Senior Manager, Strategy & Operations

eBay • San Jose, CA

7h

About The Position

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.
We are looking to hire a Senior Manager of Strategy and Operations, located in San Jose, CA who will support the eBay Motors leadership team and play an instrumental role in accelerating growth across the Motors’ portfolio of assets. The role will have a global remit as part of a Global Motors Strategy & Operations team. Specifically, the role will focus on driving growth in key Parts & Accessories initiatives to drive outsized growth globally, while also contributing to global reporting for the broader Motors portfolio. The role will utilize data and business case development to develop strategic insights and lead execution of key initiatives with key partners, while ensuring operational excellence in planning, analytics, reporting, and collaboration across a broad cross-functional team. Our key partners include product, marketing, analytics, finance, operations, pricing, and business development, among many others.
The role demands 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.
