Director TPM, InfraGov

Summary

Pinterest’s Infrastructure Governance (InfraGov) team ensures our infrastructure is cost-efficient and aligned to company priorities. This Director of Technical Program Management role owns the infrastructure budget operating system—the strategy, mechanisms, and executive partnerships that enable Pinterest to fund innovation while executing to budget and margin targets. You will lead a team of TPMs who run key governance programs spanning spend control, evergreen efficiency, capacity management, and cloud vendor performance, partnering closely with senior leaders across Finance, Engineering, and Product. Success requires a leader who can build durable decision frameworks, create transparency through metrics and tooling, and drive balanced trade-offs across a complex portfolio. This is a high-visibility role at the intersection of technology strategy and business outcomes, with direct impact on how Pinterest scales.

What You’ll Do

• Define the multi-year strategy and operating model for infrastructure cost governance/ FinOps at Pinterest
• Own annual planning, quarterly re-forecasting, variance management, and execute-to-budget mechanisms for infrastructure investment
• Lead a team of TPMs and FinOps practitioners driving programs across spend transparency, efficiency, capacity planning, and vendor performance
• Build source-of-truth reporting, dashboards, and business reviews that make infrastructure cost, usage, and performance visible and actionable
• Partner with Finance, Engineering, Product, and Procurement leaders to drive high-quality trade-offs across innovation, reliability, cost, and growth
• Establish scalable guardrails, escalation paths, and accountability models that help teams move quickly while maintaining financial discipline
• Sponsor cloud vendor strategy and performance management in partnership with engineering and finance stakeholders
• Coach and develop senior leaders on the team while raising the bar on operational excellence, decision quality, and inclusive leadership.
• Use GenAI as the default operating model for EP PgM execution—producing AI-assisted first drafts of core program artifacts, modernizing high-toil workflows into AI-first mechanisms (e.g., intake triage, status synthesis, action/decision extraction, risk & dependency tracking), and synthesizing signals to proactively surface risks, decision/trade-offs, and escalation paths.
• Prototype solutions to augment decisions through data (e.g. dashboards, data analysis) or simplify processes (e.g. process and workflow helpers, or internal tools) using AI coding assistants.
