Role
Who you are
- This role requires a dual mentality: a strategic leader with a profound understanding of two-sided marketplaces, capable of deconstructing complex problems into clear frameworks, operating in ambiguity, and possessing strong data intuition and executive-ready communication skills. Simultaneously, you must be an embedded operator, ready to act decisively and hands-on
- 10+ years of related experience, including 5+ years at a top-tier management consulting firm or in a strategy & planning role at a major corporation
- Strong ability to drive partner alignment, develop strategy, and execute initiatives across a diverse cross-functional team structure
- High degree of ownership and commitment to results
- Industry experience in consumer goods, retail, e-commerce, or consumer tech; a passion for motors or eBay is strongly desired, or a perspective on how eBay can play a part in your life
- BA/BS required; MBA or similar graduate degree preferred
What the job involves
- EBay Motors is a dynamic, multi-billion dollar global portfolio encompassing Parts & Accessories (P&A), Business & Industrial, Vehicles, and WHI—a B2B Parts & Accessories marketplace in the US
- These categories are not only pivotal to eBay’s strategic future but are also at the forefront of market innovation and transformation. Our team has a proven track record of success, built on customer obsession, team spirit, and consistently exceeding financial goals
- This role is instrumental in bridging the global motors business with senior executives at eBay, including the C-suite, ensuring alignment and strategic focus
- You will lead growth initiatives within the Parts & Accessories business, support the eBay Motors leadership team, and drive accelerated growth across Global P&A
- Leveraging data and business case development, you will generate strategic insights and spearhead the execution of key initiatives with partners, ensuring excellence in planning, analytics, reporting, and collaboration across a vast cross-functional team
- Leadership: Lead a team of 4 managers and senior managers in developing P&A category strategies, leading global inventory intelligence, and driving business operations
- Strategy: Formulate P&A category strategies as part of annual planning and program strategies for key category initiatives, collaborating with operating teams to launch and scale
- Business Operations: Monitor business and funnel performance, and create materials and category narratives for senior leadership operating cadences, including monthly and quarterly business reviews
- Inventory Intelligence: Develop foundational data products to enhance understanding of P&A inventory on eBay, driving product experience and inventory optimization operations in partnership with Analytics, Commercial Operations, and Product teams
- Cross-functional collaboration: Enhance team operations and strategy by collaborating across all cross-functional partners, including category operators, corporate strategy, Analytics, Product, Marketing, and more
Our take
Founded in 1995 as an online auction platform primarily catering to collectibles, eBay quickly emerged as a pioneer in connecting buyers and sellers in the digital realm. This early success propelled eBay to become to globally recognized leader it is today.
In the present landscape, eBay competes with industry giants like Amazon within the C2C eCommerce sector. However, eBay distinguishes itself by fostering an environment where businesses can cultivate and promote their brands on the platform, offering a tailored, community-driven experience for both sellers and buyers. By championing small businesses, eBay attracts sellers and socially conscious consumers, positioning itself in stark contrast to Amazon's corporate image.
The rising consumer interest in sustainability has presented economic opportunities for eBay, particularly as younger demographics gravitate toward purchasing pre-owned items. in response, eBay has directed its marketing efforts toward Gen Z customers and formed partnerships with cultural phenomena like Love Island, further solidifying its appeal among contemporary audiences.
