About Pinterest

Pinterest is a visual discovery company that helps millions of people find inspiration and take action on the things they care about. Within EPD, the Security team plays a critical role in enabling that experience safely and reliably—protecting users, safeguarding the business, and ensuring the company can move quickly with the right controls in place. What is especially exciting about this team is the combination of mission and leverage: the work touches core platform health, trust, abuse prevention, resilience, compliance, and internal engineering rigor. For a Staff TPM, this creates an unusually high-impact seat at the table to help shape how Security plans, prioritizes, and executes across Product and Engineering, while partnering closely with Platforms, Trust & Safety, and Growth on some of the company’s most consequential technical and operational problems.

Staff Technical Program Manager, Security

This role is within the Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD) Compliance Technical Program Management team which delivers critical & strategic technical compliance outcomes by directing and scaling engineering effort across organizational and functional boundaries. The programs they lead have most or all of these characteristics:

• Strategic importance to Pinterest

• Distributed ownership

• Complexity

• Critical technical area or platform

The ideal candidate is an experienced Staff-level Technical Program Manager with deep security domain fluency and strong technical judgment, who excels at strategically leading complex, cross-functional programs and influencing senior leadership. This person must also embrace an AI-first execution mindset, leveraging GenAI to streamline program operations while ensuring compliance and safety-by-design.

What you’ll do:

• Lead strategic Security programs that are complex, ambiguous, and multi-org in nature, with direct ownership of execution across planning, dependency management, decision-making, communications, and outcomes.

• Partner with Security leadership and Engineering Leads to run annual strategy planning, translate priorities into an executable roadmap, and define success metrics and leadership reporting.

• Drive program development, coordination, and communications across Security and key partners, with Product and Engineering as core strategic partners and close collaboration with Platforms, Trust & Safety, and Growth.

• Own the operating cadence for high-priority security initiatives, including clear milestones, governance, risk management, executive updates, and escalation paths.

• Help teams deliver improvements across Pinterest systems and processes in areas such as vulnerability management, business continuity, disaster recovery, and separation of development/production management.

• Define and improve mechanisms for program health, status reporting, and cross-functional accountability so leadership has a reliable view of progress, risk, and impact.

• Use GenAI as the default operating model for EP PgM execution—producing AI-assisted first drafts of core program artifacts, modernizing high-toil workflows into AI-first mechanisms (e.g., intake triage, status synthesis, action/decision extraction, risk & dependency tracking), and synthesizing signals to proactively surface risks, decision/trade-offs, and escalation paths.

• Follow Pinterest AI guidance for risk, governance, and safety-by-design: appropriately handle sensitive data, validate AI-generated outputs, document assumptions/limits, and ensure AI-assisted workflows meet applicable policy/compliance expectations before broad adoption.

What we’re looking for:

• 10+ years of technical program management or closely related experience leading large-scale technical programs across multiple teams and stakeholders.

• 5+ years of information security, risk and/or compliance experience

• 5+ years of big data and/or cloud experience

• Proven success leading strategic, cross-functional programs in security, infrastructure, platform, or other technically complex domains.

• Demonstrated ability to operate at Staff level: owning ambiguous, company-relevant programs; shaping roadmaps and operating mechanisms; influencing senior leaders; and delivering measurable outcomes.

• Strong technical fluency and judgment, with the ability to understand system tradeoffs, identify technical risks early, and partner effectively with engineering leaders on complex decisions.

• Experience building metrics, health frameworks, and executive reporting that connect program execution to business and organizational outcomes.

• Strong track record of driving alignment and execution across Product and Engineering, with additional partnership across Platforms, Trust & Safety, Growth, and related cross-functional teams.

• Experience in one or more of the following areas is strongly preferred: security programs, abuse/anti-automation, fraud or invalid traffic, account security, PCI/compliance, vulnerability management, business continuity, disaster recovery, or access/control governance.

• AI-first execution mindset: demonstrated ability to use GenAI to accelerate planning, program operations, and stakeholder communications—starting with AI drafts and applying strong judgment to validate, refine, and drive decisions.

• Workflow design, AI fluency, data & insights orientation: experience turning repeatable program work into durable, low-toil mechanisms and improving decision-making by using GenAI (e.g., strong prompting, vibe coding lightweight scripts/tools, dashboards, data analysis and leveraging agents where appropriate)

• Safety-by-design AI fluency: experience operating within AI governance expectations (risk assessment, data handling, model/output validation, auditability/traceability) and proactively identifying where AI use is not appropriate or requires additional controls.

• B.S Degree in a technical field or equivalent work experience.

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.

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