Partner Marketing Manager

Responsibilities

• Own Perplexity's partner marketing function end to end, from joint strategy through campaign execution and reporting.
• Build annual joint marketing plans with our most important partners, with committed pipeline and revenue targets, and run the QBR cadence that keeps both sides accountable to them.
• Ensure Perplexity and our partners are both accountable. Execute, driving joint marketing ideas from concept to shipped and following through so commitments turn into real activity, not slideware.
• Own the joint value proposition and narrative, crafting the "better together" story so it is aligned across both companies, resonates with buyers, and is mutually beneficial.
• Execute full-funnel co-marketing with and through partners, including joint webinars, events, ABM, content syndication, email, and digital campaigns.
• Build partner enablement assets, including co-branded content, solution briefs, pitch decks, joint case studies, and campaign-in-a-box kits, so partner teams can sell and market with us at scale.
• Coordinate launch moments and joint announcements, amplifying Perplexity product launches and major industry moments through the ecosystem.
• Instrument measurement and attribution, tracking partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline in CRM, and reporting ecosystem impact to leadership.
• Align the field, making sure Perplexity sales and Customer Success know about, trust, and activate partner programs so they stick.
• Act as connective tissue between Partnerships and BD, PMM, Demand Generation, Sales, and Comms, and serve as the primary marketing counterpart to our partners' marketing teams.
• Maintain strong relationships in partner organizations and Perplexity across diverse organizations.

Requirements

• 3+ years in B2B marketing, preferably in partner, alliance, or ecosystem marketing.
• Proven track record running joint go-to-market with technology and ISV partners, cloud providers, or system integrators, and shipping campaigns that generated real pipeline.
• A closer on accountability, with the operating discipline to build a plan, hold two organizations to it, and drive follow-through when commitments slip.
• Strong storyteller who can craft a joint narrative that is crisp, differentiated, and credible to buyers and executives on both sides.
• Full-funnel campaign operator fluent across webinars, events, ABM, content, and digital, comfortable executing hands-on rather than only directing.
• Analytically rigorous, with experience setting up attribution and reporting partner-sourced and influenced pipeline; comfortable in CRM and revenue operation tools.
• Excellent relationship builder who can be trusted while representing Perplexity's interests to partners.
• Autonomous self-starter who thrives in ambiguity, builds the playbook rather than waiting for one, and operates with urgency in a high-growth environment.
