JOB DESCRIPTION
About The Team
BuyerX brings together the experiences that help buyers discover, evaluate, purchase, and continue engaging with the unique items and people they find on Etsy. Depending on team needs, your work may focus on areas such as Listings, Landings, Post-Purchase, or Conversations & Co-Creation.
About The Role
You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Research, Analytics, Content, Brand, and other Design partners to identify meaningful customer problems and turn them into clear, useful, and high-quality experiences. You’ll work from early discovery through launch and iteration—using research, data, prototyping, experimentation, and strong product judgment to improve the buyer journey.
This role is a great fit for a designer who can lead work independently, bring clarity to complex customer journeys, and balance thoughtful craft with the needs of a fast-moving, highly collaborative product team.
This is a full-time role reporting to the Senior Manager of Product Design, Buyer X.

- Experience designing complex flows and customer journeys, from early exploration through production and iteration.

- A commitment to building inclusive experiences and contributing to a culture of motivation, optimism, quality, and integrity.
