Salary Range: $ - $

As a Senior Technical Program Manager at Etsy, you will be a key driver in the planning and execution of complex, cross-functional technical programs across a range of engineering domains, including Infrastructure, Machine Learning Enablement, Apps, Payments, and Search.

In this role, you're not just coordinating timelines, you're determining the "how" of execution. You'll identify the right frameworks, structure team engagement, unblock dependencies, and build strong alignment across technical teams. You'll lead delivery through ambiguity, helping ensure we make steady progress on high-impact technical work while adapting to change and surfacing risks early.

This is a hands-on role that requires developing technical insight, exercising influence, and communicating with clarity. You'll work closely with Engineering Managers, Product Managers, Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), and fellow TPMs to steer projects from early planning through to delivery. Additionally, you'll help foster a strong team culture by mentoring junior TPMs and setting the standard for effective, reliable execution.

This role is ideal for someone who is a natural collaborator, technically fluent, highly organized, and thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

This is a full-time position reporting to the Senior Manager, Technical Program Management. In addition to salary, you will also be eligible for an equity package, an annual performance bonus, and our competitive benefits that support you and your family as part of your total rewards package at Etsy.

For this role, we are considering candidates based in the United States. Candidates living within commutable distance of Etsy's Brooklyn Office Hub may be the first to be considered. For candidates within commutable distance, Etsy requires in-office attendance once or twice per week depending on your proximity to the office. Etsy offers different work modes to meet the variety of needs and preferences of our team.
