Company Description

Etsy is the global marketplace for unique and creative goods. We build, power, and evolve the tools and technologies that connect entrepreneurs with buyers around the world. Etsy, Inc.'s 'house of brands' portfolio has expanded to now include four individually distinct ecommerce brands -- Etsy, fashion resale marketplace Depop, musical instrument marketplace Reverb, and Brazil-based handmade goods marketplace Elo7. As an Etsy employee, you'll tackle unique problems alongside talented coworkers committed to Keeping Commerce Human. We're large enough that you'll focus on meaningful, complex challenges, but small enough that you can make a rewarding impact.

Job Description

What’s the role?

As a two sided marketplace we design and build the tools to help our sellers be as successful in their business as possible. A key component of running an Etsy shop is using our ads platform. 

We’re looking for a skilled Lead Product Designer with an ads product experience background to support our Seller Ads Experience. This team works to build clear and simple yet empowering tools that assist sellers in managing the promotion of their items on the Etsy shopping experiences.

Through detailed market and user research, you’ll explore, ideate, validate, and build products that support both our user and business needs. We are looking for someone who can work closely with engineering and product partners while coordinating and strategizing with many product teams across Etsy. 

This is a full-time position reporting to the Product Design Manager. For this role, we are considering candidates based in United States who are either remote, flex, or office-based. Etsy offers different work modes to meet the variety of needs and preferences of our team. Learn more about our flexible work options and vaccination policy here.

What’s product design like at Etsy?

Typically, product designers at Etsy work in a squad with a product manager, 3-5 engineers, researcher and analyst. Together they drive their own part of Etsy, deliver solutions to challenging problems and get feedback directly from customers. 

What does the day-to-day look like?

  • Discovering insights, opportunities, and requirements

  • Testing prototypes and hypotheses with users to collect feedback

  • Launching experiments and evaluating how they perform and how to iterate

  • Presenting your work to peers and leadership, async and in-person

  • Taking part in weekly design critiques, workshops, all hands and squad meetings

  • Thinking and writing about your process and documenting your decisions 

  • 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.

Qualifications

Lead/Staff level at Etsy means:

  • You raise the design bar by running independently and leveling up and giving direction to designers within your team
  • You can propose new, high-impact design initiatives, lead workshops and effectively align the group around a vision and approach
  • You have a track record of leading through ambiguity and designing complex flows and customer journeys
  • You embody design quality, understand what success looks like and know how to execute to launch impactful experience change
  • You can think and design at a system level and improve how squads work with our design system
  • You’ll regularly make use of your soft skills to persuade and build alignment: listening, negotiating, decision-making
  • You’ll spend time providing leadership and mentorship to other designers who seek out your expertise
  • You’ll play a key part in hiring, onboarding, and improving our team’s culture and engagement

Qualities that will help you thrive in this role are:

  • Effective articulation of ideas and design solutions
  • Expressing feedback with kindness and candor
  • Tolerance for ambiguity and healthy curiosity
  • Translation of quantitative & qualitative insights into design decisions
  • Contribution to our culture: motivation, optimism, quality, integrity
