Pinterest's Consumer Brand team is looking for a Strategy & Operations Lead to join our S&O Strategic Projects and Programs (SPP) team. You'll serve as the embedded operational partner for the Consumer Brand function, initiating and owning its most critical cross-functional strategic projects, designing and implementing planning cadences and leading governance and program delivery across the department. You'll work directly with senior marketing leadership to identify problems, frame decisions and make the function's highest-priority work land across brand campaigns, brand partnerships and brand health strategy.

• Initiate and own Consumer Brand's most critical cross-functional strategic projects end-to-end: identifying the right problems to solve, framing decisions, aligning stakeholders and driving follow-through across brand campaign strategy, brand partnerships, brand architecture and measurement evolution

• Design, integrate and implement the Consumer Brand function's planning cadences (MBRs, QBRs, annual and campaign planning cycles): build inputs, facilitate sessions and synthesize outcomes into clear decisions and investment forecasts for headcount and budget

• Lead governance and program delivery across multiple functions within Consumer Brand, serving as the single source of truth for strategic context, headcount status and planning rationale

• Monitor metrics and milestones across interconnected initiatives and hold the working team accountable for outcomes, surfacing priority conflicts before they become escalations

• Use AI to accelerate synthesis, analysis and planning work by distilling brand research inputs, drafting decision frameworks and building planning materials faster, while maintaining judgment and accountability over final deliverables

• Partner with Integrated Marketing, Brand Partnerships, Brand Research, Growth Marketing and XFN teams (Product, Sales, Finance) to align on function priorities and move complex initiatives forward

• Experience collaborating with creative teams.

• 8+ years of experience in strategy, operations or a related field, with a track record of initiating and owning highly complex, cross-functional work independently.

• Experience working within or closely alongside a brand marketing or consumer marketing organization. You understand
