Job description

The Programmatic Ads team at Pinterest builds the foundation for scalable and automated advertising through integrations with top demand-side platforms (DSPs), supply-side platforms (SSPs), and other partners. We design and deliver programmatic solutions that respect the user's discovery experience while maximizing value for advertisers. As digital advertising rapidly evolves, we're on a mission to set Pinterest apart through powerful, transparent, and measurable programmatic ad offerings.

We are seeking an experienced product leader to drive the next phase of growth in programmatic advertising at Pinterest.

As Staff Product Manager, Programmatic Ads, you will define, build, and scale our suite of programmatic advertising products and integrations. You'll play a pivotal role in driving the product vision, roadmap, and cross-functional execution to enable advertisers and partners to seamlessly transact across Pinterest's rapidly growing ad marketplace.

What you'll do:

  • Collaborate with product leadership to help define and execute the roadmap for Pinterest's programmatic ad offerings, ensuring alignment with business goals and advertiser needs.
  • Work closely with engineering, sales, partnerships, ad operations, data science, and design to build products that drive adoption, performance, and satisfaction among advertisers.
  • Prioritize product initiatives, balancing immediate customer needs with longer-term scalability and automation opportunities.
  • Develop a strong understanding of the programmatic ad ecosystem (including DSPs, SSPs, auction mechanics, and deal types) to inform product decisions and ensure competitive differentiation.
  • Deliver features and tools that provide actionable insights, streamlined workflows, and effective reporting for programmatic buyers and Pinterest's internal teams.
  • Leverage data and user feedback to inform product prioritization, track success metrics, and recommend enhancements
  • Partner with designers to create intuitive interfaces, dashboards, and reporting tools for programmatic workflows.
  • Serve as a key resource on programmatic ad products within the team and across partner functions.

What we're looking for: 

  • 5+ years of Product Management experience, with a demonstrated record of launching and improving advertising or ad tech products, ideally in programmatic or related spaces.
  • Experience building products that use data and insights to support business users and drive measurable growth.
  • Practical knowledge of programmatic ad technology (bid requests/responses, auction mechanics, deal types such as PMP, PG, Open Auction).
  • Familiarity with building workflow or reporting tools for advertisers, agencies or internal operations teams.
  • Experience partnering with DSPs, SSPs, agencies, or other third-party ad platforms.
  • Strong analytical, communication, and collaboration skills, with a data-driven approach to delivering business impact.
  • Comfort working with cross-functional teams in a fast-moving environment.
  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, such as Computer Science, or equivalent practical 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.

Relocation Requirement Statement:

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