Job description

Staff Technical Program Manager, Monetization Data Science

Explicitly calls out vibe coding and AI coding assistants—uses GenAI as the default operating model for prototyping, automation, and program artifacts.

About the Role

Lead cross-functional execution for Monetization Data Science at Pinterest, driving a data-driven monetization engine by unifying metrics, productionalizing data pipelines, enabling instrumentation, and democratizing analytics. Use GenAI and AI-assisted tooling (including vibe coding) to automate workflows, prototype solutions, and accelerate program delivery.

Job Description

Role

Staff Technical Program Manager (TPM) for Monetization Data Science at Pinterest. You will lead multi-team technical programs to build a data-driven monetization engine: unify fragmented data into a trusted single source of truth (SSOT), create an input-metrics funnel, enable advanced segmentation, and democratize analytics across Monetization.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the Monetization DS execution roadmap across four strategic pillars (SSOT + funnel, segmentation, input-metrics cadence, democratized analytics) with milestones and success measures.
• Productionalize DS strategy by coordinating Platforms/Data Engineering, Monetization Engineering, and Data Science to build core tables, governance, reliability, and scale pipelines beyond DS-owned code.
• Partner with Engineering to enable instrumentation and observability (especially delivery/funnel instrumentation) so full-funnel survivability can be analyzed reliably.
• Drive workflow automation to reduce manual intervention, implementing monitoring, alerting, and dependency tracking for recurring data workflows and program operations.
• Scale self-serve analytics and deliver partner-facing tooling (dashboards, analytics surfaces) for fast diagnostics and opportunity discovery.
• Operationalize input metrics and establish business review cadences focused on leading indicators and accountable goals.
• Structure and execute targeted deep dives with clear hypotheses, decision asks, and downstream action plans.
• Use GenAI as the default operating model for program execution: produce AI-assisted artifacts, modernize high-toil workflows, synthesize signals to surface risks and decisions, and prototype data/automation solutions using AI coding assistants (vibe coding).
• Follow AI risk, governance, and safety-by-design practices when handling sensitive data and validating AI-generated outputs.

Requirements

• Staff-level TPM experience owning multi-team, multi-quarter technical programs and delivering outcomes through influence.
• Strong cross-functional leadership partnering with Product and Engineering and aligning Design, Sales, PMM, Core, Platforms, and Data.
• Experience building trusted metrics/SSOT and operational cadences that shift behavior toward leading indicators and fast diagnosis.
• Track record of building durable operating systems (cadence, dashboards, decision logs, RACI/DRIs) that reduce toil and increase velocity.
• Excellent risk and dependency management and clear stakeholder communications.
• Demonstrated AI-first execution mindset: using GenAI to accelerate planning, operations, and stakeholder communications while applying judgment to validate and refine outputs.
• Experience designing workflows, automation, and lightweight tooling (including using AI assistants / vibe coding) to improve decision-making and reduce toil.
• Familiarity with AI governance practices: risk assessment, data handling, model/output validation, and auditability.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related field, or equivalent experience.

Location & Work Model

• This role can be situated anywhere in the country and requires in-person collaboration 1–2 times every 6 months. The position is not eligible for relocation assistance.

Team Context

• Role sits in Monetization within EPD and partners closely with Product, Engineering, Design, Sales, PMM, Core, Platforms, and Data to drive a unified, data-driven monetization approach.
