Who you are

  • 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

  • At Pinterest, Trust & Safety is not just checking a box; it is a critical part of our value prop to users and to advertisers
  • Users choose to share their dreams with Pinterest because we make them feel safe and supported; Advertisers choose to spend their dollars because they know it’s a safe space for their brands
  • We’re looking for an experienced, strategic Trust & Safety leader to protect against harmful content on Pinterest. And you’ll do this at the scale of one of the world’s largest user generated content platforms

Our take

Inspiration and ideas can pop into your head at any time, and with the growth of social media and networking, sharing these interests and gaining exposure has never been easier. Pinterest exists to display these moments visually, as a kind of digital pinboard allowing users to save and share digital images which have inspired them.

Pinterest's emphasis on visual discovery has differentiated it from competitors and created a more positive and fulfilling experience for its users. Pinterest in many ways provides a respite from the ceaseless negativity that plagues social media such as Facebook and Twitter, and this is perhaps responsible for its userbase expanding to 450 million users in 2022, driven by uptake mostly outside of North America.

Pinterest has not been immune to woes affecting the global tech sector and made about 5% of its workforce redundant at the end of 2022 and the start of 2023. Having restructured to face a challenging climate, it is well-positioned to resume its growth, which has increased consistently year on year. Its immediate goals are to continue to grow its user base and expand the uptake of its short video product, which it aims to monetize.
