• Mentor and support creative teams through direct feedback, coaching and inclusive day-to-day leadership.
• Use creative technology, including AI tools, to support ideation, visualization and production workflows.
• Make clear creative decisions in complex, high-stakes workstreams and keep work moving from concept to launch.
• Use AI tools to accelerate the translation of creative vision into visual references — move human-led creative vision from concept to execution faster, explore production approaches more broadly, while maintaining the creative judgment and brand standards that ensure every output meets Pinterest's quality bar.

What we’re looking for:

• 10+ years of experience in creative direction, art direction or design leadership across agency and in-house environments.
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as Visual Art, Design or equivalent experience.
• Experience leading large-scale campaigns and creative programs across film, video and integrated channels.

• Demonstrated experience using AI tools to improve speed and quality across creative production, visualization, and workflow tasks
• A high creative bar and the demonstrated ability to set standards, lead reviews, and drive quality through iteration and clear direction.
• Experience leading and mentoring multidisciplinary creative teams.
• Strong critical evaluation skills when working with AI-assisted outputs
• A portfolio showing strength in visual craft, storytelling and art direction across major campaigns.
• Passionate about Pinterest’s mission and experienced in building inclusive, high-performing creative teams.
