About the Role
At eBay, we're more than a global ecommerce leader — we’re changing the way the world shops and sells. Our platform empowers millions of buyers and sellers in more than 190 markets around the world. We’re committed to pushing boundaries and reinventing the future of ecommerce for enthusiasts. Our customers are our compass, authenticity thrives, bold ideas are welcome, and everyone can bring their unique selves to work every day. Join a team of passionate thinkers, innovators, and dreamers to help connect people and build communities that create economic opportunity for all.

eBay is re-imagining the future of e-commerce by building a trusted marketplace.

We are now expanding the reach of our world-class authentication infrastructure.

You will join the Program Management team within Authenticity Guarantee Operations to lead critical strategic initiatives. This fast-paced, high-impact role involves driving go-to-market (GTM) planning and execution to bring AG to more customers in new categories and managing the programs post-launch.
