Qualifications
- You are a pacesetter who others need to keep up with. You stay on top—or ahead— of trends. You think big, move fast, fail gracefully, and learn quickly.
- You balance creative ideation and exceptional execution. You can take a concept from from initial plan all the way to “send post.”
- You are a maker with impeccable taste and a natural design sense. You can remix foundational brand elements into a polished deliverable.
- You are a storyteller across mediums: you can whip up social copy, edit storyboards, and communicate important messaging to our social audience.
- You are actively tracking the AI universe. You’re up to date on news trends, industry drama, and technical breakthroughs.
Responsibilities
- Build and execute a strategy across social channels that highlights the Perplexity product, business, community, and team.
- Lead day-to-day operations across all channels: social calendar management, original content creation, and production coordination.
- Spearhead the social component of launches/projects alongside our Product, Partnership, Growth, Business, Comms, and Community teams.
- Partner with our Brand and Design teams to produce beautiful social visuals.
- Own our core brand channels—X, LinkedIn, and Instagram—from end-to-end.
- Ideate and experiment on channels that we’ve yet to crack: TikTok and YouTube.
Qualifications:
- 4+ years of experience growing a brand’s social media presence
- Your portfolio showcases:
- Social copywriting that demonstrates your ability to internalize and adapt brand voice to different channels
- High-quality visual content that you’ve made yourself, or in partnership with designers and creatives
- Your ability to design and implement social strategy for a major launch, project, or campaign
- You thrive on a cross-functional team, using strong communication and task management skills to navigate complex projects.
- You’re familiar with social analytics and reporting. You balance taste and metrics, and leverage data to inform social strategy.
- You are experienced with creative tools such as Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, and Figma.
The cash compensation for this role is $90,000 - $120,000.
