The Activation Foundation team tackles the biggest opportunity to Pinterest’s growth - helping new and low engaged users experience the magic of Pinterest’s personalized recommendations. This team operates horizontally to improve the experience of underserved users by creating and driving adoption of new user signals, addressing bias and gaps in our core recommendation systems, and identifying opportunities for innovation within our technical foundations.
What you’ll do:
- Set our vision, strategy, and roadmap for re-engaging and improving how hundreds of millions of Pinners get content recommendations each month by leveraging Pinterest’s existing recommendation systems as well as innovative new technologies
- Support your team in understanding user pain points and define a prioritized roadmap to execute on your plans
- Work cross-functionally with machine learning engineers, data science, legal, and operations to support relevance improvements for underserved users
- Partner with the rest of our Pinner experience and relevance teams to extend our core value prop in engaging content loops for Pinners
- Communicate your strategy upward and outward internally to ensure you have the support you need to be successful
What we’re looking for:
- 5+ years product management or related experience
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to drive alignment among multiple stakeholders
- Technical background or relevant machine learning experience that lets you dive deep into data and complex technical problems
- Ability to articulate complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences in written and verbal communication
- Inquisitiveness to learn new domains and systematically work through ambiguity and competing concerns with your team
- Ability to manage and prioritize within a portfolio of projects that build on each other to create a coherent system
- A strong growth mindset and ability to listen to and action upon feedback
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as Computer Science, or equivalent experience
We let the type of work you do guide the collaboration style. That means we're not always working in an office, but we continue to gather for key moments of collaboration and connection. This role will need to be in the office for in-person collaboration 1-2 times/quarter and therefore can be situated anywhere in the country.
