This Director of Technical Program Management role owns the infrastructure budget operating system—the strategy, mechanisms, and executive partnerships that enable Pinterest to fund innovation while executing to budget and margin targets. You will lead a team of TPMs who run key governance programs spanning spend control, evergreen efficiency, capacity management, and cloud vendor performance, partnering closely with senior leaders across Finance, Engineering, and Product.

• Lead a team of TPMs and FinOps practitioners driving programs across spend transparency, efficiency, capacity planning, and vendor performance
• Build source-of-truth reporting, dashboards, and business reviews that make infrastructure cost, usage, and performance visible and actionable
• Partner with Finance, Engineering, Product, and Procurement leaders to drive high-quality trade-offs across innovation, reliability, cost, and growth
• Establish scalable guardrails, escalation paths, and accountability models that help teams move quickly while maintaining financial discipline
• Sponsor cloud vendor strategy and performance management in partnership with engineering and finance stakeholders
• Coach and develop senior leaders on the team while raising the bar on operational excellence, decision quality, and inclusive leadership.

What We’re Looking For:

• Significant experience leading large, cross-functional technical portfolios through senior TPMs, managers, or FinOps practitioners
• Deep familiarity with cloud and infrastructure systems, including the cost, capacity, and reliability implications of technical decisions
• Strong business and financial acumen, including planning, forecasting, KPI management, and investment trade-off analysis
• Track record building durable governance mechanisms, reporting frameworks, and operating cadences that scale across many teams
• Executive presence and proven ability to influence senior leaders across Engineering, Finance, Product, and Procurement
• Strong analytical judgment and experience using data to drive decisions, accountability, and course correction
• Experience with infrastructure cost management, cloud financial management, FinOps, or related disciplines is strongly preferred
• Commitment to inclusive leadership, talent development, and building high-performing organizations.
