Staff Product Manager, Retail Media & Audiences

About the role

Millions of people around the world come to Pinterest to find creative ideas, dream about new possibilities, and plan for memories that will last a lifetime.

The company offers a career where you ignite innovation for millions, transform passion into growth opportunities, celebrate unique experiences, and embrace flexibility.

At Pinterest, AI is a powerful partner that augments creativity and amplifies impact. The interview process explores foundational skills and collaboration with AI, emphasizing the ability to explain your approach — showing not just what you know, but how you think.

Billions of dollars flow through Retail Media Networks (RMNs) onto advertising platforms like Pinterest every year, but the experience can be sub-par for the RMN, the brand advertiser, and Pinterest. RMN fees are hidden, campaign setup and management is manual and slow, and Pinterest gets left out of most of the relationship. Pinterest Media Network Connect (PMNC) is Pinterest's solution, offering complete transparency and self-service capabilities. Pinterest was the first to build this style of solution, and it is now being copied by larger advertising platforms.

Beyond changing the retail media network business, Pinterest aims to support a fully transparent, fully self-service audience marketplace where anyone can transact with anyone else to empower campaigns with audiences that enhance performance and reach. As the lead for PMNC and the audience marketplace, you will grow RMN offerings and build the audience marketplace business from the ground up. This involves collaborating with a dynamic, motivated, expert cross-functional team to build brand-new systems, develop partner relationships, automate processes, and champion solutions internally. Success depends on leading the company through significant process changes, having deep empathy for partners and advertisers, and partnering with many stakeholders internally and externally.

Responsibilities

• Grow and lead the PMNC business to a billion+ dollars of revenue.
• Build a new audience marketplace offering from scratch into an industry-leading solution.
• Lead product vision, strategy, technical development, and execution for PMNC and the audience marketplace business.
• Develop a deep understanding of the business's workflows and automate what will make the business run better and faster.
• Design and build billing user interfaces — both internal and external — for delightful experiences.
• Translate insights into clear product requirements and collaborate with engineering, design, data analytics, marketing, research, and other product teams to drive measurable impact.
• Communicate strategy internally to ensure alignment, secure resources, and champion the roadmap's vision.
• Leverage AI to turbo-charge your own work, from writing to design to prototyping, and more.

Requirements

• Experience with retail media network solutions; audience marketplace experience is a big plus.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder alignment skills.
• Proven ability to shepherd large cross-functional teams in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
• Strong analytical mindset, using data to guide decisions and optimize workflows.
• Extreme attention to detail and meticulous design sense.
• Track record of rapidly delivering user-focused solutions in a cross-functional setting.
• Location around San Francisco, New York City, or Palo Alto.
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
