Role details
- Perplexity is revolutionizing how the world gets work done, and we do it alongside some of the most important companies in the world.
- We are seeking a PMM focused on Partnerships to formally build that function from the ground up.
- You will become the face that some of Perplexity's most important partners rely on, and the person who makes our joint moments land.
- This is a 0>1 role with executive exposure from day one.
It has two sides.
- You are the relationship owner who partners trust and internal teams turn to, and you are the program manager who keeps every joint launch, event, and campaign on the rails.
- You'll work directly with teams across comms, product marketing, sales, and product, owning how Perplexity and its partners show up to the world together.
- If you learn fast, thrive in ambiguity, and build trust with the biggest companies in the world instinctively, this role is for you.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own Perplexity's partner marketing function end to end, from joint strategy through campaign execution and reporting
- Build annual joint marketing plans with our most important partners, with committed pipeline and revenue targets, and run the QBR cadence that keeps both sides accountable to them
- Ensure Perplexity and our partners are both accountable. Execute, driving joint marketing ideas from concept to shipped and following through so commitments turn into real activity, not slideware
- Own the joint value proposition and narrative, crafting the "better together" story so it is aligned across both companies, resonates with buyers, and is mutually beneficial
- Execute full-funnel co-marketing with and through partners, including joint webinars, events, ABM, content syndication, email, and digital campaigns
- Build partner enablement assets, including co-branded content, solution briefs, pitch decks, joint case studies, and campaign-in-a-box kits, so partner teams can sell and market with us at scale
- Coordinate launch moments and joint announcements, amplifying Perplexity product launches and major industry moments through the ecosystem
- Instrument measurement and attribution, tracking partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline in CRM, and reporting ecosystem impact to leadership.
- Align the field, making sure Perplexity sales and Customer Success know about, trust, and activate partner programs so they stick
- Act as connective tissue between Partnerships and BD, PMM, Demand Generation, Sales, and Comms, and serve as the primary marketing counterpart to our partners' marketing teams
- Maintain strong relationships in partner organizations and Perplexity across diverse organizations
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 5+ years in B2B marketing, preferably in partner, alliance, or ecosystem marketing
- Proven track record running joint go-to-market with technology and ISV partners, cloud providers, or system integrators, and shipping campaigns that generated real pipeline
- A closer on accountability, with the operating discipline to build a plan, hold two organizations to it, and drive follow-through when commitments slip
- Strong storyteller who can craft a joint narrative that is crisp, differentiated, and credible to buyers and executives on both sides
- Full-funnel campaign operator fluent across webinars, events, ABM, content, and digital, comfortable executing hands-on rather than only directing
- Analytically rigorous, with experience setting up attribution and reporting partner-sourced and influenced pipeline; comfortable in CRM and revenue operation tools
- Excellent relationship builder who can be trusted while representing Perplexity's interests to partners
- Autonomous self-starter who thrives in ambiguity, builds the playbook rather than waiting for one, and operates with urgency in a high-growth environment
