About The Position

Pinterest is a platform where millions of people find creative ideas, dream about new possibilities, and plan for memories. Our mission is to bring everyone the inspiration to create a life they love. We are looking for candidates excited to be a part of our AI-driven approach, where AI is a powerful partner augmenting creativity and amplifying impact. The Content-to-Discovery Platform team is responsible for the entire process of transforming raw content into discoverable supply for our users. As a Staff Product Manager on this team, you will define the strategy for four key areas: acquiring content and catalog data, processing and enriching content for freshness, indexing for shopping and search, and reliable retrieval and serving of content at scale. You will collaborate with engineering, data science, and product leaders across content, shopping, and search to ensure the right supply is acquired, kept fresh and accurate, indexed for relevance, and served to users reliably across markets.

Requirements

• 10+ years in product management or technical leadership, with a record of building and launching content, catalog, or commerce-supply platforms and infrastructure at scale, not solely consumer features.
• Direct experience owning one or more of: content/catalog acquisition and onboarding, data enrichment and freshness pipelines, search or shopping indexing, or low-latency retrieval/serving systems.
• Track record of improving data quality, freshness, or relevance metrics across a large, multi-stage pipeline.
• Strong technical judgment; able to go deep with engineers on tradeoffs across ingestion, indexing, and serving architecture.
• Demonstrated success leading large, cross-functional initiatives spanning multiple teams and systems.
• Analytical and strategic mindset; comfortable making high-accountability decisions and defining metrics that prove impact.
• Exceptional communication and influence at all levels, from individual engineers to senior executives.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice To Haves

• Advanced degrees a plus.

Responsibilities

• Set and drive a multi-year strategy for the end-to-end content-to-discovery flywheel across acquisition, processing, indexing, and retrieval/serving.
• Own the roadmap for the infrastructure supporting content, scraping, and catalog onboarding, ensuring the right supply enters the system by category and domain.
• Drive the extraction, processing, metadata enrichment, and freshness lifecycle, keeping content and catalog data current and trustworthy.
• Own indexing across Shopping and Search.
• Own retrieval and serving with an understanding of latency, performance signals, and inventory.
• Define how the org measures freshness and reliability, and use that data to prioritize investment and demonstrate impact.
• Partner across content, shopping, search, and infrastructure teams, act as the spokesperson for the platform, and mentor peer PMs (not a people-management role).
