About the job

Looking for a company that inspires passion, courage, and creativity—where you can help shape the future of global commerce? Join eBay and play a leadership role in building one of the world’s largest and most trusted automotive marketplaces.

eBay is a global commerce leader connecting millions of buyers and sellers. We enable economic opportunity for individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses of all sizes, supported by a strong culture of customer focus, bold thinking, and accountability.

About the opportunity

Parts & Accessories (P&A) is one of the most strategic and largest categories within eBay. The US represents eBay’s largest P&A market globally and is a critical driver of long-term growth.

Sr. Category Management, US P&A will report to and partner closely with Director Category Management, US Parts & Accessories, to deliver the category strategy and execution plan for eBay’s P&A business in the US. This individual will lead some of the most critical initiatives in the US business through solid-line, dotted-line, and matrix leadership.

This role demands a dual approach: that of a strategic leader—who deeply understands the dynamics of two-sided marketplaces, can break down complex problems into clear frameworks, operate effectively in ambiguity, and demonstrates strong data intuition—as well as that of an operator who can move quickly and decisively, and is not afraid to get their hands dirty.

What You Will Accomplish:

  • Drive GMV/GMB growth and inventory health for the US P&A business
  • Partner with the P&A leadership team to define the 1–3 year category strategy, and identify and execute against key opportunities
  • Deliver the most comprehensive catalog of P&A inventory (“every part for every vehicle”)
  • Partner closely with cross-functional teams (Product & Technology, Finance, Account Management) to deliver an outstanding end-to-end customer experience
  • Attract and retain buyers and sellers, with a particular emphasis on the sell-side of the marketplace
  • Lead seller strategy across enterprise sellers, distributors, manufacturers, and SMBs
  • Improve customer satisfaction by addressing inventory gaps, sourcing supply, and enhancing quality and trust in P&A

What You Will Bring:

  • 6+ years in Category Management
  • BA/BS required, post-graduate business degree (for example MBA) a plus
  • Excellent analytical skills
  • Broad functional experience with proven success in leading teams with varied strengths including product, operations, customer insights, and seller/account management
  • Excellent decision-making skills, focused on identifying and prioritizing the highest impact opportunities with imperfect information using the data available
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to tell an elegant story backed by data and provide leadership-ready recommendations
  • Personal passion for eBay and the automotive industry
