About Pinterest:
Millions of people across the world come to Pinterest to find new ideas every day. It’s where they get inspiration, dream about new possibilities and plan for what matters most. Our mission is to help those people find their inspiration and create a life they love. In your role, you’ll be challenged to take on work that upholds this mission and pushes Pinterest forward. You’ll grow as a person and leader in your field, all the while helping Pinners make their lives better in the positive corner of the internet.
Creating a life you love also means finding a career that celebrates the unique perspectives and experiences that you bring. As you read through the expectations of the position, consider how your skills and experiences may complement the responsibilities of the role. We encourage you to think through your relevant and transferable skills from prior experiences.
Our new progressive work model is called PinFlex, a term that’s uniquely Pinterest to describe our flexible approach to living and working. Visit our PinFlex landing page to learn more.
We are a leaned-in platform where users come with active intent, not a place to watch funny dance videos or doom scroll through news. As a platform, we are uniquely positioned at the intersection of search, social, and commerce. The full-funnel experience across home feed, search, and related pins – combined with the ability to save, collaborate and curate – enables users to have dynamic, multi-session journeys and go seamlessly from inspiration to action. These journeys are rarely linear and Pinterest enables statefulness better than any other platform – allowing users to stop and start, refine down, broaden out and come back to where they left off – seamlessly navigating between discover, decide and do.
What you’ll do:
- Develop and execute a cohesive Pinterest Personalization & User Experience Patterns strategy and roadmap in close partnership with Executive, Product, Engineering, Design and other cross-functional stakeholders.
- Build innovative new experiences, unique to Pinterest, that help users find inspirational content and build a better life.
- Deeply collaborate with engineering leads in building the next generation of personalization for Pinterest.
- Lead a team of talented Product Managers. Mentor existing team while continuing to add great new talent to the organization
What we’re looking for:
- Trusted collaborator: in this role, you’ll partner closely with a variety of teams across the company, including Monetization, Trust & Safety, and more. You’ll need to build deep and trusted relationships with these teams and work together in service of key shared strategic priorities.
- Strategic thinker: You’ll need to understand the landscape in which we’re operating and make frequent tradeoffs and decisions around where to invest time and resources.
- Skilled communicator: You’ll communicate your strategy and plans to Executive audiences and to the company more broadly, and need the ability to communicate clearly and convincingly with a wide range of audiences.
- Strong people leader: You’ll lead an existing team of talented PMs and will drive recruiting efforts to add more top talent to the team.
- Technical strength: You’ll partner closely with Engineering teams working with a wide variety of technologies, including Machine Learning.
- Customer centricity: You’ll work with both external and internal customers, and must deeply understand their needs and requirements.
- A driver of results: Ultimately, you’ll need to produce significant, measurable results against some of the company’s key goals.
