Data Science - Analyst

About the Team and the Role

Our team helps shape the future direction of eBay by defining where we play, how we win, and how we create differentiated experiences for our customers. We focus on deeply understanding the needs of core buyers and translating those insights into strategies that strengthen eBay’s position in the market. To bring that strategy to life, we partner closely with Product, Technology, and regional business teams across the end‑to‑end customer experience.

Within this space, the View Item team plays a critical role in the buyer journey by helping customers evaluate products and make confident purchase decisions. As a Data Science Analyst supporting this domain, you will apply advanced analytics, experimentation, and machine learning to inform product strategy and influence roadmap decisions.

• Shape the View Item product roadmap by delivering insights and analytical thought leadership that influence product, engineering, and business decisions.
• Define and own success metrics, measurement frameworks, and experimentation roadmaps for key View Item product areas, helping the team make faster and more confident decisions.
• Apply advanced statistical methods and machine learning techniques to solve complex, ambiguous product and marketplace problems with meaningful buyer and revenue impact.
• Design, execute, and interpret A/B tests and other causal measurement approaches to evaluate product changes and identify opportunities to improve the buyer experience.
