Business Operations Manager, Marketing and CommunicationsActive$135K–$180K
The opportunity
Perplexity is scaling at a pace few companies experience, and the Communications and Marketing team is growing with it. We're hiring a Business Operations Manager to build and run the operating system underneath, so an incredibly busy team can move fast and stay in lockstep.
What you'll do
Own the marketing and comms tool stack: evaluate, procure, onboard, provision access, train the team, and retire what we've outgrown
Build and maintain internal tools such as calendars, intake forms,: dashboards, trackers, and automations, and keep them reliable as more people depend on them
Run the team's operating rhythm: priorities, launch and campaign calendars, planning cycles, and the cross-functional handoffs that carry work from idea to launch without dropped threads
Manage agencies, contractors, and vendors from selection and onboarding: through scopes, invoices, renewals, and performance
Keep contracts and procurement moving with Legal and Finance so agreements never become the bottleneck
Be the connective tissue across the team: know who's working on what, spot dependencies early, and keep people aligned without adding meetings
What they're looking for
- Act as a thought partner and triage point to leadership: keep them informed, spot problems early, know when to escalate, propose solutions, and see them through
- Add rigor without slowing anyone down, knowing the difference between process: that helps and process that's overhead
- years in marketing operations, business operations, or a similar: systems-and-process role, ideally in a fast-growing technology company
- You build things. You've stood up tools, automations, or dashboards yourself,: and AI tools are already part of how you work
