About The Position

The Strategy Lead will play a pivotal role in shaping and driving the strategic direction of eBay’s Global Communications organization. This role partners closely with the Director Global Communications Business Ops and Strategy to define priorities, establish operating rhythms, and ensure the team’s work is tightly aligned with eBay’s enterprise strategy and business goals.

Requirements

• Exceptional written and verbal communication; able to craft clear, persuasive narratives for executive audiences.
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and drive alignment among senior stakeholders.
• Experience in consulting, comms strategy, or business planning is critical.

• Partner with Comms LT to define and evolve the operating model and capabilities needed to deliver on our mission.

• Support the Director Global Comms and leadership team in developing materials for eLT discussions, strategic offsites, and enterprise communications forums.
• Define KPIs and dashboards to track progress against strategic goals and team effectiveness.
• Help articulate the 'why' behind our strategies — turning complexity into clear, compelling storytelling for internal audiences.
• Lead or support enterprise-level initiatives such as org design, leadership communications planning, or cross-functional collaboration efforts.
