• Build and manage a visual asset library for the Seller Engagement team, including templates and creative toolkits that enable fast, consistent content creation.

• Turn complex ideas into engaging visuals through layouts, infographics, and presentations.
• Use generative tools to prototype and repurpose assets quickly, ensuring alignment with eBay’s brand system.

4. Systems, Scale & Governance

• Build and evolve scalable design systems, templates, and documentation to support global consistency.
• Develop visual playbooks that define standards and guide internal teams.
• Identify automation opportunities that simplify workflows while preserving creativity and brand cohesion.

• Partner with Brand, Merchandising, and Creative Studio teams to ensure consistency across all visual touchpoints.
• Provide design guidance for new initiatives, helping teams translate ideas into polished, on-brand visuals.
• Act as a bridge between creative direction and scalable execution, ensuring systems empower — not replace — innovation.
