What’s this team like at Etsy?

We are passionate about delivering exceptional customer service and outstanding outsourcing solutions for Etsy. We are first-principles thinkers and agile problem solvers who lead strategic cross-functional initiatives for this organization. You will help refine the team’s strategic direction and operational cadence.

What does the day-to-day look like?

• Develop the strategy, objectives, prioritization and roadmap for the project/program you own. Act as an ambassador for the broader ecosystem of partner teams (within and outside CSS).

• Build and maintain standards of collaboration and optimization of information flows for the program (what are the program’s objectives, why is it meaningful, and when-where-how do we meet, communicate & decide). You define collaborators (and RACIs when relevant) and make sure that all collaborating teams are set up for success.

• Communicate initiative status, progress & roadblocks to key collaborators proactively and at the right time intervals.

• Amidst resource constraints, facilitate critical tradeoff decisions on behalf of CSS leadership across operations and technology initiatives
