About The Position

At eBay, we're more than a global ecommerce leader — we’re changing the way the world shops and sells. Our platform empowers millions of buyers and sellers in more than 190 markets around the world. We’re committed to pushing boundaries and leaving our mark as we reinvent the future of ecommerce for enthusiasts. Our customers are our compass, authenticity thrives, bold ideas are welcome, and everyone can bring their unique selves to work — every day. We're in this together, sustaining the future of our customers, our company, and our planet. Join a team of passionate thinkers, innovators, and dreamers — and help us connect people and build communities to create economic opportunity for all. eBay’s Office of AI Transformation (OAIT) is driving eBay’s reinvention of how our internal work gets done, faster and better at enterprise scale. We partner across the company to turn AI into a practical advantage: introducing new AI capabilities, standing up agentic workflows, and discovering new ways to deliver value that weren’t feasible before. This is a team of builders and change leaders who want to define “how work gets done” for thousands of employees and see their work show up in everyday execution. If you want to shape how a global company evolves at the intersection of technology, people, and real execution, this is the team. As Director, AI Transformation, you will help move eBay from AI experimentation to measurable enterprise impact. You will work across business functions to identify the highest-value workflow opportunities, redesign work across people, process, technology, and support the deployment of AI-enabled solutions that improve speed and most importantly, customer outcomes. This is a senior, high-autonomy role that combines strategy with hands-on execution. You will help prioritize the right internal workflows, build repeatable playbooks, drive adoption across teams, and measure whether AI is actually changing outcomes. The role is about making sure eBay focuses on the highest return AI bets, scales what works, stops what does not, and makes the impact visible.
