About the role

eBay Live is redefining how sellers engage customers through real-time commerce. We’re hiring a Senior Manager, Seller Success to build and operationalize solutions to reduce friction for our Live Sellers. As an Individual Contributor on the Seller Success team, you will operate as an internal consultant, parachuting into broken workflows, running root-cause analyses, and identifying scope of impact before designing and standing up fixes across multiple departments and cross-functional teams. You will build for scale, maintain a global perspective, and develop clean and repeatable tooling (SOPs, dashboards, change management plans, etc) to ensure process adoption before moving to the next highest-impact problem. Success will be measured by time-to-resolution, fix effectiveness, adoption at scale, and seller outcomes (GMV, retention, CSAT). As a Senior Manager, you will also drive discovery for ambiguous problems, design program KPIs and guardrails, and make cross-initiative tradeoffs to further the business unit’s overall strategy.

What you will accomplish:

• Develop Seller Strategy: Derive insights from internal and external data sources, drive discovery for complex problems, and deliver executive-level proposals and project roadmaps outlining issue prioritization, resource requirements, and project milestones. Support annual planning process, evangelizing needs to broader organization.
• Backlog Triage & Portfolio Management: Analyze a list of internal and external friction points in our strategic seller customer journey, size the impact of the problems, and recommend focus areas for issue resolution.
• Parachute Problem-Solving: Manage large, multi-threaded programs end-to-end. Lead short, focused engagements on top strategic priorities: map root causes, define deliverables and timeframes, set and track KPIs, identify and assign owners, and proactively identify and resolve program blockers.
• Build the Solution: Design the minimum viable fix and the globally scalable end-state across SOPs, templates, automation/tooling, and seller education & comms in accordance with seller strategy (e.g., onboarding assets, feature GTM support, Help Center content, Salesforce workflows). Install structural improvements in process, goals and governance practices to remove recurring blockers.
• Operationalize Globally: Stand up programs, best practices, and trainings across multiple resource models and org designs. Identify and implement process customization to accommodate for geography-specific localization needs. Drive adoption and change management across regions, establish light but real governance, and complete clean handoffs to steady-state owners.
• Influence & Unblock: Align and negotiate with cross-functional stakeholders including Category Management, Account Management, Global Customer Success, Product, Legal, Product Marketing, and Finance teams. Surface risks early, drive mitigation, and keep highly matrixed teams focused on value delivery.
• Measure & Learn: Define KPIs, tests, and track measures of success for all initiatives. Build instrument dashboards, run tests where feasible, publish ROI readouts, and feed insights into the Seller Success roadmap.
• Drive Seller Success: Keep the eBay Live Seller at the core of our work. Proactively identify opportunities to increase seller effectiveness by developing and implementing strategies to increase their Gross Merchandise Value, streaming hours, and other measures of success.

What you will bring:

• 7–9+ years in Strategy & Operations, program delivery, or consulting-style roles with building, scaling, and managing complex cross-functional programs
• Self-starter with a proven track record of developing strategy, managing dependencies, influencing executive-level leaders and driving ownership across cross-functional teams
• Strategic thinking capabilities, including the ability to share insights to inform business planning initiatives, develop cross-functional frameworks for success, and build cases for investment
• Strong analytical skills, a proven track record of translating insights into actionable strategic plans, and demonstrable experience of innovative problem-solving at scale
• Excellent organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills, including the ability to succinctly communicate complex problems to executive audiences, quantify issues and impact, and develop well thought-through resource asks and potential solutions
• A dynamic, proactive approach, an ability to create clarity out of ambiguity, and the desire to work in a fast-paced, evolving environment
• Nice to Haves: MBA or similar relevant experience, marketplace or live/creator commerce experience, and/or customer enablement experience within e-commerce
