Sr Mgr Partnerships – eBay Foundation

About The Team And The Role

The eBay Foundation exists to unleash the power of entrepreneurship and build economically vibrant and thriving communities. And, we’ve been doing it since 1998. Since 2021, eBay Foundation has embarked on a new strategic vision that will significantly increase our level of impact. From supporting organizations that give entrepreneurs the business know-how they need, to creating connections or providing the capital to start and grow their businesses — our strategy focuses on addressing and removing barriers that limit entrepreneurship for historically excluded communities.

By engaging with, and learning from the experts working in the field, we think about our approach in three broad categories: Provide access to resources, break down inhibitors to scale and participate in long-term systemic solutions. It is our aim to show up as trusted partners to the nonprofits and communities we serve, so it is critical that we act with intention and humility in everything — from our grantmaking to board representation and governance.

The eBay Foundation is responsible for setting the philanthropic strategy for eBay Inc, along with managing and inspiring employee connection to and participation in programs, such as matching gifts and Changemakers. We work closely with senior leadership, including the eBay Foundation Board of Directors and have high visibility in a fast-paced environment.

We are looking to hire a Senior Manager, Strategic Partnerships who will help guide the development of the Foundation’s strategy and continue to bring it to life. Working in partnership with Foundation leadership and the team, this includes managing relationships with existing grantees, researching and evaluating potential grantees, evolving our measurement philosophy, bringing partners together in ways that facilitate real conversation and community and helping us better tell the story of these partnerships internally and externally.

This is a fit for you if you are a strategic thinker who understands trust-based philanthropy, are comfortable in ambiguity, have excellent project management skills and can maintain strong attention to detail without losing the big picture. Within this role, you will have the ability to influence key elements of our strategy and help craft the future of the eBay Foundation.
