The person will bring the discipline of a strategy consultant, the judgment of a talent advisor, and the product mindset needed to build repeatable executive experiences that can scale without losing the human nuance senior leadership work requires.
In 2026, the immediate focus will be to strengthen executive coaching as a measurable, high-impact product; support executive onboarding and transition experiences; and partner across Talent Success, PBPs, and business leaders to connect executive coaching and dev with succession, performance, and business priorities. Over time, this role should become a central place of how eBay designs for and supports senior leadership talent management.
