- Develop and execute a cohesive Search strategy and roadmap in close partnership with Executive, Product, Engineering, Design and other cross-functional stakeholders.
- Build innovative new Search features that tap into the unique user intent on Pinterest. You’ll create products that help users find inspiration, browse products and ultimately find the item they want to buy.
- Investigate and hypothesize opportunities to improve the relevance of search results on Pinterest.
- Partner closely with a wide range of disciplines including engineering, data science, design, research, marketing, legal, strategy, and other product managers to define, measure, and drive execution.
What we’re looking for:
- Strong product sense: Strong product sense and ability to collaborate and get buy-in from stakeholders while setting a longer term vision.
- Experience building AI/ML products: Demonstrated success in product management or related experience at fast-growing companies particularly working on AI/ML based products.
- Bring structure to ambiguity: Proven ability to lead in ambiguous environments, aligning across functions, teams, and orgs to deliver on time in a highly collaborative environment.
- Expert at weaving together data, user feedback, and intuition: Strong analytical skills to define product strategy and drive decision making, making appropriate trade-offs based on data analysis and qualitative feedback from Pinners.
- Previous experience in search is a plus but not required.
- Technical strength: You’ll partner closely with Engineering teams working with a wide variety of technologies, including Machine Learning.
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as computer science or equivalent experience.

Safe Remote Job Search Tips
Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
