The Ads product team is on a mission to deliver a world-class advertising platform that accelerates the flywheel for buyers and sellers on and off the eBay marketplace. If you’re excited about shaping the way great products come to life and improving experiences for millions of customers, we’d love for you to join us!

As a Senior Manager, Program Manager on the Ads product team, you will play a key role in driving planning and execution across several cross-functional initiatives. You will collaborate with product, design and business stakeholders to deliver complex projects that move the company forward. You will bring strong execution discipline and growing technical fluency to help teams stay aligned, make smart tradeoffs, and deliver impactful results. You will have experience in AI driven execution, and you will thrive in a fast evolving product team. This role is ideal for someone who has independently led complex programs and is ready to expand their strategic influence and operational rigor.

What you will accomplish:

• Independently drive execution of large, cross-functional projects, managing end-to-end delivery with minimal oversight

• Build multi-quarter plans in collaboration with product and engineering leads, guiding estimation and tradeoffs

• Enable execution readiness by ensuring clarity around goals, timelines, and handoffs; proactively flag risks or misalignments

• Champion the use of AI tools (e.g., Claude, specialized planning GPTs) to automate status reporting, analyze project risks, and streamline documentation, advancing PMO practices with AI

• Track and manage project milestones, risks, and dependencies using clear, reliable tooling

• Introduce scalable execution practices, such as risk logs, intake processes, or RASCI documentation that improve delivery hygiene and reduce team friction

• Proactively resolve delivery risks and operational issues to keep initiatives on track.

• Lead prioritization discussions with cross-functional partners, supporting data-driven and customer-centered decisions.

• Communicate clearly and confidently across engineering, product, and executive audiences.

• Ensure alignment across teams and surface key decisions, blockers, and progress updates

• Identify and implement tools, workflows, or process improvements that increase delivery speed and clarity

What you will bring:

• 10+ of experience with 8-10 years specific to PMO experience, including ownership of complex, multi-team initiatives

• Strong technical fluency and deep understanding of the product development lifecycle, technical dependencies, and risk management, enabling credible contribution to engineering conversations

• Domain experience in Ads products at marketplaces, e-commerce, or high-scale consumer platforms is strongly preferred

• Experience driving execution across distributed teams. Trusted cross-functional partner who can influence without authority by keeping teams aligned, informed, and unblocked

• Strong communicator and facilitator; comfortable navigating ambiguity and influencing decisions.

• Familiarity with technical architecture, system design, and tradeoff conversations.

• Proficiency with program tracking and planning tools like JIRA, Airtable, or Confluence. Eager to learn on the latest AI technologies such as Claude and Figma Make
