eBay Advertising is a critical, multi-billion dollar strategic pillar for the company, offering innovative advertising solutions to sellers and brand partners.

We are looking to hire a Senior Manager of Strategy and Business Operations, at a Level 26 (L26), who will be instrumental in supporting the Global Advertising General Manager (GM) and leadership team. This role will focus on accelerating growth, shaping strategy, and ensuring operational excellence in planning, advanced analytics, and cross-functional performance management across the global Advertising portfolio.

• Synthesize and aggregate strategic data and performance insights from different product teams across the advertising portfolio to inform the unified global strategy.
• Lead deep dives on high-impact strategic and operational topics, ranging from diagnosis to execution.
• Build and own executive-ready presentations on strategy and operational updates for the Advertising business.
• Create operational consistency, processes, and alignment across the global portfolio.
• Partner closely with the central Strategy & Business Operations function and GMs to manage interdependencies, drive prioritization, and resolve cross-segment escalations.
• Own tracking and reporting of portfolio health, including Monthly Business Reviews (MBRs) and Weekly Business Reviews (WBRs), presented to the eBay global leadership teams.
• Cultivate deep cross-functional partnerships to ensure strategic and operational alignment with all major eBay teams and global initiatives.

• 6+ years of related experience, including 3+ years at a top-tier management consulting firm, investment bank, or in a strategy or planning role at a major corporation.
• Industry experience in Advertising/AdTech, Global Media, E-commerce, or consumer tech is highly preferred.
• BA/BS required, MBA or similar graduate degree preferred.
