The Payments Product team operates at the intersection of trust, growth, and financial infrastructure. The team is organized into five specialized squads, each with deep ownership over a distinct dimension of the payments experience: Buyer Payment Experience focuses on how buyers pay — from checkout conversion and alternative payment method (APM) expansion (Apple Pay, Affirm, Revolut, CashApp) to guest checkout optimization and payment-related messaging. Money Movement works on the infrastructure that keeps payments flowing: authorization rate optimization, decline reattempts, payout redundancy and the path to 100% EP100 uptime, and launching new payment rails globally. Payments & Seller Compliance owns Etsy's regulatory and compliance obligations — seller identity verification, PCI compliance, and fraud-adjacent risk controls that protect both the marketplace and its sellers. Seller Financial Experience owns what it feels like to be a seller managing money on Etsy: financial holds, payment account design, manual billing, and the seller ledger — tools used by millions of sellers worldwide. Tax manages Etsy's global tax obligations, navigating marketplace facilitator laws, withholding tax, import fees, digital services tax, and 1099 reporting — in a regulatory landscape that never stops shifting. The culture is rigorous and collaborative. PMs run tight discovery cycles, work closely with stakeholders from day one, and are always expected to always keep the customer at the heart of their work. What does the day-to-day look like? Setting and evolving multi-year payments strategy — translating Etsy's North Star of accelerating the marketplace flywheel through trusted financial experiences into quarterly roadmaps across five squads.
