Pinterest is on a mission to improve the comprehensiveness and shopability of ads on our platform. We’re accomplishing this by expanding our advertising demand sources through partnerships with third-party ad platforms and working closely with Agencies and media companies who manage performance marketing budgets.
As the founding member of the EMEA Programmatic Technical Operations team, you will drive the success of Pinterest’s programmatic ad products by serving as the primary client contact for deal creation, campaign setup, and launches. You’ll troubleshoot technical issues, optimize campaigns for performance, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to elevate client outcomes and enhance internal processes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
