As a key contributor to the Partnerships team, you will be responsible for managing and growing a portfolio of UK-based partners. You'll drive partner engagement, facilitate technical integrations, activate joint marketing efforts, and collaborate cross-functionally to support scalable growth.

Implement the UK partner growth strategy, identifying and activating high-potential technology and service partners.

Develop and implement go-to-market plans and joint initiatives—such as webinars, co-marketing campaigns, and events—to drive mutual business growth.
Collaborate with product and engineering teams to support API integrations and ensure scalable, efficient partner solutions.
Use data and insights to identify performance opportunities, influence internal roadmaps, and inform partner strategy.
Act as the key point of contact for internal cross-functional teams supporting partner success, including legal, analytics, and operations.
Represent eBay at partner meetings, conferences, and industry events in the UK, helping to build eBay’s partner brand in the market.
Advocate for partners internally, ensuring their needs and capabilities are well-understood across the organization.
What you will bring:
Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field; advanced degree a plus.
6-8+ years of experience in business development, partner management, or platform ecosystem roles—preferably in ecommerce, retail tech, or SaaS.
Demonstrated experience supporting or managing API-based integrations or platform-driven business models.
Strategic problem solver with a bias for action and strong execution skills.
Proven ability to manage multiple projects and partners in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
Strong analytical and communication skills with a data-driven approach to problem-solving.
Ability to collaborate and influence across diverse teams and partners.
