Pinterest is where millions of people around the world get inspiration, dream about new possibilities and plan for what matters most. Its mission is to help those people find their inspiration and create a life they love.

Currently hiring new writers to join the small but mighty (smighty?) Pinterest product writing team. Come help tell the brand story and build features. While you’re at it, make one big POW! of an impact at a company that’s here to help you find inspiration and create a life you love. If you’ve got a heart for business owners and advertisers (from large enterprises to mom-and-pop shops), a pioneering spirit for testing and learning and a hunger to dig into UX and interaction design, you could be just the person for the job.

REQUIREMENTS

2+ years steeped in the wordy arts (UI/UX writing, content strategy or information architecture or time working in marketing, communications or technical writing) and especially ads or business-y audiences (people responsible for spending marketing money to grow their business) to make the complex feel clear
Puzzle-loving brains with a flair for negotiating tight constraints
Ability to revel in the microcopy weeds AND consider the big picture of branding and product positioning and strategy
Visual thinkers who can or want to mindmeld with designers and visually communicate their recommendations by jumping headfirst into Figma and other tools and practiced persuaders who back up their recommendations with sound reasoning and represent their thinking with conviction
Experience or itching desire to match wits with engineers, product managers, designers and other deeply smart, opinionated people. And, at times, leading without authority because it needs to get done
BA and/or Masters or equivalent experience in Literature/English, Psychology, Design, Linguistics, Journalism, HCI, or related fields of study

RESPONSIBILITIES

Write the words and craft the experiences that go into the Pinterest products to grow our business. Conduct audits, identify patterns, lead brainstorming sessions, name all the things, tell stories with data, work hand-in-hand with engineers on those tricky error messages, and tinker with different solutions and iterate like crazy until you truly understand what works in all the different nooks and corners of these products and features.
Develop Pinterest’s voice and tone in their business measurement tools, product and feature onboarding, emails, notifications, conversion learning models, analytics, trends and oh so much more… then roll up your sleeves to think about how they fit in overall Pinterest voice, tone and standards.
Join forces with the industry’s topmost designers, researchers, engineers, product managers and product marketers to position our ads and business features, develop journeys and think through the information architecture and evolve it. Oh, don’t forget the lawyers, policy mavens, and PR smarties! You’ll work with them, too
Tune in to research (industry, quantitative, qualitative) to learn about what advertisers and businesses truly need. Bring their human voices into problem statements, product UI and inform marketing materials. Behind every business account is a person or a group of people just trying to get their ROI just right
Weigh in at the weekly crit workshop! Debate the fate of the words! Join our punupmanship pile-ons!
