The US P&A team is looking to hire an
Associate for the Strategy and Operations function, located in San Jose, CA and reporting to the Head of US P&A Strategy & Operations! The Strategy & Operations group for US P&A holds three primary directives: develop, own, and deliver central initiatives. It also provides insights on complex and ambiguous business topics and manages business review schedules. The Associate will contribute to the overall P&A team's success by supporting and leading major strategic projects, while also driving business reviews. This position involves using research and data, whether external or internal, to help develop strategic insights, compelling narratives, and convincing arguments. The role will also support execution of initiatives with key partners, while ensuring operational excellence in planning, analytics, reporting, project management, and collaboration across a broad cross-functional team. Our key partners include product, analytics, finance, monetization, account management, and business development, among many others.
The role demands a dual mentality: both that of a strategic thinker-who can break down tough problems into clear frameworks, operate in ambiguity, and possesses strong data intuition-as well as someone who can move quickly and decisively as an embedded operator not afraid to get their hands dirty. Those who are able to adapt quickly, internalize feedback, and prioritize continuous learning and self-development will excel in this role.
This role is an excellent opportunity for those looking to join a leading eCommerce marketplace, work closely and build relationships with proven and accomplished business leaders, deliver results that matter, grow their career, and innovate at the scale of a global organization for millions of buyers and sellers!
