Job description

As a Senior Business Analyst on the Integrated Content Solutions team, you will help shape how Pinterest understands content performance, content producers, and emerging trends across the platform. You will combine quantitative analysis, data mining, business storytelling, and scalable data product development to turn complex data into actionable insights for the Content team and cross-functional partners.

  • Synthesize large amounts of data from disparate sources and communicate insights clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, helping partners understand performance, trends, and opportunities across the content ecosystem.
  • Monitor key operating metrics and provide timely insights on trends influencing content performance, content producer outcomes, and progress against team goals.
  • Leverage internal ETL/ELT tools to build and maintain foundational datasets that support accurate, consistent, and scalable analysis for the Content team.
  • Build scalable analytics products and tools - including dashboards, reporting workflows, alerts, and dynamic data applications - that make complex information more accessible, actionable, and useful for stakeholders.
  • Use AI and other emerging tools thoughtfully to accelerate analytics workflows, support data product development, and improve how stakeholders engage with data, while maintaining strong judgment, validation, and ownership of final outputs.
  • Partner closely with cross-functional teams across Content Partnerships, Editorial, Product, Engineering, Strategy, Product Analytics, and global teams to frame business questions, define success, incorporate feedback, and turn insights into practical tools and recommendations., * We recognize that the ideal environment for work is situational and may differ across departments. What this looks like day-to-day can vary based on the needs of each organization or role.
  • This role will need to be in the office for in-person collaboration 1-2 times/quarter and therefore can be situated anywhere in the country.
