Job Summary

Own and drive the Etsy Display program end to end, leading campaign build, feed optimization, bid management, and cross-functional collaboration.

  • Own the end-to-end campaign lifecycle from setup to optimization.
  • Collaborate across product, analytics, and finance to shape the roadmap.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Campaign Build & Execution: Build, launch, and QA campaigns, including creative tracking, catalog updates, audience implementation, and pixel/tag checks.
  • Feed & Catalog Management: Oversee and optimize large-scale product feeds and their DPA ad campaigns through automated ad solutions.
  • Bid & Budget Optimization: Implement bid and budget optimizations to maximize performance within a fixed efficiency constraint.
  • Performance Monitoring: Monitor real-time performance dashboards, flag anomalies, log fixes with the broader team, and share platform-level reporting summaries.
  • Platform Hygiene: Maintain platform hygiene through UTMs, naming conventions, and block-lists, documenting every change for auditability.
  • Continuous Improvement: Contribute to broader team improvements by logging lessons learned and proposing ways to increase efficiency and scalability.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with cross-functional partners across product and engineering, data analytics, and strategic finance to shape the vision and roadmap for Etsy's display ads program.

Requirements

  • 2 to 4 years of proven success leading all aspects of large-scale digital ad campaigns (GDN, DV360, or MSAN preferred) against specific goals.
  • Platform Familiarity: Hands-on experience with display ad platforms (e.g. Google Ads, Microsoft Ads) and/or feed-based marketing channels; search experience (Google or Microsoft) is a strong adjacent fit. Fluency in the fundamentals (CPC, CPM, ROAS) expected.
  • Ownership Mentality: You will act as the \"CEO\" of the Display program, owning it end to end and balancing long-term vision with short-term optimizations.
  • Extreme Attention to Detail: You take pride in precision and double-checking your work, because a small error can have an outsized impact on a campaign or channel.
  • Strong Analytical Drive: Comfort getting into the data yourself, including entry-level SQL, sophisticated attribution models (multi-touch, LTV, frequency), and major analytics platforms (Google Analytics, Looker, Tableau). Fluency with AI tools (e.g. Claude, Cursor) to accelerate analysis and code, with the judgment to QA the output.
  • Technical & Platform Depth: Experience with product catalogs of 1M+ SKUs and identifying high-impact feed optimizations, plus marketing technology platforms such as MMPs (e.g. AppsFlyer, Branch) and CDPs (e.g. Segment, LiveRamp).
  • Collaborative Communicator: Ability to communicate operational realities, timelines, and technical requirements to cross-functional partners clearly and proactively, while juggling multiple requests to hit campaign launch deadlines.
  • Scrappy & Curious: A proactive, fast learner who isn't afraid to click around a new platform or dig into documentation to solve a problem. Process-driven and constantly looking to minimize waste and address inefficiencies.
