This role will flex across these problem spaces depending on business needs giving you the opportunity to define strategy and deliver impact across multiple high-leverage areas.
What does the day-to-day look like?
Product Strategy: Define the strategy and roadmap for a cohesive ML development experience at Etsy, ensuring consistency across data, training, eval and serving using insights from our ML product teams, competitive analysis and advancements in ML to prioritize most impactful investments. Drive semi-annual roadmap planning for your squad translating it to quarterly objectives and key results.
Product Execution: Drive operational excellence through biweekly sprint execution collaborating with engineers to iterate on our ML systems to simplify ML workflows and reduce friction in model development and deployment; work closely with product teams to validate and measure success.

Strong communication and collaboration skills to align stakeholders across engineering, machine learning and infrastructure teams.
Comfort navigating ambiguity and change in a dynamic, evolving organizational context.
Strong bias for action and impact: A proactive demeanor with a passion for creative problem solving. Comfortable navigating ambiguity while maintaining focus on delivering results that matter to buyers and the business.
