Perplexity median: 62 days open

The posting

In 2026, we launched Computer, the defining product for the new era of agentic AI. We’ve scaled beyond the millions of people using Perplexity every day for research, shopping, investing, and curiosity into a new paradigm of using AI to transform knowledge into action.

Thousands of attorneys, Am Law firms, and corporate legal teams already rely on Perplexity every week—and Legal is one of our highest-conviction enterprise verticals. Following the playbook that scaled Perplexity Finance, we are looking for an entrepreneurial Product Manager to build and scale our Legal vertical from the ground up.

Product Managers at Perplexity work closely with design, engineering, research, and go-to-market teams to turn frontier AI capabilities into indispensable daily workflows. Whether you have a couple of years of product experience at a legal AI or B2B software company, or you are an early-career builder or operator with high agency and a steep trajectory, this role offers rare end-to-end ownership of a flagship vertical. In your application, please highlight a product, workflow, or agent system you’ve built—or a specific legal problem you believe AI is uniquely positioned to solve.

THE ROLE

Legal work sits at the exact intersection where Perplexity shines: high-stakes research, multi-document synthesis, verifiable citations, and multi-step execution across specialized systems. Winning in Legal requires clearing an uncompromising bar for accuracy, source authority, document fidelity, and enterprise governance—without sacrificing the speed and simplicity that make Perplexity magical.

Sitting within our AI Capabilities & Verticals PM team, you will be the dedicated product owner for Perplexity’s Legal vertical. Rather than building an isolated point solution, you will shape how core Perplexity surfaces—Computer, Search, Teammates, Projects, Plugins, Skills, and Artifacts—come together into a cohesive, trusted experience for litigators, transactional counsel, and in-house legal teams. You will partner across Engineering, Design, AI Research, Partnerships, Sales, and Product Marketing to close product and data gaps, co-design with leading law firms and legal departments, and scale Legal into one of Perplexity’s flagship enterprise businesses.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Own the Legal vertical roadmap end-to-end: Define and execute product strategy across litigation research, M&A and transactional diligence, contract review and drafting, and in-house legal workflows—translating attorney pain points into modular capabilities that benefit the entire platform.

- Ship core legal primitives and entrypoints: Partner with Engineering and Design to build the product surfaces high-stakes legal work demands—including structured multi-document review tables for diligence and discovery, passage-level inline citations with side-by-side source verification across PDFs/DOCX/spreadsheets, precision redlining and document comparison, and seamless workflows inside Microsoft Word, Outlook/email, and Slack.

- Expand the legal data and connector ecosystem: Work closely with Business Development/Partnerships and Engineering to prioritize, integrate, and launch authoritative legal research sources (case law, citators, dockets, secondary sources) and system-of-record connectors across DMS, VDRs, CLM, e-discovery, and practice management (e.g., LexisNexis, Westlaw, iManage, NetDocuments, Datasite, Intralinks, Ironclad, Clio).

- Build Legal Skills, Plugins, Teammates, and tailored onboarding: Design out-of-the-box legal workflows, domain-specific Skills, and tailored onboarding flows that ingest a lawyer’s or firm’s clause playbooks, precedent templates, and drafting conventions for immediate time-to-value.

- Set the bar for accuracy, evaluations, and enterprise trust: Partner with AI Research and Engineering to build realistic, workflow-level legal benchmarks and evaluation harnesses (measuring citation fidelity, retrieval recall, tabular extraction, and redline quality), alongside enterprise controls for permissions, matter-level governance, and data handling.

- Co-design with customers and accelerate vertical GTM: Build design partnerships with leading law firms and corporate legal teams, join strategic customer calls to turn live blockers into shipped product, and partner with Sales, Applied AI, and Product Marketing to craft category-defining demos, case studies, and self-serve and enterprise growth loops.

QUALIFICATIONS

- 1–4+ years of experience in product management, founding/early-stage product building, forward-deployed product/solutions, or a high-intensity analytical/operating role (such as startup operations, strategy consulting, or investment banking) paired with hands-on product shipping. We index heavily on slope, curiosity, and execution speed rather than years on a resume.

- No JD or formal legal degree required—though genuine curiosity about how legal professionals research, analyze risk, negotiate, and deliver work is essential.

- AI-native builder: You actively build with LLMs and agents. You are comfortable writing and tuning prompts and Skills, prototyping workflows end-to-end, reasoning about tool calls and context budgets, and designing evaluations and human-in-the-loop safeguards for non-deterministic systems.

- Analytical and data-fluent: Comfortable writing SQL, pulling your own cohorts, instrumenting failure modes, running guarded experiments, and pairing warehouse metrics with qualitative user research to focus on what drives retention and repeat high-value usage.

- Crisp communicator and high-velocity executor: Strong written and verbal communication; comfortable moving directly from a partner call with an Am Law firm into writing a tight spec with engineers and shipping iterations the same week.

- High-ownership operator: Thrives in a small, agile, low-ego team where processes are still being defined and you own the full stack of the outcome—from multi-quarter vertical strategy down to dogfooding edge cases in redlined Word documents.

NICE TO HAVE

- Experience building or operating at a legal AI, legal tech, e-discovery, CLM, or vertical enterprise AI company (or working directly with law firms and corporate legal departments).

- Familiarity with real-world legal workflows and tooling—such as litigation cite-checking (Shepard’s/KeyCite), M&A virtual data rooms, contract redlining playbooks, DMS/CLM integrations, or Microsoft Office add-ins.

- Technical foundation (CS, engineering, data science, or dual technical/business training) with comfort reading API documentation, MCP/connector schemas, and system architectures.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
