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.
