Millions of people around the world come to our platform to find creative ideas, dream about new possibilities and plan for memories that will last a lifetime. At Pinterest, we’re on a mission to bring everyone the inspiration to create a life they love, and that starts with the people behind the product.

Discover a career where you ignite innovation for millions, transform passion into growth opportunities, celebrate each other’s unique experiences and embrace the flexibility to do your best work. Creating a career you love? It’s Possible.

Pinterest is on a mission to improve the comprehensiveness and shopability of ads on our platform. We’re accomplishing this by expanding our advertising demand sources through partnerships with third-party ad platforms and working closely with Agencies and media companies who manage performance marketing budgets.

As a member of the Programmatic Technical Operations team, you will drive the success of Pinterest’s programmatic ad products by serving as the primary client contact for deal creation, campaign setup, and launches. You’ll troubleshoot technical issues, optimize campaigns for performance, and collaborate closely with cross functional teams to elevate client outcomes and enhance internal processes.

What You'll Do

  • Act as a key point of contact for clients, supporting programmatic deal creation, campaign setup, and ensuring smooth campaign launches.
  • Diagnose and resolve technical issues, monitor campaign performance, and proactively optimize to achieve client goals and address problems quickly.
  • Partner with internal teams (Sales, Product, Engineering) to communicate client needs, share best practices, and contribute to ongoing process improvements.


What We’re Looking For

  • 5 years of experience in brand or performance advertising within a fast growing tech company.
  • Understanding of programmatic advertising platforms (DSPs, SSPs), deal types (PMP, PG, open auction), and related technologies.
  • Hands-on experience with programmatic campaign setup, optimization, troubleshooting, and performance analysis.
  • Familiarity with ad servers, tag management, data integrations, and measurement/attribution tools (e.g., Google Ad Manager, DV360, The Trade Desk).
  • Ability to diagnose and resolve technical issues related to campaign execution (e.g., creative specs, data flows, latency, tracking, troubleshooting discrepancies).
  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as digital media or sales, or equivalent professional experience.


Relocation Statement:

  • This position is not eligible for relocation assistance. Visit our PinFlex page to learn more about our working model.


In-Office Requirement Statement

  • We let the type of work you do guide the collaboration style. That means we're not always working in an office, but we continue to gather for key moments of collaboration and connection.
  • This role will need to be in the office for in-person collaboration 1/week and therefore needs to be in a commutable distance from one of the following offices: Chicago, IL or New York City, NY.


At Pinterest we believe the workplace should be equitable, inclusive, and inspiring for every employee. In an effort to provide greater transparency, we are sharing the base salary range for this position. The position is also eligible for equity. Final salary is based on a number of factors including location, travel, relevant prior experience, or particular skills and expertise.
