Position Summary:

Pinterest’s Infrastructure Governance (InfraGov) team ensures our infrastructure is cost-efficient and aligned to company priorities. This Director of Technical Program Management role owns the infrastructure budget operating system—the strategy, mechanisms, and executive partnerships that enable Pinterest to fund innovation while executing to budget and margin targets. You will lead a team of TPMs who run key governance programs spanning spend control, evergreen efficiency, capacity management, and cloud vendor performance, partnering closely with senior leaders across Finance, Engineering, and Product. Success requires a leader who can build durable decision frameworks, create transparency through metrics and tooling, and drive balanced trade-offs across a complex portfolio. This is a high-visibility role at the intersection of technology strategy and business outcomes, with direct impact on how Pinterest scales.

What You’ll Do:

• Define the multi-year strategy and operating model for infrastructure cost governance/ FinOps at Pinterest
• Own annual planning, quarterly re-forecasting, variance management, and execute-to-budget mechanisms for infrastructure investment
• Lead a team of TPMs and FinOps practitioners driving programs across spend transparency, efficiency, capacity planning, and vendor performance
• Build source-of-truth reporting, dashboards, and business reviews that make infrastructure cost, usage, and performance visible and actionable
• Partner with Finance, Engineering, Product, and Procurement leaders to drive high-quality trade-offs across innovation, reliability, cost, and growth
• Establish scalable guardrails, escalation paths, and accountability models that help teams move quickly while maintaining financial discipline
• Sponsor cloud vendor strategy and performance management in partnership with engineering and finance stakeholders
• Coach and develop senior leaders on the team while raising the bar on operational excellence, decision quality, and inclusive leadership.
• Use GenAI as the default operating model for EP PgM execution—producing AI-assisted first drafts of core program artifacts, modernizing high-toil workflows into AI-first mechanisms (e.g., intake triage, status synthesis, action/decision extraction, risk & dependency tracking), and synthesizing signals to proactively surface risks, decision/trade-offs, and escalation paths.
• Prototype solutions to augment decisions through data (e.g. dashboards, data analysis) or simplify processes (e.g. process and workflow helpers, or internal tools) using AI coding assistants (“vibe coding”).
• Follow Pinterest AI guidance for risk, governance, and safety-by-design: appropriately handle sensitive data, validate AI-generated outputs, document assumptions/limits, and ensure AI-assisted workflows meet applicable policy/compliance expectations before broad adoption.

What We’re Looking For:

• Significant experience leading large, cross-functional technical portfolios through senior TPMs, managers, or FinOps practitioners
• Deep familiarity with cloud and infrastructure systems, including the cost, capacity, and reliability implications of technical decisions
• Strong business and financial acumen, including planning, forecasting, KPI management, and investment trade-off analysis
• Track record building durable governance mechanisms, reporting frameworks, and operating cadences that scale across many teams
• Executive presence and proven ability to influence senior leaders across Engineering, Finance, Product, and Procurement
• Strong analytical judgment and experience using data to drive decisions, accountability, and course correction
• Experience with infrastructure cost management, cloud financial management, FinOps, or related disciplines is strongly preferred
• Commitment to inclusive leadership, talent development, and building high-performing organizations.
• AI-first execution mindset: demonstrated ability to use GenAI to accelerate planning, program operations, and stakeholder communications—starting with AI drafts and applying strong judgment to validate, refine, and drive decisions.
• Workflow design, AI fluency, data & insights orientation: experience turning repeatable program work into durable, low-toil mechanisms and improving decision-making by using GenAI (e.g., strong prompting, vibe coding lightweight scripts/tools, dashboards, data analysis and leveraging agents where appropriate)
• Safety-by-design AI fluency: experience operating within AI governance expectations (risk assessment, data handling, model/output validation, auditability/traceability) and proactively identifying where AI use is not appropriate or requires additional controls.
