Corporate Strategy Lead- Product

This is a senior individual contributor role within the Corporate Strategy team responsible for shaping firmwide Shopping strategy; the role has no direct reports but operates with high executive visibility within the Product and Engineering org.

What you’ll do:

• Lead strategic problem solving for priority questions by structuring ambiguous problems, developing clear hypotheses, scoping required analyses, and turning them into actionable recommendations that shape Pinterest’s multi-year Shopping strategy


• Partner closely across functions (PM, Eng, Sales, BD, PMM, DS) to identify Retailer/Merchant pain points and ecosystem opportunities, and translate these into concrete strategic priorities, resourcing implications, and cross-company decision frameworks


• Develop executive-ready narratives that synthesize complex data, market dynamics, and internal signals into clear, compelling stories used in MBRs, strategy reviews, and cross-company alignment forums


• Own light-touch data work required for strategy development, including gathering and pulling data across sources with basic SQ, to ensure clarity, accuracy, and depth in your strategic analyses (this is not a data science role, but self-serve comfort is required)


• Drive alignment and decision making by presenting insights and recommendations to senior leadership, ensuring stakeholders understand tradeoffs, opportunities, and implications for the Shopping roadmap


• Proactively surface new opportunities in the Merchant/Retailer ecosystem by combining internal performance trends, industry signals, merchant feedback, and competitive insights to inform long-range planning and capital allocation


• Operates as a strategic thought partner to leadership across the company, helping shape what Pinterest should build, accelerate, or rethink to unlock growth in Shopping

What we’re looking for:

• We’re specifically looking for candidates with a corporate strategy background who can structure ambiguous problems, drive stakeholder alignment, and translate data driven insights into clear strategic recommendations.


• 5+ years of experience in business strategy roles (corporate strategy, business strategy, management consulting, product strategy) where you influenced company wide direction in a fast-paced, data first environment. Big tech is a plus.


• Demonstrated structured problem solving - including framing ambiguous questions, developing hypotheses, design analyses, and translating them into actionable recommendations.


• Comfort writing basic SQL queries to independently pull data as part of strategy work; this is not a data science role, but ability to serve serve simple data is required.


• Exceptional narrative storytelling; able to synthesize complex data and ambiguous signals into crisp executive ready narratives that drive alignment.


• Experience influencing without authority across multiple functions (BD, PM, Sales, PMM, Eng, etc) where prioritization is competitive.


• Direct experience in advertising ecosystem is a plus, but candidates with strong strategic fundamentals who can quickly ramp into these domains are equally encouraged to apply.


• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field or equivalent experience.
