Staff Technical Program Manager (SOX Compliance)

Role Overview

Join Pinterest as a Staff Technical Program Manager (SOX Compliance). You will lead strategic compliance engineering programs, modernize SOX audit operations, and drive improvements in planning, execution, and evidence readiness across engineering, product, and finance.

Key Missions

• Lead strategic compliance engineering programs across multiple teams and organizations by translating risk/control objectives into executable roadmaps, milestones, and measurable outcomes.
• Modernize the SOX audit program by moving from manual, high-effort evidence collection to AI-driven automated control monitoring and improved audit readiness.
• Improve planning and evidence mechanisms to reduce manual work and increase consistency, readiness, and organizational trust in control execution.

Responsibilities

• Drive durable improvements in how the organization plans, tracks, and evidences control execution.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Product, Finance, and other strategic partners to align on control execution and audit readiness.
• Apply an AI-first execution mindset to streamline program operations while maintaining compliance and safety-by-design.
• Build scalable mechanisms (e.g., operating rhythms, governance, templates, tools, and processes) that improve quality and predictability.

Requirements

• Staff-level Technical Program Management experience with deep SOX domain fluency and strong technical judgment.
• Track record of leading complex, cross-functional programs and influencing senior leadership.
• AI fluency with governance/safety-by-design, including risk assessment, data handling, model/output validation, and auditability/traceability.
• Ability to turn repeatable work into low-toil mechanisms (e.g., workflows, dashboards, data analysis, and lightweight tooling/automation).
• Strong comfort operating in engineering contexts: understand constraints, challenge assumptions, surface technical risks, and guide sound trade-offs.
• Strong program leadership in environments with complex dependencies, shifting priorities, and risk management needs.
• BS in a technical discipline or equivalent experience; 7+ years of technical program management or equivalent experience leading large-scale technical programs across multiple teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Domain strength in compliance, controls, audit readiness, or other regulated/risk-sensitive environments.
• Experience navigating SOX compliance across distributed engineering and business organizations, with rigorous executive reporting and alignment across diverse control owners.
