What’s this team like at Etsy?

The Payments team is a critical group within Etsy. One of its core responsibilities is accurately collecting and remitting tax on behalf of Etsy's customers in the markets that we operate. To perform this role, Etsy also needs to collect and verify tax information from sellers while providing them with accurate tax reporting capabilities to support their tax filings. In this role, you’ll partner with an engineering team as well as cross-functional partners to create and implement a tax compliance strategy to meet these obligations while minimizing friction for Etsy’s buyers and sellers across the marketplace.

What does the day-to-day look like?

• Partner with engineering, analytics, design, and other teams (Tax, Accounting, Finance, etc) to define and prioritize the highest impact projects.

• Develop, own, and manage the roadmap for the tax team.

• Communicate plans and commitments to partners on an ongoing cadence.

• Drive the squad's execution by collaborating closely with engineering and analytics partners, having ownership over the performance (and measurement) of the team’s product and operational experiences, including impact to the business and our customers.

• Integrate analysis and customer feedback into product requirements to ensure products satisfy customer needs, as well as wants.

• 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:

• 3+ years of experience leading product initiatives.

• Familiar with using qualitative and quantitative data to make product decisions. You also know when and how to balance data with intuition.

• Knowledge of tax platforms and/or related vendor integrations is a strong plus.

• Passionate about solving real customer problems. You are an advocate for the needs of customers and work to minimize any negative impacts to the customer experience.

• Natural collaborator who knows how to drive decision-making with Engineering, Product Design, and analytics.

• A passionate member of the Etsy community and someone who believes in Etsy’s vision, mission and values!
