Description
We're looking for a Principal Product Manager to lead our AI compliance efforts. As a key member of our product team, you will define and drive the product strategy that ensures our AI models are developed, deployed, and used in a way that aligns with our values, strategic objectives, and account for relevant obligations.
Your primary responsibility will be to drive AI compliance and governance product strategy across Pinner- and advertiser-facing AI products. This includes ensuring that model training and inference align with global regulatory obligations, internal policies, and Pinterest's values.
You will own user-facing and internal data controls for AI training, setting requirements and roadmaps that balance product performance, privacy, and regulatory needs while ensuring effective internal enforcement and awareness.
You will also expand and support AI compliance tooling, including detection and labeling systems, governance workflows, and inventories, so teams across Pinterest can build compliant AI experiences efficiently and consistently.
In addition, you will partner deeply with Legal, Privacy, Policy, Security, and Engineering to translate complex regulatory requirements into clear, prioritized product workstreams and scalable platform capabilities.
As a Principal Product Manager, you will lead high-visibility, cross-functional programs that span multiple product areas, infrastructure, and engineering teams, creating alignment on tradeoffs, sequencing, and resourcing for AI governance initiatives across the company.
You will serve as a principal-level thought partner on AI governance, influencing long-range AI product strategy, identifying new risk or compliance gaps early, and advocating for the infrastructure and processes needed to keep Pinterest ahead of regulatory change.
To be successful in this role, you will need to have deep AI/ML or data platform product experience, including building or scaling products that rely on model training data, user data, or complex backend systems. Experience in AI safety, responsible AI, or AI compliance is a strong plus.
You will also need to have proven success driving cross-company, multi-year programs at a Staff/Principal level (or equivalent), especially in ambiguous problem spaces that require both strategic frameworks and hands-on execution.
Additionally, you will need to have experience working closely with Legal, Privacy, Policy, and Security teams to operationalize regulatory or policy requirements into product features, data controls, and platform capabilities.
Fluency with data and governance concepts is also required, including comfort reasoning about data classification, lineage, retention, opt-outs, and enforcement, and partnering with technical teams to define robust measurement and monitoring.
Finally, you will need to have exceptional communication and influence skills, with the ability to align executive stakeholders and cross-functional partners around a clear point of view on AI risk, compliance tradeoffs, and sequencing.
If you are a motivated and experienced product leader who is passionate about AI governance and compliance, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
