Job Posting: Pinterest

The social media company is hiring its first Head of Ombuds. Pinterest would be the second major tech company to create an Ombuds program. Although the company is based in San Francisco, the position may work remotely. The Ombuds is expected to serve as a resource for Pinterest's 2,500 employees around the world. In December 2020, a Special Committee of the Pinterest Board reviewed the workplace culture and recommended several changes to improve workplace culture, including the creation of an Ombuds office.

Applicants should have: at least ten years working in an Ombuds function in an organizational environment, experience building and scaling a global ombuds program; and experience in mediation, facilitation, dispute systems designs, conflict coaching, judgment and problem solving. No salary or application deadline indicated. (Pinterest Posting.)
