Staff Product Manager, Buyer ML
About the role
Etsy is the global marketplace for unique and creative goods. We build, power, and evolve the tools and technologies that connect millions of entrepreneurs with millions of buyers around the world.

This role reports directly to the VP of Buyer Experience, ensuring the work is resourced and sequenced for maximum impact.
