What's the Role?

We are looking for an experienced Staff Product Manager to drive the long-term vision for our Risk Platforms team, to increase efficiency and effectiveness of the product and operation teams in our Risk & Fraud group.

The Staff PM will work with the Risk Platform engineering team, leading development on internal data services, rules engines, and threat response capabilities. The PM will help clarify the needs for Etsy engineers, empower our operations and controls analysts, and care deeply about the experience other product teams have using their products. Do you find happiness in understanding the challenges for product engineers and building scaled internal platforms used across an organization? If so, this could be the perfect match!

This is a full-time position reporting to the Director of Product Management. In addition to salary, you will also be eligible for an equity package, an annual performance bonus, and our competitive benefits that support you and your family as part of your total rewards package at Etsy.

For this role, we are considering candidates based in the United States. Candidates living within commutable distance of Etsy’s Brooklyn Office Hub or in the San Francisco Bay Area may be the first to be considered. For candidates within commutable distance, Etsy requires in-office attendance once or twice per week depending on your proximity to the office. Etsy offers different work modes to meet the variety of needs and preferences of our team. Learn more details about our  work modes and workplace safety policies here.

What does the day-to-day look like?

• Establish a vision for Risk Platforms at Etsy, incorporating feedback from internal users, and partnering closely with engineers to determine what’s feasible

• Define methods and metrics for measuring the success of the platforms, and communicate those metrics with senior leadership

• Work closely with engineering counterparts, translating requirements from business and engineering teams into technical needs that can lead to tools and platform solutions

• Lead the evolution of our risk platforms and tools to support internal Etsy engineering teams, analysts, and operations experts, considering buy/build/partner trade-offs and prioritizing the success of Etsy’s ability to combat the ever evolving fraud landscape.

• Provide structure to this large, complex space, and identify iterative steps that help users early and often, while still heading towards a long term vision

• 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 job duties and responsibilities may change from time to time at Etsy's discretion, or otherwise applicable with local law.

Qualities that will help you thrive in this role are:

• 7+ years of experience as a Platform Product Manager working in a technology-heavy role, including crafting the vision and strategy for the platforms you built

• A successful track record of partnering with engineering teams to build platforms and  tooling, with a deep understanding of data, performance, and services needs as well as technical governance (standards, compatibility, lifecycle management)

• The product intuition to hear and understand the needs of customers (internal Etsy engineers) AND their customers (Etsy buyers and sellers), to spot common trends and points of opportunity

• The confidence to be an equal participant very technical conversations, and to challenge engineering and analyst peers when appropriate; the ability to drive consensus and commit, even with all parties don’t agree

• Proven success communicating with diverse and senior leaders about delivery timelines, trade-offs, and risks

• A passion for new and emerging technologies, and an ear to industry trends

• Possible hands-on experience in the risk and fraud platform space

• A trust in and commitment to Etsy’s vision, mission and values.
