Principal Counsel, Corporate

Summary of Role

Perplexity AI is looking for a Principal Counsel, Corporate to serve as the company’s primary lawyer for corporate governance, equity, and financing matters. In this role, you’ll own the full corporate legal lifecycle, from board and stockholder governance and equity administration to financings, secondary transactions, and entity management as we scale globally. You’ll work closely with our Finance, Accounting, Tax and People teams, as well as with our executive team and investors.

You’ll drive transactions from term sheet through closing, build the governance infrastructure that keeps a rapidly growing private company well-run, and stand up the templates, playbooks, and records systems that let corporate work scale without adding headcount. The ideal candidate brings deep private-company corporate and securities experience, precision with cap-table and equity mechanics, and the judgment to make principled calls independently.
