Product Manager, SMB Growth

Details

In 2026, Perplexity launched Computer, a product for the era of agentic AI. The product is expanding beyond research, shopping, investing, and curiosity to transform knowledge into action.

Product Managers at Perplexity work closely with design and engineering on product systems and experiences that help more people discover, adopt, and get lasting value from Perplexity. The ideal candidate combines product intuition with analytical rigor, strong communication and writing skills, the ability to envision innovative technology, and a willingness to reimagine work to be more efficient and creative. Applicants should highlight the growth problems, experiments, or loops they are most proud of building.

Responsibilities

• Own the SMB design partner program end to end. Real operators run their businesses on Computer so Perplexity can build and test agents against real workflows and demonstrate that Computer improves revenue metrics for SMBs.
• Recruit and onboard design partners by defining the partner profile, setting up connectors and project context, and designing the metrics each engagement should affect.
• Build and iterate on Computer's first-party skill packs until the output meets the standard an operator would otherwise expect from a paid agency.
• Convert partner feedback into a prioritized roadmap of skill, connector, and capability improvements; write specifications and drive execution with the connectors and capabilities teams.
• Drive case studies end to end with partnerships, product, and growth marketing by running engagements, measuring results honestly, and packaging them for paid, organic, and partner channels.
• Expand usage among existing SMB operators by driving adoption of relevant capabilities through onboarding, lifecycle initiatives, and in-product recommendations.

Requirements

• 2–4 years of total work experience with a strong academic record.
• Two years in investment banking, strategy consulting, or a comparable high-intensity analytical role, followed by operating experience.
• Experience running or working closely alongside real marketing workflows, including paid social, lifecycle, conversion rate optimization, or search engine optimization. Understands what quality looks like to an operator.
• Uses agents to perform real work and is comfortable writing prompts and skills and building end-to-end automation systems.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to manage a working relationship with a founder or head of marketing.
• Comfortable with SQL, including pulling cohorts, validating segments, and reading dashboards independently.
• Ability to operate at high velocity, ship daily, iterate weekly, and thrive in fast-paced, early-stage environments where processes are still being defined.

Nice to Have

• Founder or early employee experience at a direct-to-consumer or e-commerce brand, performance marketing agency, or 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.
