Responsibilities

Turn ambiguity into clarity. Transform complex product capabilities into a crisp market point of view, defining not just what we built, but who it's for, what it replaces, and why it wins.
Understand developers and shape the platform narrative. Maintain a deep, hands-on view of how developers evaluate and build with AI APIs, and translate that understanding into positioning, demos, reference apps, and use-case showcases that make it obvious what teams can build on the Perplexity API.
Drive API product adoption. Own the metrics that matter for a developer platform, including signups, first successful API call, activation, weekly active developers, and revenue, and build the programs that move them.
Build and manage developer campaigns. Plan and run integrated campaigns across owned channels, paid, social, email, events, hackathons, and partner ecosystems, defining the brief, commissioning assets, and reporting on funnel performance.
Drive launches as a system, not an event. Orchestrate product introductions by defining success metrics and sequencing readiness across teams, ensuring enablement and proof points land simultaneously with the launch.
Make others materially better at their jobs. Equip customer-facing teams with "talk tracks that close," handling objections and providing competitive intelligence that reflects the actual battlefield.
Obsess over the customer and the market. Maintain a sharp, real-time view of buyer needs and alternatives, ensuring our narrative remains grounded in truth and provable value rather than empty hype.
Measure outcomes, not just outputs. Tie messaging and launches to tangible pipeline influence, activation, and retention, running lightweight experiments to iterate fast on pricing, packaging, and positioning.

Qualifications

7+ years of experience in product marketing, ideally within a high-growth technology company where you have owned end-to-end product launches.
Experience marketing to developers, technical buyers, or an API, SDK, platform, or infrastructure product, with a strong grasp of the developer marketing playbook.
Technical fluency: comfortable reading API docs, running sample code, and credibly discussing tradeoffs like model choice, retrieval quality, latency, and cost with engineers and PMs.
