Sr. Technical Program Manager, Future of Curation 

Pinterest Technical Program Managers deliver critical & strategic outcomes by directing and scaling engineering effort across organizational and functional boundaries.

In this role, you’ll drive revisitation - empowering users to make progress in their inspiration → action journeys by resurfacing their boards and saves, helping them pick up where they left off & building on previously saved ideas to inspire new opportunities. You’ll partner with teams across the company, and think strategically about opportunities to drive visitation, engagement, retention & revenue across surfaces.

This is a critical pillar of our Curation strategy, and an opportunity to drive meaningful top-line impact for Pinners and Pinterest.

Pinterest is looking for an experienced and motivated Sr. Technical Program Manager to drive the future of Curation. Questions you’ll have to tackle in partnership with Engineering, Product, and Design include: 1/ How might we evolve Boards to accelerate Pinners’ inspiration journeys so they can find what they’re looking for faster? 2/ How might we build better signals and models specific to helping Pinners in their Curation journeys? 3/ What is the next horizon for Boards?

Pinners love Pinterest because it provides them a way to express themselves through Curation, but there is so much untapped potential in the Curation ecosystem. This role plays a critical part in both shaping Pinterest’s Curation strategy and also driving meaningful top-line impact for Pinners and Pinterest.
