At Pinterest, AI isn't just a feature, it's a powerful partner that augments our creativity and amplifies our impact, and we’re looking for candidates who are excited to be a part of that. To get a complete picture of your experience and abilities, we’ll explore your foundational skills and how you collaborate with AI.
Through our interview process, what matters most is that you can always explain your approach, showing us not just what you know, but how you think. You can read more about our AI interview philosophy and how we use AI in our recruiting process here.As a Staff Product Manager for the GenAI Safety team within Trust & Safety, you'll define and drive the product strategy for ensuring Pinterest's GenAI-powered systems are safe, fair, and trustworthy. You'll be responsible for building proactive safety frameworks that scale with our growing AI capabilities, partnering deeply with engineering, policy, data science, and design to protect our users while enabling Pinterest to innovate responsibly.
This is a high-impact role for someone who is passionate about the intersection of AI and user safety, and who thrives in ambiguous, fast-evolving problem spaces. You'll work at the frontier of responsible AI - anticipating novel harms before they emerge, red-teaming new AI features, and translating complex policy goals into measurable product requirements.
What you'll do:
GenAI Safety Strategy: Own and drive the product roadmap for GenAI safety across Pinterest's AI-powered surfaces, including assisted search, content recommendations, automated moderation, and generative content creation tools
Threat Modeling & Red-Teaming: Lead proactive identification of risks, failure modes, and adversarial attack vectors across AI systems - designing structured red-teaming exercises and evaluation frameworks before and after product launches
Policy-to-Product Translation: Partner closely with Trust & Safety policy, legal, and ethics teams to translate nuanced content guidelines (e.g., self-harm, misinformation, body image) into precise, buildable product requirements and model guardrails
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with engineering, ML, design, data science, policy, legal, comms, and operations teams to define, align, and ship AI safety solutions across global markets and diverse user populations
Evaluation & Measurement: Define and track quantitative safety metrics - including fairness audits, false positive/negative rates, disparate impact analysis, and content harm reduction - to ensure AI systems meet safety standards at scale
Incident Response: Develop and maintain AI safety incident runbooks and escalation frameworks, and lead rapid triage and remediation when AI systems produce harmful or unexpected outputs
Emerging Risk Anticipation: Stay ahead of the rapidly evolving AI landscape to identify safety implications of new capabilities (e.g., multi-modal generation, synthetic media, agentic AI) and proactively build extensible safety infrastructure to address unknown future applications
Global & Cultural Sensitivity: Ensure AI safety approaches account for the needs, norms, and contexts of Pinterest's diverse global user base - avoiding one-size-fits-all solutions and centering equity in safety design
User & Employee Wellbeing: Champion the safety and psychological wellbeing of both users who encounter harmful content and internal teams (content reviewers, T&S specialists) who work on the front lines of content safety
What we're looking for:
7+ years of product management experience, with meaningful depth in GenAI/ML, trust & safety, content moderation, or responsible AI
Strong fluency in AI/ML concepts - including generative models, recommendation systems, multi-modal AI, and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF)
Experience with AI ethics frameworks, responsible AI principles, or relevant regulatory landscapes (e.g., NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act)
Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams through ambiguous, high-stakes problem spaces with a bias for action
Proficiency in engaging with research, mapping threat models, validating risks, and translating insights into clear product strategies and roadmaps
Excellent communication skills - the ability to articulate complex technical and ethical trade-offs to non-technical audiences and senior leadership, facilitating clear decision-making
Deep empathy for users and a genuine commitment to making the internet safer
Bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as Computer Science, or equivalent experience
