Job description

Perplexity is seeking a Senior Editor to lead the quality and velocity of everything we publish. Our content spans a range of audiences, channels, and objectives. You will set the editorial bar for excellence and make every writer around you measurably better.

If you treat a clunky sentence and a sprawling launch narrative as the same kind of craft, take pride in language without being precious about deadlines, and want to build a world‑class editorial function from the ground up, this role is for you.

Responsibilities
  • Own editorial quality end to end.
  • Reject mediocrity.
  • Demand clarity. Ensure accuracy.
  • Be Perplexity. Evolve and enforce our voice. Everything we ship should sound like we shipped it.
  • Be accountable. Hold objective authority in a sea of subjective opinions.
  • Plan and manage the editorial calendar. Run prioritization and production for a fast-moving pipeline in a high-growth environment.
  • Edit at every level. Player‑coach plus team owner and stadium sponsor. Move fluidly from high-level editorial vision to developmental editing to line-level copy editing. Deliver feedback that makes the writing and the writer better.
  • Mentor, elevate, and attract excellent writers. Earn the respect of strong writers by making them stronger.
  • Make sense of things. Make sense to people.
  • Build the editorial system. Evolve and own the style guides and workflows.
  • Work productively across the company. Everyone wants content, and you’re the content.
Qualifications
  • 7+ years in editing, writing, or editorial leadership, with a body of published or edited work that demonstrates exceptional command of language.
  • High flexibility of tone and mind. You must be able to demonstrate an ability to adapt styles and voices for different channels or audiences.
  • High competence throughout the editorial stack: developmental editing, copy editing, content planning, and managing production.
  • A demonstrated track record of mentoring writers and improving the quality of a team's output, not just your own.
  • Exceptional ability to learn.
  • Refined judgment on all matters of structure, argument, and voice.
  • A proven eye for narrative in messy, ambiguous, or highly technical material.
  • Deep familiarity with the rules of grammar, style, and storytelling.
  • Enough experience in the bullet above that you have a clear perspective on which rules you intend to break and when.
  • Comfort using AI tools and the ability to articulate exactly where and how you incorporate them into your workflows.
  • A passion for the truth well‑told.
