Role
Who you are
- Demonstrated success in product management or related experience at fast-growing companies
- Strong product sense and ability to collaborate and get buy in from stakeholders while setting a longer term vision
- Proven ability to lead in ambiguous environments, aligning across functions, teams, and orgs to deliver on time in a highly collaborative environment
- Strong analytical skills to define product strategy and drive decision making, making appropriate trade-offs based on data analysis and qualitative feedback from Pinners
- Previous experience in advertising, social media, and/or ecommerce is a plus but not required

What the job involves
- 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 such, we are positioned to succeed in Shopping in a differentiated way
- As a platform, we are uniquely positioned at the intersection of search, social and commerce
- The full-funnel experience across homefeed, 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
- Develop and execute a cohesive Shopping strategy and roadmap in close partnership with Executive, Product, Engineering, Design and other cross-functional stakeholders
- Build innovative new shopping features that tap into the unique user intent on Pinterest. You’ll create products that help users find inspiration, browse products and ultimately find the item they want to buy
- Partner closely with a wide range of disciplines including engineering, data science, design, research, marketing, legal, strategy, and other product managers to define, measure, and drive execution
- Mentor and build capability in your peer product managers within Shopping
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.
