About The Position
Looking for a company that inspires passion, courage, and creativity—where you can help shape the future of global commerce? Join eBay and play a leadership role in building one of the world’s largest and most trusted automotive marketplaces. eBay is a global commerce leader connecting millions of buyers and sellers. We enable economic opportunity for individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses of all sizes, supported by a strong culture of customer focus, bold thinking, and accountability. About the opportunity Parts & Accessories (P&A) is one of the most strategic and largest categories within eBay. The US represents eBay’s largest P&A market globally and is a critical driver of long-term growth. The Director, Category Management, US P&A will report to and partner closely with the GM, US Parts & Accessories, to deliver the category strategy and execution plan for eBay’s P&A business in the US. This individual will lead the category management team, owning some of the most critical initiatives in the US business through solid-line, dotted-line, and matrix leadership. As a senior leader, this role demands a dual mindset: that of a strategic leader—who deeply understands the dynamics of two-sided marketplaces, can break down complex problems into clear frameworks, operate effectively in ambiguity, and demonstrates strong data intuition—as well as that of an operator who can move quickly and decisively, and is not afraid to get their hands dirty.
