What’s the role?

The Risk and Fraud team enables Etsy to grow sustainably by safeguarding the marketplace, creating fair and transparent risk experiences, and preventing financial loss at scale. You’ll take a multi-layered approach to understand the ways in which buyers and sellers introduce financial risk into our ecosystem, develop strategies and product experiences that balance the customer experience with the need to combat risk, and work with our engineering and enforcement teams to build solutions.

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.

What’s this team like at Etsy?

You will protect Etsy from financial loss and build buyer trust by helping to ensure all users feel secure when transacting on our marketplace. Your team builds capabilities that empower Etsy to manage risk at scale. You will partner closely with business leaders to establish the overarching product vision and strategy, ensure goals are met, and manage the constantly evolving environment of risk and fraud.

What does the day-to-day look like?

• Grow, lead, and empower a team of senior product managers, responsible for delivering end-to-end solutions that mitigate risk across a number of verticals including account security, seller risk, and checkout fraud

• Drive roadmaps that enable automation and our “machine learning first” approach to detection

• Represent Risk in initiatives led by other organizations, enabling the business to grow while ensuring we build appropriate product protections to maintain a trusted marketplace

• 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.

Qualities that will help you thrive in this role are:

• 10+ years of leadership experience in product management and development. Domain expertise in risk, fraud, payments, or marketplaces a plus

• Leading complex product initiatives, including ones that scale through machine learning and AI

• Demonstrating strategic thought leadership and industry expertise, responsible for the continuous improvement of our function in meeting the growing complexity and business needs to support Etsy's long term goals
