3
Executive Profiling & Thought Leadership: Secure relevant speaking opportunities, manage executive communications, and create op-eds or commentary that reinforce Pinterest’s role as a positive platform and our stance on protecting youth online.

Requirements

Demonstrated expertise in UK media and policy, with a strong grasp of EU and global regulatory environments.
Ability to develop strategy with clear KPIs that translate for non-comms natives
Exceptional prioritization skills and ability to decide where best to invest time and resources - understanding closely a business’ commercial goals.
Proven track record of working directly with C-suite executives and managing complex, cross-functional projects.
Proven track record of handling complex media issues across multiple European markets
Strong press relationships across key outlets across Europe
Team player - not just within the global comms team, but border with cross-functional partners
Excellent written and verbal skills.
Bachelor’s degree in Communications, a related field or equivalent experience.
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.
