About the role & teame

Bay Motors is a multi-billion dollar, global portfolio comprising the Parts & Accessories (P&A), Business & Industrial, Vehicles, and WHI (a B2B Parts & Accessories marketplace in US) businesses. These categories are not only among the largest on eBay and core to eBay’s strategic future but also are actively innovating in the market and  Director, UK P&A, will report to and partner closely with the GM, Europe Parts & Accessories, to deliver the category strategy and plan for eBay’s P&A business in the UK.

You will directly lead the UK P&A team, owning the most critical initiatives in the UK business through solid-line, dotted-line, and horizontal/matrix leadership.

As a senior leader within the team, the role demands a dual mentality: both that of a strategic leader—who has a deep understanding of the dynamics of two-sided marketplaces, can break down tough problems into clear frameworks, operate in ambiguity, and possesses strong data intuition—as well as someone who can move quickly and decisively as an embedded operator not afraid to get their hands dirty.

Broad functional skills with demonstrated success in multidisciplinary leadership including marketing, product, and operations is a must-have.
