Job description

About Pinterest :

Millions of people around the world come to our platform to find creative ideas, dream about new possibilities and plan for memories that will last a lifetime. At Pinterest, we're on a mission to bring everyone the inspiration to create a life they love, and that starts with the people behind the product.

Discover a career where you ignite innovation for millions, transform passion into growth opportunities, celebrate each other's unique experiences and embrace the flexibility to do your best work. Creating a career you love? It's Possible.

Pinterest is a company like no other. And this is a time like no other. We've spent the last decade building one of the world's most beloved products. Now it's time for us to build one of the world's most beloved brands. We've earned the right to tell bigger stories than ever before. That's where you come in.

You'll be the writer behind some of our most impactful storytelling. You're right for this role because you have tons of experience crafting compelling scripts that change people's minds. You're just as skilled at writing video scripts as you are at crafting sizzly doc style videos. You think big and are unafraid to pitch wild, wacky ideas that will change people's minds. And you can't wait to work with our creative and marketing partners to develop and write stories that bring new advertisers and consumers to Pinterest.

What you'll do :

  • Research, write, edit, repeat. From thought provoking branded content treatments to product video comedy scripts, you'll be the pen behind the Pin.
  • Think big. Come up with out-of-the-box ideas for branded content, content series, promo campaigns, and product launches. Then bring them to life, strategically and with humor.
  • Find the most urgent, compelling insights that will change consumer or advertiser perception and behavior. Use them to inform the stories you tell.
  • Become a steward of the Pinterest brand voice. Study our voice and tone, and apply it to all copy touch points, and find ways to push it with humor or wit.
  • Collaborate, collaborate, collaborate. Partner regularly with cross-functional teams at Pinterest-from our in-house research team to our world-class events team.
  • Stay current on trends, storytelling techniques, and industry best practices.

What we're looking for :

  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as Communications, or equivalent experience.
  • You can translate complex information into accessible, engaging stories.
  • You know how to hone an insight, articulate a concept, help sell it through, and perfect every detail all the way through execution.
  • You're able to pick up a brand's voice and stay committed to learning and understanding the way the tone and voice are expressed across the brand. You don't shy away from asking questions, learning new things and sharing your ideas.
  • You have a sense of humor and know how to inject that comedy nuance into scripts and branded content.
  • You can structure real-life stories into compelling narratives.
  • You've worked in high-paced, iterative creative environments before. You have experience writing many scripts in a few days, gleaning feedback and creating a fresh batch for review in a week's time.
  • You love research. Whether it's for a product launch, real people stories or client stories, you dig for the best content, the best way in or the most interesting creator story.
  • You know your way around all levels of video production and post-from scrappy two person crews to big sets.
  • Ideally, you are based in San Francisco or Los Angeles, CA, but we are open to other locations.
  • Relocation Statement :

  • This position is not eligible for relocation assistance. Visit our PinFlex page to learn more about our working model.
  • In-Office Requirement Statement

  • We let the type of work you do guide the collaboration style. That means we're not always working in an office, but we continue to gather for key moments of collaboration and connection.
  • This role will need to be in the office for in-person collaboration 1-2 times every 6-months and therefore can be situated anywhere in the country.
  • #LI-REMOTE

    At Pinterest we believe the workplace should be equitable, inclusive, and inspiring for every employee. In an effort to provide greater transparency, we are sharing the base salary range for this position. The position is also eligible for equity. Final salary is based on a number of factors including location, travel, relevant prior experience, or particular skills and expertise.

    $97,104 — $178,500 USD

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion or religious creed, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, status as a protected veteran, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information or characteristics (or those of a family member) or any other consideration made unlawful by applicable federal, state or local laws.
