消费者支持专员
Consumer Support Specialist
关于团队
Perplexity AI 的用户运营团队是用户体验的前线。我们确保我们的 AI 驱动的搜索和答案引擎为每位用户——从个人消费者到团队和组织——带来实际价值。我们的团队在 3-4 个活跃的支持渠道——邮件、应用内消息、Slack 和社区——中运作，并与产品、工程、计费和增长团队紧密合作，将用户反馈转化为产品改进。我们是一个精简、快速推进的团队，在一家不断发布产品的初创公司中，团队中的每个人都身兼多职，贡献远超解决工单本身。
关于职位
Perplexity 以快速推出新功能和产品而闻名——这个职位就位于这一过程的核心。我们需要一位用户运营全能人才，具备出色的客户服务直觉和真正的技术深度。你将在多个渠道处理大量用户咨询，同时深入分析产品问题，利用客户反馈发现潜在问题，并提供能提升所有人体验的解决方案。
这不仅仅是处理工单。随着新功能和产品的发布，你将是第一个从用户那里听到相关信息的人——哪些工作正常，哪些令人困惑，哪些出现故障。你将利用这些互动来提炼出影响发布效果的洞察，提前发现可能扩大的问题，并向用户提供清晰的解决方案。你还将构建自动化流程并优化工作流，让团队更快、更智能地运转，从而跟上产品发布的节奏，同时不牺牲质量。
你应该能够熟练操作多个支持渠道，并有搭建或优化多渠道支持运营的经验——不只是在其中工作，还要能批判性地思考它们的结构、路由和扩展方式。
这个职位需要一个人能够应对不确定性，并填补现有流程中尚未存在的空白。你并不总会有操作手册——而这正是重点。我们需要的是一个能定义前进方向的人，而不仅仅是一个遵循者。
你是一位能力强、独立的执行者，不需要被告知下一步该做什么：
- 你能发现差距——无论是缺失的帮助中心文章、断裂的工作流程，还是用户工单中的模式——然后立即采取行动进行修复
- 你有自我驱动力并主动出击，但也知道何时提出问题
- 你能够有效地与团队沟通——及时告知信息，尽早暴露障碍，并确保没有任何事情被遗漏

ABOUT THE TEAM
The User Operations team at Perplexity AI is the frontline of our user experience. We ensure that our AI-powered search and answer engine delivers real value to every user—from individual consumers to teams and organizations. Our team operates across 3-4 active support channels—email, in-app messaging, Slack, and community—and collaborates closely with Product, Engineering, Billing, and Growth to turn user feedback into product improvements. We’re a lean, fast-moving group at a startup that ships constantly, so everyone on the team wears multiple hats and contributes well beyond just resolving tickets.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Perplexity launches new features and products at a rapid pace—and this role sits at the center of that. We need a User Operations Generalist who combines excellent customer support instincts with real technical depth. You’ll handle high volumes of user inquiries across channels while also digging into product issues, using customer feedback to uncover problems, and providing solutions that improve the experience for everyone.
This isn’t just ticket work. As new features and products ship, you’re the person who hears about it first from users—what’s working, what’s confusing, and what’s broken. You’ll use those interactions to surface insights that shape how launches land, identify issues before they scale, and provide clear solutions back to users. You’ll also build automations and improve workflows that make the team faster and smarter, so we can keep up with the pace of the product without sacrificing quality.
You should be comfortable operating across multiple support channels and have experience standing up or optimizing multi-channel support operations—not just working in them, but thinking critically about how they’re structured, routed, and scaled.
This role requires someone who can navigate ambiguity and fill in the gaps where processes don’t yet exist. You won’t always have a playbook—and that’s the point. We need someone who can define the path forward, not just follow one.
You’re a strong, independent operator who doesn’t need to be told what to do next:
- You see the gap—whether it’s a missing Help Center article, a broken workflow, or a pattern in user tickets—and you move to fix it
- You’re self-motivated and take initiative, but you also know when to ask questions
- You communicate effectively with the team—keeping people informed, surfacing blockers early, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks
- We won’t hold your hand through this role, and we wouldn’t want to—because you’re the kind of person who thrives when given ownership and trust
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Handle a high volume of user inquiries across channels (email, chat, Slack, community) with speed, accuracy, and empathy for both consumer and business users.
- Deliver excellent customer support—clear, thoughtful, and human—even under pressure and at scale
- Triage and prioritize effectively to keep response and resolution times on target
- Use customer feedback and support interactions as a primary source for uncovering product issues, UX confusion, and feature gaps—especially as new products and features launch
- Investigate and troubleshoot product issues: reproduce problems, isolate root causes, provide users with solutions or workarounds, and document findings for Engineering
- Guide users through technical troubleshooting: AI search, LLM behavior, account configuration
- File well-documented bugs in Linear with enough context for Engineering to act immediately
- Leverage AI tooling and automation (Intercom, scripts) to streamline operations, reduce repetitive work, and scale support quality
- Write and maintain Help Center articles, internal SOPs, escalation playbooks, and troubleshooting guides
- Communicate cross-functionally—surface user insights to Product and Engineering, escalate issues, close the loop, and keep teammates informed
- Track support KPIs and propose data-driven process improvements
REQUIREMENTS
- 3+ years in customer support, user operations, or technical support—ideally at a SaaS or tech company
- Proven ability to manage high ticket volumes while maintaining quality and empathy
- Excellent customer-facing communication: clear, professional, and adaptable to different audiences
- Technical aptitude: comfortable working through product issues, navigating technical questions independently, and learning new tools and systems quickly
- Hands-on experience with AI tools and automation platforms (Intercom workflows, scripting) to improve operations
- Familiarity with AI, LLMs, or search technologies
- Strong internal communication—keeps their immediate team informed, writes crisp updates for immediate team and cross-functional partners (Product, Engineering, etc.), and ensures stakeholders stay in the loop on issues and progress
- Self-motivated and proactive: manages own priorities, takes initiative, delivers without waiting for direction
- Experience creating user-facing documentation (e.g., Help Center articles, FAQs, guides) as well as internal SOPs, templates, and playbooks
- Experience with multi-channel support operations—not just working across channels, but helping stand up, optimize, or scale how support is structured and routed
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-volume startup environment with shifting priorities
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience with support and operations tooling such as Intercom, Parahelp, Linear, Notion, or Stripe.
- Familiarity with prompting techniques and LLM optimization
- Basic web tech understanding (HTTP, REST APIs, JavaScript, HTML)
- Data analysis tools (SQL, Looker, Snowflake)
- Scripting or lightweight automation background (Google Apps Script, Python)
- Experience at an early-stage or high-growth startup
WHO YOU ARE
You’re the kind of person who:
- Sees a gap and fills it before anyone asks
- Thrives in high-volume environments and keeps quality high even when things move fast
- Thinks creatively—you don’t just follow the playbook, you look for better ways to solve problems and aren’t afraid to try something new
- Treats every user interaction as a chance to learn something about the product
- Gets energized by building automations that save the team hours
- Communicates with clarity—whether writing a Help Center article, filing a bug, or updating the team in Slack
- Takes full ownership end-to-end: you don’t just escalate, you follow through
