We are looking for Lead Industry Managers in our Singapore-based Greater China Export Sales Team. This person will oversee an explosive growth opportunity in the Greater China Region with a unique potential for sustained global impact. This role will report directly to the Director of Sales for the Greater China Region.
Our new progressive work model is called PinFlex, a term that’s uniquely Pinterest to describe our flexible approach to living and working. Visit our PinFlex landing page to learn more.

What you’ll do

Lead and scale a high-performing Torso + Scaled SMB Account Management team (including vendor/outsourced resources where applicable) to deliver against quarterly revenue, retention, and advertiser growth targets for Greater China Region (GCR).
Own the scaled coverage model for GCR Torso/SMB—define segmentation, service levels, account assignment, capacity planning, and operating cadence to maximize ROI and consistent execution at scale.
Serve as one of the primary senior point of contacts for key GCR agencies and channel partners supporting Torso/SMB; build and deepen executive relationships, align on joint business plans, and co-drive partner accountability to performance.
Develop and deploy acquisition, activation, and retention strategies/programs for Torso/SMB (e.g., onboarding motions, always-on optimization frameworks, reactivation plays, seasonal packages) that measurably improve spend, repeat rates, and LTV.
Implement scalable processes, playbooks, and automation (tooling, standardized outreach, learning agendas, QA, escalation paths) that enable efficient execution across large account volumes without sacrificing quality.
Achieve targets through rigorous planning and analytics—set goals and KPIs by segment, analyze cohort and funnel performance, identify growth constraints, and translate insights into prioritized actions and resource tradeoffs.
Own forecasting, pipeline hygiene, and performance management—weekly/monthly/quarterly reviews, risk/opportunity management, and clear intervention plans to close gaps.
Communicate progress and insights clearly across time zones to regional and global stakeholders; provide structured updates on program performance, partner health, and key business decisions.
Work cross-functionally and cross-regionally with Sales Ops, Product, Marketing, Measurement, Policy, and Support to improve the Torso/SMB advertiser experience and remove scale blockers (billing, measurement, onboarding, creative, etc.).
Plan and participate in local marketing and partner events to drive demand generation for Torso/SMB and represent Pinterest’s value proposition in-market.
Motivate, coach, and develop sales talent in partnership with the vendor, building a culture of accountability, operational excellence, and continuous improvement; ensure role clarity, ramp plans, and performance standards are consistently applied.

What we’re looking for

8+ years of professional experience in digital media sales, online advertising, or sales leadership.
Well-acquainted with the export advertising business of the Greater China market; experienced in working with sales partners in the Greater China area.
A data-driven leader with the ability to lead teams against aggressive goals.
Demonstrated track record of leading and inspiring others.
Experience in process management, operations management, and understanding how to grow and scale businesses.
Ability to extract insights from data to inform strategic decisions and translate them into action plans.
Comfortable working in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment.
Business proficiency in Mandarin and English is a must.
Experience working with outsourced vendors is a plus.
Experience working with Agencies/Resellers is a plus.
Fluent in Salesforce, Tableau, Excel, and other sales productivity software.
Comfortable with 30% of travel time.
BA/BS degree.
