Director of Marketing Project & Program Management

Role Overview

Lead Pinterest’s Marketing Project & Program Management function as Director. You’ll build the PMO (Project Management Office) into a full governance capability for marketing initiatives, and own the technology function behind AI-powered project management tools.

Responsibilities

• Mature the PMO into a governance function (process admission, portfolio taxonomy, status rhythms, and escalation protocols).
• Govern the marketing events portfolio, including flagship events, regional activations, and international campaigns.
• Lead portfolio prioritization and capacity planning; surface trade-offs to senior stakeholders.
• Define and build an AI-powered infrastructure for the PMO, owning the technology layer that runs PMO operations.
• Set the quality bar for technology outputs and evolve the stack as the function matures.
• Build and develop the team (including hiring and establishing culture).
• Monitor vendor health, including SLA accountability and make build/buy/extend recommendations.

Requirements

• Proven ability to partner across creative, marketing, communications, and brand stakeholders with structural clarity and objectivity.
• 12+ years of project management experience, with demonstrated experience inside a marketing/creative/communications organization.
• Experience designing a hybrid project management methodology combining Agile and long-cycle approaches in a marketing/media environment.
• Hands-on experience building/deploying AI-powered workflows and agents in an operational setting (tool evaluation, implementation decisions, holding automated outputs accountable).
• Experience building project management teams and hiring for a governance model.
• Experience leading a project portfolio strategically, including working with Finance.
• Experience running a PMO as a true governance function, neutral to project outcomes with authority derived from process and structure.

Nice-to-Haves

• Not explicitly stated, but strong fit if you’ve owned PMO governance at scale and delivered AI tooling that improves operational execution quality.
