## Job description

### About Pinterest:

Millions of people around the world come to our platform to find creative ideas, dream about new possibilities and plan for memories that will last a lifetime. At Pinterest, we’re on a mission to bring everyone the inspiration to create a life they love, and that starts with the people behind the product.

Discover a career where you ignite innovation for millions, transform passion into growth opportunities, celebrate each other’s unique experiences and embrace the flexibility to do your best work. Creating a career you love? It’s Possible.

At Pinterest, AI isn't just a feature, it's a powerful partner that augments our creativity and amplifies our impact, and we’re looking for candidates who are excited to be a part of that. To get a complete picture of your experience and abilities, we’ll explore your foundational skills and how you collaborate with AI.

Through our interview process, what matters most is that you can always explain your approach, showing us not just what you know, but how you think. You can read more about our AI interview philosophy and how we use AI in our recruiting process here.

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and thoughtful team player to join our Ads Policy team as a Lead Product Policy Manager. You’ll lead policy for new monetization products and features as well as other new ad formats on Pinterest. You’ll also lead policy for ad targeting and brand safety at Pinterest, making sure Pinners and advertisers feel safe, that we comply with relevant laws and regulations, and that we stay at the forefront of the industry in these important areas.

### What you’ll do:

- Collaborate with your Policy teammates, cross-functional partners, executives and outside experts to develop global ad targeting, brand safety and monetization policies

- Continuously evaluate and iterate on policy approaches

- Partner with our Trust & Safety, Product, Sales and Engineering teams to provide policy guidance and scale our policy enforcement globally

- Leverage AI-powered tools and machine learning systems to scale policy enforcement, detect policy-violating content, and assess risks

- Mentor teammates and partner with the Senior Manager to set strategy for the team, including how to prioritize competing demands for our time and expertise

- Facilitate and productively engage in complex policy discussions, including respectfully challenging team members and xfn partners, using contrarian techniques to strengthen policy analysis, and incorporating new and diverse viewpoints

### What we’re looking for:

- Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in a relevant field such as policy or law, or equivalent experience.

- Minimum 7 years of experience in trust & safety, ad or monetization policy development; brand safety or ad targeting experience a plus

- Experience working with or alongside AI/ML systems — particularly in the context of content moderation, trust & safety, or policy enforcement.

- Experience using AI-assisted tools (e.g. policy drafting aids, data analysis tools) to increase the quality and speed of your work and working with revenue teams and understanding business metrics/KPIs.

- Excellent judgment and critical thinking skills: you can assess numerous inputs, weigh tradeoffs, manage ambiguity, ask thought-provoking questions, and make difficult decisions.

- A stellar communicator who acts autonomously, is comfortable crafting complex written communication and has strong verbal communication. Can engage effectively with stakeholders from junior to executive levels.

- Experience handling sensitive escalations with ability to independently analyze data from multiple sources to draw appropriate conclusions and make suitable recommendations.

- A detail-oriented leader who can lead and manage multiple complex policy projects and help set strategy

- A skilled relationship builder who maintains collaborative partnerships within your team, across the company, and with outside audiences. Listens to multiple perspectives, acts as a team player and voices different perspectives respectfully.

- Demonstrated experience working with cross-functional teams, such as Product, Operations, Legal, Sales, Public Policy and Comms.

### Relocation Statement:

- This position is not eligible for relocation assistance. Visit our PinFlex page to learn more about our working model.

### In-Office Requirement Statement:

- 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

Pinterest is an equal opportunity employer and makes employment decisions on the basis of merit. We want to have the best qualified people in every job.
