Perplexity

Perplexity is seeking an Enablement Specialist to help enterprise customers build the knowledge, confidence, and repeatable practices required to reach value with Perplexity Computer. This role is ideal for someone who combines technical fluency, strong facilitation, and a track record of building onboarding and adoption programs that scale. About the role Perplexity Computer enables customers to build AI-powered workflows that navigate tools, interact with applications, and complete multi-step work. Helping organizations adopt this new way of working requires more than a product demonstration or one-time kickoff. Enablement Specialists design and deliver the programs that move customers from initial access to confident, sustained use. You will create onboarding journeys for different levels of readiness, lead customer workshops and office hours, diagnose adoption barriers, and turn repeated questions into scalable guidance. This is a customer-facing role that works closely with Customer Success, Applied AI Architects, Product, Marketing, and Support. Customer Success retains ownership of the account, adoption strategy, and expansion strategy; you will own the enablement programs and interventions that help customers and customer success managers become self-sufficient. What you'll do - Design customer journeys. Build onboarding and adoption programs for customers and user cohorts with different roles, goals, technical readiness, and levels of AI experience. - Deliver high-quality enablement. Lead technical kickoffs, workshops, office hours, remote sessions, onsite programs, webinars, and train-the-trainer experiences. - Make complex concepts accessible. Teach Computer and agentic-workflow concepts clearly to both technical and nontechnical audiences. - Guide customers through setup. Help customers understand access, members, permissions, connectors, credits, models, initial workflows, and the practices required to get started. - Diagnose adoption barriers. Determine whether a customer is blocked by knowledge, readiness, process, configuration, product capability, or technical complexity. - Route complex needs well. Recognize when a question requires an Applied AI Architect, Customer Success, Support, Product, or Engineering and provide a clear handoff. - Create scalable assets. Turn repeated onboarding and adoption needs into curricula, customer checklists, implementation guidance, lifecycle communications, videos, examples, and internal enablement. - Use evidence to increase adoption and consumption. Segment customers by readiness and usage behavior, identify where consumption stalls, deliver targeted interventions, and measure activation, time to first value, repeat usage, sustained credit consumption, and program effectiveness. - Build the learning loop. Bring customer patterns and feedback back to Applied AI, Product, Customer Success, Marketing, and Support. What we're looking for The strongest Enablement Specialists can teach, diagnose, and design for scale. You should be able to run a compelling customer session, understand the technical details behind a blocker, and build a repeatable program rather than solving the same problem one customer at a time. Must-haves - 4+ years in technical onboarding, customer enablement, implementation, solutions consulting, customer education, or a technically oriented Customer Success role. - Proven program-building experience. You have designed and delivered onboarding, training, or adoption programs across live and self-service formats. - Strong facilitation and communication. You can explain complex product and AI concepts clearly to technical and nontechnical audiences. - Technical fluency. You can guide customers through permissions, connectors, models, credits, workflows, and common integration concepts. - Strong diagnostic judgment. You can determine whether a customer is blocked by education, readiness, process, configuration, product capability, or technical complexity. - Data-informed growth mindset. You have used product and usage data to identify adoption gaps, trigger interventions, move customer cohorts toward sustained use, and evaluate impact. - Cross-functional operating ability. You can work effectively with Customer Success, Sales, Product, Marketing, Support, and technical teams. - High ownership. You set clear expectations, improve weak processes, and operate effectively in a fast-moving environment. Nice-to-haves - Experience with AI products, agentic workflows, enterprise SaaS, or other technically complex platforms. - Experience building technical onboarding or adoption programs for enterprise customers. - Background in adult learning, instructional design, customer education, or enablement operations. - Experience using product and usage data to trigger interventions and measure activation, time to value, and sustained engagement. - Experience developing customer-facing technical content, workshops, or certification programs.

Great products grow when people experience their value firsthand. We are looking for a Field Marketing Manager to design and scale programs that turn in-person engagement into enterprise pipeline. You will manage a full range of third-party sponsorships and Perplexity-led field events that drive awareness, deepen relationships with senior buyers, and accelerate opportunities. You will join a small field marketing team as an equal partner, working together to divide the portfolio based on company priorities, capacity, geography, and each person's strengths. This is a hands-on role for someone who can set the strategy and execute every detail. You will work closely with Sales, Product Marketing, Growth, Partnerships, and Customer Success to identify the right audiences, build programs around their needs, and turn each event into measurable business impact. The ideal candidate is a field marketing generalist who is equally comfortable evaluating a sponsorship, building a regional plan, hosting an executive dinner, working a conference floor, and analyzing pipeline conversion afterward. You may bring deeper experience in sponsored events or owned programs, but you should be ready to operate across both. RESPONSIBILITIES - Co-own the field marketing strategy. Work as an equal partner on a two-person field marketing team to build the portfolio around company priorities, target accounts, sales territories, product launches, and pipeline goals. Divide and conquer across programs while maintaining shared standards, visibility, and accountability. - Turn field engagement into pipeline. Design every program around a clear audience, business objective, conversion path, and follow-up plan, from pre-event outreach through opportunity creation and deal acceleration. - Own third-party event sponsorships. Evaluate conferences and sponsorship opportunities, recommend where Perplexity should invest, negotiate and activate packages, coordinate speakers and on-site presence, and build the pre-event and post-event motion required to produce a return. - Run high-impact Perplexity events. Own executive dinners, vertical roundtables, regional roadshows, customer workshops, and hackathons that build pipeline and deepen relationships with senior buyers. - Align tightly with Sales. Partner with Account Executives, SDRs, and Sales leadership on target-account lists, meeting goals, outreach, on-site roles, hand-raiser routing, and post-event follow-up. - Represent Perplexity in the market. Lead on-site execution across conferences and owned events, including messaging, booth or venue experience, executive participation, customer meetings, and post-event conversion. - Build integrated campaigns around field moments. Work with Product Marketing, Growth, Lifecycle, Social, Comms, and Partnerships to extend events through targeted outreach, content, digital programs, and sales activation before and after each moment. - Own execution end to end. Manage agencies, vendors, venues, budgets, timelines, run-of-show, staffing, production, and contingency planning while maintaining a high bar for attendee experience. - Measure outcomes, not activity. Instrument the path from invited account through registration, attendance, meeting, opportunity, and revenue. Track cost per attendee, meetings held, target-account engagement, sourced and influenced pipeline, deal acceleration, and program ROI. - Build the field operating system. Create the planning cadence, intake process, event tiers, checklists, reporting, and retros required to scale the program and make investment decisions based on results. QUALIFICATIONS - 5+ years of experience in field marketing and event marketing, ideally in B2B SaaS or enterprise technology. - Proven track record building and scaling a portfolio that includes third-party sponsorships, conferences, and company-led field programs, with measurable pipeline or deal-acceleration results. - A versatile, hands-on operator who can move between strategy, sponsorship evaluation, campaign planning, event production, executive management, on-site execution, and performance analysis. - Deep expertise in either third-party sponsorships or company-led field events is welcome, provided you have the range and interest to operate across both. - Strong event planning and execution skills, with experience managing both intimate executive programs and larger conferences, roadshows, or customer events. - Collaborative and low-ego, with experience working alongside a peer to divide a large portfolio, make tradeoffs, share context, and step into each other's programs when needed. - Excellent relationship builder who can engage senior executives, customers, prospects, Sales teams, vendors, and cross-functional partners with equal ease. - Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft compelling event narratives, executive briefs, and field campaign plans. - Analytically rigorous, with experience setting targets, managing budgets, working with CRM data, and reporting sourced and influenced pipeline. - Highly organized, resourceful, and calm under pressure, with the judgment to solve problems quickly when plans change on site. - Willingness to travel frequently for event management and field activations.

We're looking for a Growth Brand Designer to sit at the intersection of brand craft and growth performance. You'll be the designer who makes Perplexity's highest-volume, highest-leverage marketing surfaces — paid ads, social, lifecycle email, and campaign assets — look unmistakably Perplexity while actually moving the numbers. This is a shipping role, but it's equally a thinking role. Strategic concepting is a big part of the job: you'll sit with the Growth team as an ideator — generating campaign concepts, testing hypotheses, and shaping the creative strategy behind the work — not just executing briefs handed to you. The ideas you bring to the table matter as much as the assets you ship. You'll produce a steady stream of ad and campaign creative across formats and channels, then work with Growth to read the results and iterate. You care about conversion and craft in equal measure: you'd never ship an off-brand asset to win a test, and you'd never hide behind polish when the data says a concept isn't working. You'll report into the Brand/Creative Studio team and work closely with Growth, Product Marketing, Brand, and our motion and web designers. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Drive strategic concepting for growth campaigns — bring original ideas, angles, and creative territories to the table, and shape the brief rather than just receiving it - Operate as a true ideation partner to the Growth team: co-develop campaign strategy, propose test hypotheses, and pitch concepts that open up new creative directions - Own the design of growth creative end-to-end — paid social and display ads, campaign assets, and lifecycle email — from concept to shipped asset - Design for volume and velocity: build variant sets, test hypotheses, and iterate on winners with the Growth team using real performance data - Turn product launches and GTM campaigns into ad creative that lands on every channel it runs — static, animated, and everything in between - Build and maintain scalable ad and email templates so high-frequency asset production stays fast and on-brand - Partner with Brand to keep visual consistency across every growth touchpoint as our brand system evolves - Collaborate with our motion designer and web designer so campaigns feel cohesive from the first ad impression to the landing page - Bring a strong point of view on what makes performance creative great — and push back when a "best practice" would cheapen the brand WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - A strong portfolio of growth and brand design work — paid ads, social campaigns, lifecycle email, campaign systems — that shows both craft and results - Proven strategic concepting ability: you can show campaigns where the idea was yours, not just the execution, and articulate the thinking behind them - Excellent visual design skills with a clear sense of brand, typography, layout, and composition - Hands-on experience designing performance creative at a consumer or prosumer tech company, including working directly with growth or performance marketing teams - Fluency reading creative performance data (CTR, conversion, hook rates) and translating it into design decisions - Ability to work fast, manage a high volume of deliverables across channels, and iterate quickly without dropping the quality bar - Fluency in Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite - An instinct for building repeatable systems — templates, variant frameworks, asset kits — rather than one-off files - 5+ years of industry experience NICE TO HAVE - Motion design skills — animated ads, short-form video for social, or After Effects fluency - Familiarity with ad platform specs and constraints (Meta, Google, TikTok, X, YouTube) and how they shape creative decisions - Experience using AI-assisted design and image-generation workflows to scale creative output - Copywriting instincts — you can tighten a headline when there's no writer in the room

Nice to have - 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. 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. Learn: 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. Build: 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. Integrate: 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. Repeat. For curious people this is a cycle that never ends.

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. Learn: 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. Build: 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. Integrate: 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. Repeat. For curious people this is a cycle that never ends.

Perplexity is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Forward Deployed Engineer to ensure our customers are getting the most out of their Perplexity Computer deployments. This role is ideal for technical, consultative professionals who have driven complex software implementations for bleeding edge customers. ABOUT THE ROLE Perplexity Computer is a new class of AI system that navigates tools, interacts with applications, and completes multi-step enterprise workflows end-to-end. Our largest customers are Fortune 500 enterprises, top consulting firms, and frontier finance and legal shops. They are betting on Computer to automate work where no traditional software has ever succeeded. Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) are the people we embed with customers to scope their highest-leverage use cases, and ship a working solution at velocity. You will leave your customers with something that drives measurable impact. This is not a Solutions Engineer role, not a Customer Success role, and not a generalist implementation role. It is a customer-embedded, hands-on-keyboard, outcome-owning role that sits at the intersection of engineering, solutions architecture, and technical program management. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Embed with strategic customers on time-boxed engagements (typically 1–3 months) running the engagement like a project with clear scope, milestones, and exit criteria. - Design and build the workflow with support from engineering as needed. You will be hands-on-keyboard in Computer and adjacent tooling. You will prototype, ship, debug, and harden the solution in the customer's environment. - Own the customer relationship for the duration of the engagement: manage expectations with executive sponsors, run weekly working sessions with practitioner teams, and de-risk the deployment end-to-end. - Turn every engagement into leverage. Deployments should produce a reusable skill, connector, workflow template, or reference implementation that our next customer, our GTM team, or our Product team can build on. - Partner with Sales and Customer Success on scoping, pre-sales technical validation, and expansion. You are the technical voice in the room for our highest-value opportunities. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR The best FDEs we've seen are roughly ⅓ engineer, ⅓ customer-facing solutions architect, ⅓ services-oriented program manager. You should be excellent at at least two of the three and credible in all three. Must-haves - 5+ years in a customer-embedded technical role: forward-deployed engineering, senior solutions engineering, solutions architecture, or technical consulting at a strong services organization. - Proven track record running customer engagements as projects: scoping, milestones, status, executive comms, risk management, exit criteria. You have said "no" and "not yet" to customers and made it stick. - AI-native. You use frontier LLMs, agents, and coding assistants daily and have strong intuition for what current models can and cannot do reliably. - Executive-credible communication. You can walk a CIO through architecture in a credible way while running the program on the ground as well. - High agency in ambiguity. No PM, no spec, no perfect requirements. You go in, figure out what matters, and ship. Nice-to-haves - Prior FDE, applied-AI, or deployment-strategist role at a frontier AI company - Sales Engineering leadership at an enterprise SaaS or infra company where you owned the technical outcome of $1M+ deals - Solutions Architect in a strong services team - Experience deploying agents, RAG systems, or multi-step LLM workflows in a regulated or complex enterprise environment - History of working at startups or small teams, owning customer projects end-to-end
