Role
Who you are
- 3–6+ years of experience in HR, with experience in HR Business Partnering or similar roles
- A strong relationship builder who influences through trust, clear communication, and sound judgment
- A thoughtful problem solver who connects business priorities, people strategies, and data to drive effective outcomes
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity and change, with the ability to prioritize and execute across multiple initiatives
- Skilled at managing sensitive situations with discretion, confidence, and empathy
- Experience coaching managers and supporting teams in dynamic, fast-paced environments
What the job involves
- As an HR Business Partner primarily supporting our Product and Engineering teams, you’ll play a key role in partnering with leaders to drive people strategies that enable business success
- . You’ll work closely with managers and leaders, providing thoughtful guidance on a wide range of people topics while helping to build engaged, high-performing teams. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys balancing hands-on execution with growing strategic exposure, and who takes pride in strong follow-through and delivering high-quality work
- We operate as thought partners, working side-by-side with leaders to understand business context and solve real challenges
- The team values ownership and follow-through which means we trust each other to take the lead and deliver high-impact work. You’ll learn from experienced Senior HRBPs and leaders, with opportunities to take on increasingly complex and strategic work as you grow
- We share knowledge openly, give direct and constructive feedback, and actively support each other’s development. There’s a strong sense of collaboration and flexibility and we step in where needed and navigate ambiguity together
- We’re continuously evolving how we work, iterating on HRBP processes, programs, and ways of working to improve impact
- Building trusted relationships with leaders, providing guidance on people topics while balancing business needs with employee experience
- Managing employee relations matters, handling standard issues independently and partnering with Senior HRBPs and Employee Relations on more complex cases
- Supporting and coaching managers through performance management, development conversations, and team effectiveness
- Leading talent processes such as performance cycles, talent planning, and succession discussions
- Partnering with Recruiting and cross-functional stakeholders to support workforce planning and headcount management
- Leading and executing team-level organizational changes, ensuring thoughtful planning, clear communication, and alignment with broader organizational goals
- Using data and insights to identify trends and inform recommendations, with support as needed
- Contributing to projects and initiatives that enhance the impact and scalability of the HRBP function
- 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.
