About this role
Perplexity is scaling at a pace few companies ever experience, and talent is the surface where our biggest bets get won or lost.

When a complex, high-stakes program needs an owner, you're the person leadership turns to. What You'll Do - Own Perplexity's most consequential talent programs end-to-end, from ambiguous mandate to shipped outcome - Partner directly with executives and recruiting leadership to turn strategy into programs with clear owners, milestones, and accountability - Drive cross-functional initiatives across Recruiting, People, Finance, and business leadership, aligning stakeholders and clearing blockers before they escalate - Design the operating cadence of the org: planning cycles, prioritization, reporting rhythms, and executive updates that keep leadership decisive - Build the systems, tooling, and workflows that let recruiting scale, automating the repetitive so human judgment goes to the highest-leverage work - Stand up the metrics and dashboards that turn hiring data into faster, sharper decisions - Anticipate risk on the highest-visibility programs, communicate crisply under pressure, and drive to resolution when priorities shift - Set the bar for program excellence and codify repeatable playbooks the rest of the company can adopt What You Bring - 7+ years of program or project management experience, including ownership of companywide, mission-critical initiatives - Direct experience par
