The posting

Company Description 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. As an Etsy employee, you will tackle unique, meaningful, and large-scale problems alongside passionate coworkers, all the while making a rewarding impact and Keeping Commerce Human.

We believe exceptional companies are built by exceptional teams, and we're intentional about it. That means hiring great people, setting them up for success from day one, and giving them real reasons to grow their careers here. We invest in development that goes beyond promotions, and we foster the trust and relationships that help people do their best work together.

What's the Role?

Etsy is seeking a senior leader to grow our Creator and Affiliate ecosystem, including our in-house creator program and our broader Affiliate & Publisher Partnerships. This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of this work at Etsy.

You'll be responsible for growing these programs into scalable business channels that drive traffic, buyer acquisition, revenue, and brand relevance, while evolving the overall creator experience. The ideal candidate is a demonstrated industry leader with experience unifying owned creator relationships, external creator networks, and affiliate partnerships into a single strategy that drives awareness, engagement, and measurable growth. You'll focus on scaling creator recruitment and engagement within our in-house program, while growing creator marketing at scale through network partnerships. You'll also improve affiliate economics and partner quality, shape creator incentives and tooling, and connect a fragmented set of programs into one cohesive growth engine.

This role sits at the intersection of growth marketing, brand advocacy, creator strategy, product, and analytics, and requires someone who can manage a team capable of balancing program infrastructure with commercial performance. That means deep analytical and technical fluency, along with the ability to connect insights across teams, partners, and data sources into one coherent story.

This role reports to the Director of Influencer & Advertising Studio, and partners closely across Marketing, Product, Engineering, Analytics, Finance, CRM, and Paid Media stakeholders to drive results throughout the funnel.

What's This Team Like at Etsy?

The Influencer and Advertising Studio is Etsy's creator and content engine, leading full-funnel creator strategy and partnerships alongside Etsy's award-winning in-house content studio. This team covers everything from UGC to celebrity talent partnerships to the paid, social, and brand content that brings Etsy's story to life.

What Does the Day-to-Day Look Like?

  • Manage the teams that own Creator Program and publisher affiliate program strategy and execution
  • Build growth plans for creator recruitment, engagement, retention, and monetization, working to scale Etsy’s in-house ambassador program
  • Guide external network and publisher strategy (LTK, ShopMy, Mavely, YouTube Affiliate, and affiliate partners), including incentives, commission structures, and promotional planning
  • Grow and optimize Etsy's global Affiliate program, deepening partnerships across more than 100 countries
  • Partner with Product/Engineering on tooling priorities and with Analytics on incrementality, attribution, halo impact, and testing roadmaps
  • Align cross-functional strategy across Marketing, Product, Engineering, Analytics, Finance, CRM, and Paid Media
  • Own portfolio performance and the story behind it — from discovery metrics to GMS efficiency and incrementality — and bring that narrative to senior leadership
  • Mentor and grow a high-performing team, and foster a culture of testing and learning that shapes where Etsy invests next in the creator and affiliate landscape
  • Of course, this is just a sample of the kinds of work this role will require! You should assume that your role will encompass other tasks, too, and that your job duties and responsibilities may change from time to time at Etsy's discretion, or otherwise applicable with local law.

Qualities That Will Help You Thrive in This Role

  • 10-12+ years in creator, influencer, and affiliate marketing, in-house or at an agency or network; experience building in-house creator programs is ideal
  • Deep understanding of the creator and influencer landscape, plus affiliate and partnership economics (CPA, commission and override structures, attribution)
  • Experienced people manager with a track record of building and leading high-performing teams
  • Strategic, creative thinker who has designed program structures — tiering, commission logic, creator segmentation — from scratch, and built high-value partnerships that reach new, incremental audiences
  • Hands-on experience designing and reading incrementality tests (holdout/geo-based, matched-market), and comfortable building and defending a GMS/revenue forecast to finance and senior leadership
  • Understands the limits of last-click attribution in a creator/affiliate context and how correction models work, along with affiliate network infrastructure (e.g., Impact, Rakuten, AWIN, Partnerize) and how bidding and commission structures actually get optimized
  • Proven success partnering across teams — Product & Engineering, Comms, Brand Strategy, Advertising Creative — to deliver shared goals
  • Highly collaborative, with a passion for Etsy's mission to keep commerce human and support the creativity of small business owners

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
