Pinterest's Marketing, Communications and Creative organization runs a complex portfolio: flagship marketing events, brand campaigns and international activations that carry Pinterest's story to the world. We're looking for a Director, Marketing Project and Program Management bring the operational and technical infrastructure that makes all of it possible.

This role leads in two capacities: 1) The PMO team provides the project and program backbone: governance, accountability systems and portfolio visibility across marketing programs. 2) The PMO technology function builds and owns the AI-powered tooling that modern project management runs on, from planning and forecasting to scheduling, reporting and brief generation. You'll lead a lean, high-leverage team and take real ownership of both.

• Build and lead the Marketing PMO Team

• Mature the PMO into a full governance function: Building on the project and program management foundation already in place, operationalize the intake process, portfolio taxonomy, status rhythms and escalation protocols that bring Pinterest's full marketing project portfolio under one consistent operating system, covering flagship events, annual initiatives, international campaigns and regional activations. Design a hybrid methodology that applies agile principles where appropriate and long-cycle project management where required.

• Govern the marketing events portfolio: Own the project management infrastructure for Pinterest's marketing events. Embed project managers as independent trackers and escalation owners, not project stakeholders. Your team ensures milestones hold, risks surface early and blockers are cleared, while marketers and event leads own the creative and strategic work.

• Own governance, not delivery: Position the PMO as a neutral party. Marketers own the work; the PMO owns the system that keeps it moving. Build a culture where rigor is a service, not a constraint.

• Lead portfolio prioritization with business management: Model capacity against demand and equip VP and C-suite sponsors with the analysis needed for clear resource decisions. Operate as a credible planning partner to Finance, serving as a neutral lens on portfolio health and trade-offs.

• Build and develop the team: Hire project managers who thrive as independent thinkers and escalators. Coach on stakeholder management and clear recommendations under ambiguity. Set the performance standard by defining the metrics, benchmarks and improvement
