About the team and the role:This role sits within eBay's Technical Program Management organization and is focused on orchestrating large, cross-domain initiatives that power our marketplace experience. You will partner closely with product, engineering, analytics, and non-technical collaborators to improve how we plan, prioritize, and deliver critical programs across eBay. Reporting into a senior TPM leader, you will codify and scale existing frameworks for capacity, dependencies, and release governance so multiple TPMs and domains can execute against a single, coherent roadmap. This is a high-impact, highly visible role based in San Jose, where you will balance strategic planning with hands-on execution in a culture that values ownership, collaboration, and sustainable work/life balance.What you will accomplish:- Lead consolidated annual and quarterly planning across domains, standardizing capacity frameworks, release abstractions, and intake governance so teams can reliably deliver against a unified roadmap.
- Define and operationalize a dependency taxonomy and governance model (including SLAs, dedication models, and dispute resolution) to improve organization-wide flow and reduce cross-team friction.
- Publish and maintain a cross-domain release roadmap with explicit walk-backs and contingency plans, improving forecast accuracy, roadmap adherence, and transparency for senior leadership.
- Establish and socialize standard cadences and artifact expectations (such as PRDs, build reviews, and dependency walkthroughs) that raise the bar on release readiness and quality.
- Build and own program health reporting and playbooks for managing blocking issues (e.g., forecast vs. actuals, risk heatmaps), and regularly present status, tradeoffs, and recommendations to senior leaders and collaborators.
- Mentor and enable TPMs by defining sprint/readiness standards and acceptable sprint-churn levels, driving capability uplift, institutionalizing retrospective rollups, and embedding "say/do" integrity and continuous improvement across the organization.
What you will bring:- 8+ years of technical program management or program leadership experience driving large, cross-functional, cross-domain programs in complex environments.
- Deep expertise in capacity planning, dependency governance, release readiness, and managing blocking issues at scale, with a track record of improving SLA adherence and delivery predictability.
- Advanced modeling and dashboarding skills (for example, Sheets/Excel at scale, with experience in Looker/Tableau and SQL preferred) to create clear, data-driven views of program health.
- Strong technical literacy with the ability to evaluate technical tradeoffs, surface risks early, and credibly influence engineering, product, and non-technical leaders.
- Demonstrated executive presence and collaborator management skills, including experience negotiating contracts and timelines with both technical and non-engineering partners.
- Proven ability to design repeatable program frameworks, lead organizational change, and coach TPMs; BS/MS or equivalent practical experience.
