At eBay, we have built one of the largest ad marketplaces in ecommerce, and one of the fastest-growing businesses within the company. We are on a mission to help sellers and brands of all sizes use advertising to drive meaningful impact for their businesses. We are accomplishing this by developing one of the most technology-powered ad marketplaces in the world.

As the Director of Product, Ad Targeting and Network, you will be responsible for the features that define who advertisers connect with and where.

In this role, you will develop eBay’s mid- and upper-funnel business through collaboration with brands, agencies, and ecosystem partners. You will build distinct retail and commerce media products and drive brand advertising growth toward eBay’s next billion-dollar opportunity.

You will achieve this by bringing to bear traditional and generative AI to build step-changes in our product capabilities. You will lead and grow a world‑class team and collaborate with leaders across eBay to ensure that advertising acts as a force multiplier for the entire marketplace. We seek a visionary leader prepared to explore new horizons in ad tech. The candidate should have strong ambition and persistence to influence our sellers, buyers, and eBay’s overall performance.
