Role Overview: Strategy & Business Operations Lead, Fashion

As the Strategy & BizOps Lead for Fashion, you will play a pivotal role advancing the success of eBay’s Global Fashion programs. This is a high-leverage role for someone who can turn ambiguity into a crisp strategy, align senior stakeholders, and drive execution across Category, Product, Marketing, Analytics, and Engineering.

Using AI-enabled capabilities, you will lead work end-to-end—executive narratives and materials, strategic deep dives, and operational cadence—to translate priorities into measurable outcomes. You will report to the Director of Luxury.

What you’ll do

  • Set the growth agenda: Translate leadership priorities into a focused roadmap across jewelry, handbags, watches, sneakers, apparel, and accessories—defining what to win, where to invest, and how success is measured.

  • Run the business: Build and operate the operating rhythm (OKRs, weekly/monthly business reviews, initiative governance, decision logs) that drives clarity, accountability, and speed.

  • Lead strategic projects: Identify the biggest growth constraints (selection, price/value, conversion, seller activation, trust signals), quantify the opportunity, and drive cross-functional plans with clear owners and milestones.

  • Drive AI-enabled transformation: Identify where AI can unlock step-change outcomes (e.g., listing quality/attribute extraction, pricing guidance, personalized merchandising, counterfeit/risk detection, seller support automation), then partner with Product/Data/Eng to pilot, measure, and scale.

  • Create executive narratives: Produce tight, compelling materials for senior leaders—problem statements, options, tradeoffs, recommendations, and clear asks.

  • Unblock execution: Influence across teams, resolve tradeoffs, and ensure follow-through—especially when priorities compete.

What you bring

  • Management consulting background: Proven structured problem solving and executive-ready communication; experience leading complex, cross-functional workstreams from strategy to execution.

  • AI experience: Led or partnered on GenAI/ML initiatives with measurable impact (e.g., automation, model-driven workflows, analytics/decisioning, experimentation, or product features).

  • Strong operator and program leader: Builds operating systems, drives momentum, manages multiple priorities, and closes loops with rigor.

  • Analytical horsepower: Comfortable with messy data; able to synthesize quickly into actionable insights and clear recommendations.

  • Executive storytelling: Able to distill complexity into crisp narratives, decision points, and compelling materials for senior leadership.

  • Ecommerce fluency: Strong understanding of ecommerce/marketplace dynamics; Fashion and/or re-commerce experience is highly desirable.

  • Influence without authority: Navigates complex stakeholder environments and drives alignment across Category, Product, Marketing, Analytics, and Engineering.

  • Travel: Willingness to travel up to 30% of the time.
