About Pinterest:  

Millions of people across the world come to Pinterest to find new ideas every day. It’s where they get inspiration, dream about new possibilities and plan for what matters most. Our mission is to help those people find their inspiration and create a life they love. In your role, you’ll be challenged to take on work that upholds this mission and pushes Pinterest forward. You’ll grow as a person and leader in your field, all the while helping Pinners make their lives better in the positive corner of the internet.

Creating a life you love also means finding a career that celebrates the unique perspectives and experiences that you bring. As you read through the expectations of the position, consider how your skills and experiences may complement the responsibilities of the role. We encourage you to think through your relevant and transferable skills from prior experiences.

Our new progressive work model is called PinFlex, a term that’s uniquely Pinterest to describe our flexible approach to living and working. Visit our PinFlex landing page to learn more. 

The House of Creative team at Pinterest is the epicenter of creativity and production within the Marketing organization. The brand is seeing an unprecedented amount of buzz in the marketing industry right now and we are keen to capture this lightning in a bottle to propel the creative output to even greater heights. 

What you’ll do:

  • Craft social content and campaigns that grab your audience’s attention and hold it
  • Write snappy copy for Pinterest across audiences, from taglines to emails to display to social copy
  • Get familiar with what works in-product on Pinterest vs. out in the world. Write both.
  • Regularly work with our product partners on house ads and in-product copy that educates, entertains and engages Pinners
  • Partner with passionate designers, producers and marketers on full-scale campaigns that require writing across surfaces and audiences
  • Partner with our social team to understand what’s performing. Build your future copy from there. You care deeply about landing the human truth behind an idea.
  • Regularly work on major marketing events across audiences, from Coachella to Cannes
  • Present and weigh-in at workshops and team meetings. Debate the fate of words!

What we’re looking for:

  • 6+ years of copywriting experience, especially scripts and social
  • Exceptional concepts in your book
  • Experience working across consumer audiences.
  • Detail-oriented writer who “aims for extraordinary” even in the first draft.
  • You already “get” the Pinterest voice and what makes us different. Empowered by our brand guidelines, you’ll be fluent in it within a few weeks. You have experience writing across different brand voices. 
  • You obsess over analytics. You care about testing and you love learns. 
  • You have a pulse on current culture and social media trends. Perhaps you have experience community managing for a major brand. Either way, you get a kick out of writing the most culturally relevant copy and can write timely social copy on a whim.
  • You're confident under pressure. Your work—and your words—will be literally put in front of hundreds of millions of people. You take that opportunity (and responsibility!) seriously.

This position is not eligible for relocation assistance.
