Senior Director of Product Management, Marketplace Payments

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. 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.

We are looking for an accomplished product leader with expertise in the Payments area to lead Etsy’s growing Payments Product team. As the Sr. Director of Product Management, Marketplace Payments, you will direct a team of Product Managers who build all aspects of our Payments ecosystem, including the seller finances, the buyer experience, infrastructure, 3rd party integrations, and compliance. You will partner closely with the VP of Payments to develop a product strategy, translate it into a roadmap, and drive plan execution. You will help create a vision for Etsy’s Payments that will lead us into the future.

We seek a candidate who is comfortable managing a large scope and who can seamlessly partner across the organization: with engineers, research, analytics, design, operations, finance, and others. You are an experienced manager who can build and elevate a team of hardworking Product Managers and Group Product Managers, located in New York and Dublin, Ireland. You are passionate about mentoring and you inspire a dynamic and impactful Product culture.

Do you have a desire to build outstanding products and tackle multifaceted payments challenges? If so, this could be the ideal match!
