What the job involves

- Develop Customer Empathy: Gather feedback from customers as well as the engineers and data scientists building the platform to understand their pain points, needs and vision for how experimentation can better enable their success
- Build Vision: Create and drive the product vision, roadmaps and specifications for investments in experimentation. Closely collaborate with customers and platform teams to review, validate and get buy-in on these

- Execute & Deliver Results: Execute on the roadmap in collaboration with platform engineering and data science teams and communicate progress to customers as we track toward the vision

Our take
Inspiration and ideas can pop into your head at any time, and with the growth of social media and networking, sharing these interests and gaining exposure has never been easier. Pinterest exists to display these moments visually, as a kind of digital pinboard allowing users to save and share digital images which have inspired them.
Pinterest's emphasis on visual discovery has differentiated it from competitors and created a more positive and fulfilling experience for its users. Pinterest in many ways provides a respite from the ceaseless negativity that plagues social media such as Facebook and Twitter, and this is perhaps responsible for its userbase expanding to 450 million users in 2022, driven by uptake mostly outside of North America.
Pinterest has not been immune to woes affecting the global tech sector and made about 5% of its workforce redundant at the end of 2022 and the start of 2023. Having restructured to face a challenging climate, it is well-positioned to resume its growth, which has increased consistently year on year. Its immediate goals are to continue to grow its user base and expand the uptake of its short video product, which it aims to monetize.
