Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of experience in product finance, strategic finance, strategy & operations, FP&A, management consulting, or a similar analytical role—with meaningful time spent at a technology or marketplace company
- Demonstrated experience shaping how teams think about and act on performance data and defining the narrative around metrics, investment returns, and product impact
- Track record of operating as a trusted strategic counterpart to product and/or engineering leaders, with the ability to influence decisions without direct authority
- Strong analytical and modeling skills: ability to independently lead sophisticated analyses, break problems into components, build models from scratch, and synthesize data into clear, compelling narratives for executive audiences
- Excellent communication and storytelling: you regularly own standalone decks and present to senior leaders
- Self-directed operator who thrives in ambiguity, independently identifies the highest-impact work, and drives workstreams to completion without waiting for direction
- Experience as a dedicated finance or strategy partner to product and engineering teams, acting as their go-to strategic finance counterpart rather than a generalist supporting multiple departments
- Experience with product experimentation (A/B testing, persistent experiments) and causal measurement approaches; understanding of how to rigorously measure product impact
- Experience with enterprise planning tools (Anaplan, Adaptive Insights, Planful) and/or data platforms (Snowflake, BigQuery, dbt, Looker)
- Experience using AI to move beyond manual work by implementing automated solutions where appropriate
What the job involves
- This is a Manager-level individual contributor role within the Finance organization, dedicated to supporting Etsy’s Product and Engineering teams. You will lead through influence, operating as a key strategic counterpart to leaders who rely on you to bring clarity and accountability to how we measure and drive performance
- The ideal candidate will lead sophisticated, independent analyses and own executive-facing narratives that clarify performance and guide prioritization across the organization. By connecting dots across the company and collaborating deeply with Analytics, you will build Etsy’s strategic direction and ensure all initiatives are measured against impactful North Star metrics
- The Strategic Finance team partners closely with leaders across Etsy to help shape company strategy, evaluate investments, and drive sustainable growth
- As a trusted thought partner to Product, Engineering, Analytics, and Executive Leadership, the team combines rigorous financial analysis with deep business insight to inform decision-making at every level
- We thrive on solving complex problems, bringing clarity to ambiguity, and helping the organization focus on the opportunities that will create the greatest impact for Etsy’s buyers, sellers, and marketplace
- Own the complete financial and strategic narrative for product progress and performance measurement at Etsy
- Partner with Analytics and Product to develop business cases, track performance against goals, and synthesize data into executive-facing views that advise decisions
- Lead analyses to uncover performance gaps and adoption trends, translating findings into prioritized recommendations for product leadership
- Independently develop ROI analyses, cost-benefit frameworks, and payback models that shape roadmap prioritization—and track the end-to-end lifecycle of initiatives from investment through post-launch impact measurement
- Serve as the critical strategic advisor business partners, helping them evaluate trade-offs and scope initiatives
- Own the financial planning cycle for your area including annual budgets, quarterly forecasts, long-range plans, and monthly P&L reporting
- Build and maintain financial models for budgeting, forecasting, and scenario analysis, continuously improving processes for efficiency and scale
- Act as connective tissue between Analytics, Product, Finance leadership, and cross-functional partners—identifying strategic opportunities and surfacing insights proactively
- Guide senior leaders on resource allocation and strategic decisions, occasionally presenting at leadership meetings and playing a critical role in cross-functional workstreams
- Of course, this is just a sample of the kinds of work this role will require! You should assume that your role will encompass other tasks, too, and that your job duties and responsibilities may change from time to time at Etsy's discretion, or otherwise applicable with local law
Our take
Created as an alternative to more corporate eCommerce sites, Etsy is a peer-to-peer (P2P) website where users buy and sell handmade crafts, vintage items, art and photography. The online marketplace works similarly to Amazon and eBay, only with an emphasis on unique items rather than mass-produced merchandise.
Since its IPO in 2015, it has managed to hold its own in an increasingly competitive eCommerce industry, including from Amazon's handmade section that launched in 2015. Further, by providing sellers with ownership over pricing and branding, the site is attractive for those wanting to set up a business on an established platform.
However, the seller-side of Etsy is not without problems. A hike in transaction fees and the introduction of mandatory marketing fees for artists with high turnovers created significant discontent amongst sellers. Despite this, Etsy continues to connect artists and consumers, attracting shoppers with its message of extraordinary, handmade and affordable products.
