Role
Who you are
- Experience defining product strategy and building roadmaps with a focus on driving impact
- Successfully delivering business and customer value by executing in a fast-paced environment
- Curiosity for solving two-sided marketplace challenges
- A love for harnessing quantitative and qualitative data to tackle challenging problems, and experience running A/B tests
- Great communication and listening skills that enable you to build relationships with team members by developing empathy and trust, and influencing without authority
- 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
What the job involves
- We're looking for an outstanding product leader to help drive buyer frequency within our Growth organization at Etsy
- You will partner closely with design, engineering, research, and analytics to develop a strategy and roadmap to bring buyers back to Etsy more often
- Etsy is a two-sided marketplace with millions of sellers and tens of millions of buyers, so the problems we're tackling are complex
- We need someone who can dig deep to uncover new opportunities to move the needle for the business and our sellers, all while building a world-class shopping experience for buyers
- This role is part of the Buyer Frequency initiative within the Growth organization
- The Growth org is passionate about getting more buyers to experience the joy of shopping on Etsy more often
- We work across the full buyer journey and across all platforms to identify the highest impact opportunities for our buyers and sellers
- We partner closely with both the Marketing and the broader Product organization, and operate with an emphasis on rapid learning and iteration
- This is a full-time position reporting to the Staff Product Manager
- Craft a vision, define a roadmap, and prioritize product features via opportunity sizing, experimentation, and continuous iteration
- Collaborate with outstanding designers, engineers, user researchers, and data scientists to identify customer problems, test hypotheses, and build products that keep Etsy shoppers coming back
- Design experiments and track key health metrics to measure progress and impact, communicate plans and updates to cross-functional partners and leadership, and drive the execution and delivery of your team's roadmap
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. The recent hike in transaction fees and the introduction of mandatory marketing fees for artists with high turnovers has created significant discontent amongst sellers. Etsy must reconcile these issues to ensure artists continue to operate on the same scale within the platform. It plans to attract shoppers with its message of extraordinary, handmade and affordable products.
