Summary of Role
Perplexity AI is looking for a highly organized and resourceful Litigation Paralegal to serve as the operational backbone of a fast-moving, high-stakes litigation docket, with a particular focus on eDiscovery and related processes. This role reports to the Senior Counsel, Litigation and offers significant responsibility, direct exposure to novel questions at the intersection of artificial intelligence and law, and growth potential across other areas of an in-house practice group.
You’ll partner closely with outside counsel, eDiscovery vendors, and internal Engineering, Security, and IT stakeholders to run preservation, collection, review, and production workstreams across a growing portfolio of matters. You’ll own the day-to-day relationship with our eDiscovery vendors, keep spend and data volumes disciplined against negotiated rates and our Outside Counsel Guidelines, and run intake and matter tracking so that nothing slips. You’ll also handle the steady flow of third-party legal requests, including subpoenas, summonses, and preservation demands, and route each to the right owner with the facts and deadlines already assembled.
This is a hands-on role for someone who is detail-obsessed, comfortable with technical data sources, fluent with AI and legal-technology tooling, and energized by building repeatable systems from the ground up so that a small team can handle a large docket. If your instinct when something breaks is to redesign the process, you will do well here.

- Serve as day-to-day point of contact for eDiscovery and litigation-support vendors, including scoping engagements and statements of work, tracking data volumes and hosting costs, reviewing invoices
