About the team and the role:The Global Business Selling & Stores team, as part of eBay's Global Markets organization, is responsible for helping sellers start and grow their businesses on our platform and delivering a value proposition that attracts and retains sellers, from small entrepreneurs to global brands. We partner with teams across the enterprise to drive our strategic priorities forward, deliver on our promise and give sellers confidence in being successful, profitable, and protected on our marketplace.
We are looking for a Manager of Global Business Seller Strategy & Operations to own the strategy for seller discovery and seller storefronts on eBay. This role will report into the head of Global Business Selling & Stores Strategy and will lead key initiatives that support the business selling experience and drive success for our sellers. The Global Business Selling & Stores team is a team of strategic leaders, setting the direction for our business segment, but also embedded operators, not afraid to roll up our sleeves to achieve our goals. We are a team that pride ourselves on our ability to flex to business priorities - 'general athletes' who learn quickly and drive progress - and relentlessly advocate for the sellers we serve. In this role, you will build and execute strategies that deliver on key business objectives and tackle critical needs for our sellers, globally, through deep collaboration with partner teams, particularly with our product and technology team.

- A structured thinker that can break down ambiguous problems into tangible solutions and actionable plans.
- An exceptional communicator (verbal and written) who can modulate to different audiences and objectives
What you will bring: - Demonstrated intellectual curiosity about this area of work (ecomm, marketplace, tech) and empathy / a natural instinct to help our sellers and solve their problems. Experience as a seller (casually or beyond) is a plus.
- Track record of bringing initiatives from ideas to execution and strong ability to build and implement project plans
- You are collaborative and candid, and are able to influence cross-functional partners through domain expertise, quality work, and quality relationships
- 6+ years of related experience. Experience in management consulting or related business strategy role at a major corporation a plus
