Group Product Manager I, Connections

About Pinterest:

Millions of people around the world come to our platform to find creative ideas, dream about new possibilities and plan for memories that will last a lifetime. At Pinterest, we’re on a mission to bring everyone the inspiration to create a life they love, and that starts with the people behind the product.

Discover a career where you ignite innovation for millions, transform passion into growth opportunities, celebrate each other’s unique experiences and embrace the way you work. Creating a career you love? It’s Possible.

At Pinterest, AI isn't just a feature, it's a powerful partner that augments our creativity and amplifies our impact, and we’re looking for candidates who are excited to be a part of that. To get a complete picture of your experience and abilities, we’ll explore your foundational skills and how you collaborate with AI.

Through our interview process, what matters most is that you can always explain your approach, showing us not just what you know, but how you think.

What you’ll do:

• Own the end‑to‑end Connections strategy and roadmap, leading the core experiences and systems that help Pinners connect with people and communities they trust, and translating that into measurable product impact.
• Shape how social shows up on Pinterest by making connection experiences feel distinctly “Pinterest”: safe, personal, low‑pressure, and grounded in shared interests rather than self‑promotion.
• Create cohesive cross‑surface experiences by partnering with other Core product teams, so our connection features are consistent, useful, and help Pinners stay in the loop without feeling overwhelmed.
• Drive alignment across a broad product area by bringing together senior leaders and cross‑functional partners (Engineering, Data Science, Design, Product Marketing, Policy, Research, and others) around a clear strategy, success measures, and execution plan for Connections, and by enabling teams to build on shared components and patterns.
• Lead, develop, and inspire a team of Product Managers by managing and growing PMs working on everything from underlying systems to consumer-facing social features, setting clear priorities, providing coaching and feedback, and fostering a culture of product craft, experimentation, and accountability to impact.
• Champion safety, wellbeing, and trust by partnering with Policy, Trust & Safety, and Wellbeing to ensure connection experiences uphold Pinterest’s values, and by supporting guardrails and controls that let Pinners connect on their own terms and manage how they’re discovered, contacted, and notified.
• Make Connections insight‑driven by defining how you’ll assess the health and impact of connection experiences with Data Science, and using quantitative and qualitative insights to guide prioritization, refine the roadmap, and communicate progress.
• Represent Connections across Pinterest by serving as a senior product leader and primary point of contact for the area, aligning the roadmap with company priorities, articulating the role of connections in Pinner value.
