Job description

At eBay, we're more than a global ecommerce leader — we’re changing the way the world shops and sells. Our platform empowers millions of buyers and sellers in more than 190 markets around the world. We’re committed to pushing boundaries and leaving our mark as we reinvent the future of ecommerce for enthusiasts.

Our customers are our compass, authenticity thrives, bold ideas are welcome, and everyone can bring their unique selves to work — every day. We're in this together, sustaining the future of our customers, our company, and our planet.

Join a team of passionate thinkers, innovators, and dreamers — and help us connect people and build communities to create economic opportunity for all.

About the team and the role:

eBay’s Design organization creates seamless, end-to-end experiences that connect millions of buyers and sellers globally. The team is customer-focused, collaborative, and driven by curiosity—working across product, engineering, and business to solve complex problems and deliver meaningful impact.

As a Director, Design, you will enable teams working on eBay’s most important initiatives to deliver high-quality, impactful experiences. While Principal, Design team members define product direction and outcomes, you as the Director, Design are accountable for how effectively teams operate—building strong talent, improving collaboration, and raising the quality and consistency of design across the organization. This role is a force multiplier, scaling impact through people, craft, and ways of working.

What you will accomplish:

  • Increase team effectiveness by driving clarity, focus, and strong ways of working across design, product, and engineering

  • Raise the quality and consistency of design through thoughtful direction, critique, and shared standards

  • Build and grow a high-performing, inclusive team, strengthening talent, engagement, and long-term capability

  • Develop designers into confident, independent contributors and future leaders through coaching and feedback

  • Improve cross-functional collaboration, reducing friction and enabling faster, higher-quality decision-making

  • Create an environment where teams can navigate ambiguity, maintain momentum, and deliver consistently

What you will bring:

  • 15+ years of experience leading and developing cross-functional design teams, with a focus on building inclusive, high-performing environments

  • Strong hiring and talent management skills, including coaching, feedback, and supporting career growth

  • Ability to plan and allocate resources effectively, with a clear understanding of team capacity and priorities

  • Solid design judgment, with the ability to guide, critique, and elevate work quality across a team

  • Proven ability to improve team effectiveness and ways of working in complex, fast-moving environments

  • Comfort navigating ambiguity, making informed decisions, and collaborating across distributed, global teams
