- 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

What the job involves
- 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 Partner Marketing Manager 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
- 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
Our take
As AI continues to drive changes in both business operations and day-to-day lives, Perplexity delivers an intelligent search engine powered by conversational AI, to improve search outcomes and "unlock the power of knowledge" for all.
Reaching impressive heights of 22M monthly visits, Perplexity's "ask anything" method of search is clearly a popular one. And what sets it apart from other search engines is in its answers, which are concise and fully cited, responding to the user query rather than simply providing a place in which they can scroll to find it themselves.
The company has raised substantial funding, with contributions from former execs at companies like OpenAI, Meta, and Quora, demonstrating the interest that it has drummed up in the space. Having doubled its annual recurring revenue between 2023 and 24, this investment has allowed Perplexity to continue building out its product, and accelerate growth into the future.
