The Ads & Monetization organization sits at the heart of Pinterest’s business, where machine learning, AI, creatives, attribution, reach, and marketplace come together to create value for advertisers and relevant, inspiring experiences for Pinners. Pinterest is at an inflection point. Hundreds of millions of users come to the platform with active commercial intent — making Pinterest uniquely positioned to influence the full purchase journey from inspiration to action.

We are building a path of non-linear growth with emerging surfaces, expanding international markets, and foundational investments in relevance, advertiser return on ads spend, measurement, and creative quality. Unlocking that path requires disciplined, technically sophisticated execution across a collaborative, multi-team environment spanning technology, strategy, go-to-market and research. As a Sr.

Staff Technical Program Manager in Ads, you will use your technical depth and business judgment to lead company-level programs that turn these opportunities into measurable reality. You will help shape the execution strategy, accountability frameworks, and operating models that determine how Pinterest scales its advertising business in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving market. This is one of the most senior individual contributor TPM roles in the Monetization organization, with direct impact on multiple company OKRs.

What You’Ll Do

: Lead company-level programs within Ads & Monetization — including areas such as Auction & Marketplace, Measurement & Attribution, Formats, and new surfaces — with direct impact on multiple company OKRs. Identify opportunities to drive long-term business innovation and differentiation within Ads; anticipate business, technical, and regulatory issues that impact Pinterest’s monetization strategy. Influence at the VP level: provide strategic input to leadership decision-making, drive alignment across orgs, and lead through technical credibility and communication — not through a management hierarchy.

Drive alignment across Product, Engineering, Data Science, Design, and Go-to-Market teams to deliver complex, vague, and strategically important Ads programs. Own the metrics and accountability framework for your programs: connect delivery, performance, experimentation, and measurement signals into a clear source of truth for what shipped, what moved the metrics, and why. Bring structure and decision velocity to ambiguous, high-stakes work by establishing decision frameworks, surfacing tradeoffs, managing dependencies, and increasing alignment speed across executive and cross-functional teams.

Exercise technical judgment equivalent to an L16 SWE: evaluate complex technical approaches, anticipate failure modes, sequence risky elements to fail fast, and guide teams in solving complex technical challenges across orgs.
