Program Manager, Talent Acquisition

Own Perplexity's most consequential talent programs end-to-end, from ambiguous mandate to shipped outcome. Partner directly with executives and recruiting leadership to turn strategy into programs with clear owners, milestones, and accountability. Drive cross-functional initiatives across Recruiting, People, Finance, and business leadership, aligning stakeholders and clearing blockers before they escalate. Design the operating cadence of the org: planning cycles, prioritization, reporting rhythms, and executive updates that keep leadership decisive. Build the systems, tooling, and workflows that let recruiting scale, automating the repetitive so human judgment goes to the highest-leverage work. Stand up the metrics and dashboards that turn hiring data into faster, sharper decisions. Anticipate risk on the highest-visibility programs, communicate crisply under pressure, and drive to resolution when priorities shift. Set the bar for program excellence and codify repeatable playbooks the rest of the company can adopt.
