As a Strategy & Operations Intern on Pinterest’s Global Content Organization (GCO), you’ll support business planning, performance analysis, and scoped operational projects. You’ll turn data into clear insights, track progress against team goals, and identify practical ways to improve how work gets done.

What you’ll do:

• Analyze business and operational metrics to identify trends, summarize findings, and explain performance against defined goals.
• Build or improve a recurring report or dashboard for a focused set of metrics; document metric definitions and refresh steps.
• Support team planning and goal-setting by organizing inputs, maintaining a milestone tracker, and surfacing open questions and dependencies.
• Coordinate a scoped team project by tracking milestones, documenting decisions, and preparing concise status updates.
• Review a routine workflow and recommend a practical improvement, including the expected benefit and suggested next step.
• Use Pinterest-approved AI and internal tools, where appropriate, to support research, analysis, and workflow improvement; validate outputs, use sound judgment, and follow responsible-use guidance.

What we are looking for:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Economics, Finance, Statistics, Business Analytics, Data Analytics, a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Experience analyzing data to identify trends, answer defined business questions, and communicate clear takeaways.
• Experience using spreadsheets, reports, dashboards, or similar tools to organize, analyze, and present information.
• Ability to bring structure to ambiguous questions, identify relevant inputs, and develop practical next steps with manager guidance.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail when tracking milestones, documenting decisions, and maintaining project materials.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to share concise updates and collaborate effectively with relevant stakeholders.
• Ability to use AI to improve the speed and quality of relevant research, analysis, or workflow outputs while validating accuracy and quality.
• High integrity and ownership when using AI and internal tools, including protecting sensitive data, following responsible-use guidance, and remaining accountable for final deliverables.
