About the job

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 We're Looking For

  • 2–4 years of program or project management experience (or equivalent), ideally touching infrastructure, platform, or cloud environments.
  • Working knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS or similar) — compute, storage, and basic usage/cost concepts.
  • Interest in, and some exposure to, capacity management and infrastructure efficiency (right-sizing, utilization, waste reduction); deep FinOps expertise is not required.
  • Strong organizational and execution skills: able to track a program's moving pieces, follow up, and keep things on schedule.
  • Clear written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting status and asks to engineering partners.
  • Collaborative and coachable — works well with engineers and more senior TPMs, seeks input, and takes feedback well.
  • Experience at a large-scale consumer tech or infrastructure organization is a plus.
  • AI-first execution mindset: demonstrated ability to use GenAI to accelerate planning, program operations, and stakeholder communications—starting with AI drafts and applying strong judgment to validate, refine, and drive decisions.
  • Workflow design, AI fluency, data & insights orientation: experience turning repeatable program work into durable, low-toil mechanisms and improving decision-making by using GenAI (e.g., strong prompting, vibe coding lightweight scripts/tools, dashboards, data analysis and leveraging agents where appropriate).
  • Safety-by-design AI fluency: experience operating within AI governance expectations (risk assessment, data handling, model/output validation, auditability/traceability) and proactively identifying where AI use is not appropriate or requires additional controls.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Direct exposure to a FinOps, cost management, or capacity-focused function (nice-to-have, not required).
  • Familiarity with dashboarding/BI tools (SuperSet, Tableau, Grafana, or similar).
  • Basic SQL or scripting skills to pull and interpret usage data.
  • Exposure to distributed systems, ML/AI infrastructure, or large-scale compute environments is a plus.
  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as Computer Science, or equivalent experience.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary range: $103,965—$214,044 USD. The position is also eligible for equity. Final salary is based on a number of factors including location, travel, relevant prior experience, or particular skills and expertise.
