Position Summary

The Global Verticals Strategy & Operations organization plays an instrumental role in accelerating growth and scale across this portfolio. The team sits at the center of the organization and ensures cross-functional operational excellence as well as shaping the strategy in support of the Global Verticals leadership.

Members of the team have a dual mentality: both that of a strategic leader—who has a deep understanding of the dynamics of two-sided marketplaces, can break down tough problems into clear frameworks, operate in ambiguity, and possesses strong data intuition and executive-ready communications—as well as someone who can move quickly and decisively as an embedded operator not afraid to get their hands dirty.

We are looking to hire a Manager for planning & business operations spanning across all verticals. This person will report into the Director of Planning & Business Operations for Global Verticals.

• Contribute to the creation of executive presentation materials for global verticals leadership up through the eBay c-suite
• Proactively identify and solution process improvements focused on creating a more effective and efficient global verticals organization
