About The Position

As a Lead Creative Producer on Pinterest’s House of Creative team, you will lead end-to-end creative production for complex, high-impact marketing programs across multiple channels and workstreams. The role combines hands-on production execution with in-house cross-functional leadership, partnering with Creative, Marketing, Product, Comms, Media, Legal, Finance, and external production partners to move work from early concept through final delivery. You will create clarity around how work gets made by establishing shared plans, keeping milestones and dependencies visible, aligning decision-makers, surfacing risks and tradeoffs early, and ensuring cross-functional teams understand what is happening, changing, and needed from them. The role also involves using AI thoughtfully to support appropriate production workflows while retaining critical judgment, accuracy, confidentiality, and ownership of final outcomes, as well as mentoring producers and advancing production practices across House of Creative. The role requires in-office collaboration 1–2 times per week and must be based within commuting distance of Pinterest’s Los Angeles office. It is not eligible for relocation assistance.

Robust hands-on production experience across large, multi-channel campaigns, with deep knowledge of film/video production and strong fluency across photography, social, digital, experiential, and other integrated formats.
Demonstrated success operating within, or deeply embedded with, complex in-house creative and marketing organizations.
Experience leading highly cross-functional programs and creating alignment across teams with different goals, timelines, and decision-makers.
Exceptional communication and stakeholder-management skills, including proactively keeping teams aligned on schedules, milestones, dependencies, changes, and decisions.
Strong production judgment and ability to independently manage budgets, scopes, resources, vendors, timelines, and risk.
