Senior Product Designer, Customer Resolution

Posted on: 3 Feb 2021

Brooklyn, NY

Job Description

What’s the role?

The Customer Resolutions team builds and maintains experiences that help Etsy customers quickly resolve their issues through intuitive, seamless self-service tools and support experiences. Through rigorous market and user research, you’ll explore, ideate, validate, and build products to support the needs of both sides of our marketplace—our buyers and sellers—and internal partners.

You’ll work with our teams that improve everything from account management and our help center, to helping our sellers understand service standards and tools for our internals teams to keep the marketplace safe.  We’re looking for someone who can take complex processes and interactions and make them intuitive and streamlined while thinking about the entire customer journey.

What's Product Design like at Etsy?

Typically, product designers at Etsy work in a squad with a product manager, 3-7 engineers, researcher and analyst. Together they drive their own part of Etsy, deliver solutions to challenging problems and get feedback directly from customers. 

Day to day, it looks like: 

Discovering insights, opportunities, and requirements

Testing prototypes and hypotheses with users to collect feedback

Launching experiments and evaluating how they perform and how to iterate

Presenting your work to peers and leadership, async and in-person

Taking part in weekly design critiques, workshops, all hands and squad meetings

Thinking and writing about your process and documenting your decisions

Qualifications

Senior level at Etsy means:

You can run independently or give direction to designers within your team

You can lead workshops and optimally align the group around a vision and approach

You have a track record of designing complex flows and customer journeys

You can think and design at a system level, not just interface elements or pages

You’ll regularly make use of your soft skills: listening, negotiating, decision-making

You’ll spend time providing mentorship to other designers

You’ll play a key part in hiring, onboarding, and improving our team’s culture and engagement

Qualities we value in designers:

Effective articulation of ideas and design solutions

Expressing feedback with kindness and candor

Tolerance for ambiguity and healthy curiosity

Translation of quantitative & qualitative insights into design decisions

Contribution to our culture: motivation, optimism, quality, integrity
