Editorial Lead: Quality, Voice & Growth
perplexityMillbrae (CA)
About the role
Perplexity is seeking a Senior Editor to lead the quality and velocity of everything we publish. You will set the editorial bar for excellence and elevate every writer around you. If you relish shaping language without being precious about deadlines, and want to build a world-class editorial function from the ground up, this role is for you. You will own end-to-end editorial quality, mentor writers, and ensure our voice remains clear and consistent across channels.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
