Perplexity is seeking a Virtual Events Manager to build and scale a world-class virtual events channel that demonstrates product capabilities and drives user adoption and pipeline generation. This is a dual-role position combining charismatic product storytelling with operational excellence.
You will own the complete virtual events lifecycle: strategy, calendar planning, speaker recruitment and preparation, live hosting and moderation, production execution, and post-event follow-up. You'll develop deep product knowledge across Perplexity's AI answer engine and search offerings, then translate complex technical capabilities into compelling, accessible live demonstrations for both consumer and enterprise audiences.
Key responsibilities include: developing mastery of Perplexity's products through hands-on use; hosting and moderating virtual events with energy and clarity; recruiting and briefing subject-matter experts from Product, Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success; partnering with Growth and Marketing teams on full-funnel audience building and promotion; extending event value through recordings, clips, and educational materials; and instrumenting the funnel to measure registration, attendance, engagement, product activation, pipeline sourcing, and ROI.
You will build the operating system that scales the channel—intake processes, master calendars, production checklists, speaker bench, readiness gates, and reporting cadence. Success requires balancing creative storytelling with analytical rigor, managing ambiguity in a high-velocity environment, and continuously improving based on data.
Required: 3+ years in virtual events, product marketing, customer education, demand generation, or equivalent. Proven ability to learn technical products deeply and communicate them clearly on camera. Polished on-camera presence with hosting, interviewing, or presentation experience. Strong cross-functional collaboration skills. Full-funnel growth fluency (registration, segmentation, testing, conversion, nurture). Analytical capability with CRM/marketing automation and ROI calculation. Excellent production judgment and attention to detail. High learning velocity and comfort in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
