Role
Who you are
- 4+ years of experience in analytics and/or finance, with experience working directly on financial reporting, earnings, or SEC/IR-adjacent workflows
- Advanced proficiency in SQL and data visualization (e.g., Looker, BigQuery) and comfort working with complex, large-scale financial datasets
- Demonstrated ability to own critical recurring workflows (e.g., SEC/earnings data prep) while also driving project-based analyses with minimal oversight
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to partner closely with Accounting, IR, and cross-functional teams and to tell a clear, concise data story for executive audiences
- Intellectual curiosity and high energy level with a hands-on approach combined with the ability to provide leadership and structure in a fast-paced dynamic environment
- Firm grasp of GAAP; familiarity with e-Commerce and technology is a plus
- Experience communicating insights to senior executives verbally, visually, and in writing
What the job involves
- As the Senior Data Analyst in Finance Analytics, you will provide critical analytical support to Accounting, SEC Reporting, and Investor Relations, owning key data workflows and metrics that underpin Etsy’s quarterly and annual earnings process and related external reporting
- The Forecasting & Business Insights team is a high-visibility unit within Strategic Finance, with four current members. We act as the primary engine for Gross Merchandise Sales (GMS) forecasting, competitive intelligence, and SEC reporting
- Our work is divided into three core pillars:
- Predictive Forecasting:Building and maintaining data-driven time series models using SQL, Python, and BigQuery to guide company-wide budgeting
- External Reporting:Providing the analytical backbone for SEC filings, earnings presentations, and Investor Relations to communicate Etsy's performance to the public markets
- Business Intelligence:Translating complex datasets into actionable insights via Looker/Google Sheets to support Senior Management and Board-level decision-making
- Support quarterly and annual earnings cycles by building, maintaining, and validating core data pipelines, queries, and dashboards used by Accounting and Investor Relations for SEC filings and investor communications
- Create and maintain metrics and analyses that translate raw financial and operational data into clear, decision-ready insights for Finance leadership and cross-functional partners
- Lead high-impact special projects and ad-hoc analyses that address complex, cross-functional financial questions (e.g., methodology questions, metric changes, data quality issues) while ensuring consistency with accounting and reporting standards
- Translate complex analytical findings into executive-level narratives, including clear “so what”s and tradeoffs for senior stakeholders involved in earnings, forecasting, and integrated reporting
- Liaise with internal and external stakeholders (e.g., SEC Accounting, ESG/Impact, IR, audit, and vendors) to align on definitions, resolve data issues, and ensure metrics used in filings and impact reports tie back to trusted data sources
- Coordinate and collaborate closely with the partner-team Strategic Finance leads, other finance functions (Accounting, Tax, Investor Relations, Corporate Development) to develop models and deliver insights
- Develop meaningful analytics and reporting for our Executive leaders
- 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.
