## Job Description

## What you’ll do:

* Own and execute experiential programs end‑to‑end – from planning and pre‑production through on‑site execution and post‑event debriefs and reconciliation – ensuring every touchpoint aligns to key messaging, brand standards, and business goals within a defined scope.
* Contribute to creative development for events and experiences, partnering with designers, writers, and strategists to help shape concepts that translate product and brand stories into impactful activations.
* Maintain a high bar for craft and quality, ensuring that agency and vendor output meets Pinterest’s brand guidelines, experiential principles, and project requirements.
* Collaborate closely with cross‑functional partners (e.g., Marketing, Sales, Comms, Policy) to surface insights and help craft compelling stories and attendee journeys for regional and, at times, global audiences.
* Manage agencies, timelines, budgets, and project workstreams for your programs; provide clear, timely, and precise updates to cross‑functional stakeholders and escalate risks or trade‑offs when needed.
* Support production craft across key elements such as talent, venues, production design, activations, merchandise, and partnerships, ensuring deliverables are feasible, on‑brand, and logistically sound.
* Build and track project budgets across vendors; make sound, timely recommendations and help maintain accountability for scope, cost, time, and quality.
* Coordinate and contribute within project teams or smaller pods, helping to align roles, timelines, and deliverables, and ensuring smooth collaboration across partners.
* Support contract and vendor management, including scoping, bidding, and day‑to‑day oversight, ensuring partners deliver high‑quality work against agreed parameters.
* Present project plans and updates to stakeholders; participate actively in reviews, synthesize feedback, and help keep teams inspired, aligned, and focused on delivering great work.
* Leverage AI tools to accelerate planning and performance, finding operational efficiencies while also building frameworks that enable us to scale our impact.

## What we’re looking for:

* A proven track record owning and executing experiential programs that translate product and brand stories into impactful activations, ideally across multiple markets or regions.
* 6+ years of experience in event production experience, ideally gained through a mix of agency and in‑house roles.
* Strong program/project management skills, including building and managing scopes, timelines, RFPs, vendor coordination, risk identification, and post‑event evaluation.
* Solid, hands‑on production knowledge and acumen – from fabrication and staging to logistics and on‑site operations – and comfort navigating constraints with practical solutions.
* Demonstrated stakeholder management skills and experience working directly with internal partners and agencies; ability to set expectations, communicate trade‑offs, and maintain trust.
* Clear, confident communication and presentation skills, with the ability to walk partners through plans, respond to feedback, and represent your work in reviews.
* Someone with a strong creative point of view who contributes thoughtful, on‑brand ideas, thinks beyond the obvious when bringing the Pinterest brand to life, and takes pride in creating visually compelling, memorable experiences.
* Candidates should be comfortable leveraging AI tools in day-to-day work to improve efficiency, performance and outcomes.
* Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as Marketing, or equivalent experience.
