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.

What you’ll do:

• Own end-to-end program delivery for Ads Measurement initiatives: Drive planning → execution → launch for complex, cross-org measurement programs (e.g., incrementality improvements, measurement integrations), with clear goals, milestones, and success metrics aligned to Monetization outcomes and broader company OKRs.
• Drive clarity through ambiguity in a complex technical domain: Convert vague problem statements into crisp program charters, decision points, and executable roadmaps; proactively identify gaps (requirements, ownership, resourcing, data readiness) and close them.
• Influence technical direction and tradeoffs with strong technical judgment: Facilitate architecture/design alignment, surface core technical uncertainties early, and drive principled tradeoff decisions (accuracy vs. latency, experimentation rigor vs. speed, privacy constraints vs. measurement granularity).
• Execute at both breadth and depth. At breadth by understanding the big picture, and at depth by being comfortable driving nitty gritty details with multiple teams
• Be a thought leader to your XFN stakeholders by influencing product roadmap during the annual & quarterly planning. Work cross functionally with engineering, product, design, data analytics, Sales, Business Development, Research, and product marketing to turn ambiguous opportunities into actionable outcomes
• Operate at Staff (IC16) scope and leadership altitude: Own the success of a strategic, complex program spanning multiple orgs; manage ambiguity across leadership levels; communicate program state, risks, and proposals (including tradeoffs) clearly to senior audiences (VP/Estaff/PLT as needed).
• Build durable program mechanisms and best practices: Create repeatable operating rhythms (intake, prioritization, RAID, decision logs, launch criteria, post-launch learning loops), and scale execution through others (including other T/PgMs and functional leaders).
• Use GenAI as the default operating model for EP PgM execution—producing AI-assisted first drafts of core program artifa
