Pinterest is seeking a seasoned IT Program Manager to help scale and modernize how we manage technology programs across the organization.

  • Enable & Support Product Owners:
    Build and maintain lightweight frameworks that empower Product Owners to own and drive their programs—offering guidance and best practices without heavy-handed oversight
  • Support Application Rationalization:Partner with Product Owners and business stakeholders to identify, document, and prioritize opportunities to consolidate, optimize, or sunset existing applications.
  • Process Ownership with a Service Mindset:Own continuous improvement for key IT processes, soliciting feedback and collaborating with teams to simplify and standardize ways of working.
  • Quantitative Analysis & Reporting:Conduct basic quantitative analyses (e.g., preparing dashboards, charts, or summary metrics) to inform decision making and highlight trends or risks.

What we’re looking for:

  • Experience as an IT Analyst, Project Manager, or Program Manager in a technology-focused environment.
  • Strong organizational and process management skills.
  • Comfortable with basic data analysis; able to interpret and visualize IT portfolio data.
  • Skilled at building relationships and communicating effectively across technical and business teams.
  • Service-oriented: enjoys enabling others to take ownership and succeed.
  • Adaptable, eager to proactively identify and solve problems.
  • Bonus: Experience with application portfolio management, rationalization programs, or capacity planning.
  • Bachelors degree in a relevant field, or equivalent experience.
