About the job
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.
Responsibilities
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
