, or in-house equivalents).
- Experience with subscription and usage-based billing products, paywalls, or paid upgrade experimentation.
- Experience shipping across web and native mobile surfaces.
OUR MISSION
Perplexity'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.
Repeat. For curious people this is a cycle that never ends.
