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 Director, Design Systems, you will lead the team responsible for building and evolving eBay's design system. In partnership with the Principal, Design Systems, who sets the strategic direction for the practice, you will focus on building the team, talent, and environment needed to deliver that vision at scale.
You will be a hands-on people leader and coach-developing designers, strengthening craft, shaping the team as its needs evolve, and creating the clarity and accountability required to do exceptional work.
What you will accomplish:
  • Build and lead a high-performing Design Systems team, creating an inclusive, accountable environment where designers can do their best work and grow.
  • Coach and develop team members at every level and expertise, strengthening craft, systems thinking, leadership skills, and career growth through consistent feedback and development.
  • Shape the team for the future, identifying the skills, roles, and capabilities needed as eBay's design system and product ecosystem evolve.
  • Turn strategy into strong execution, partnering with the Principal to translate the Design Systems vision into clear team priorities, ownership, and outcomes.
  • Raise the bar for craft and quality, providing strong design direction and critique while building a culture of shared standards and continuous improvement.
  • Strengthen partnership across Design, Product, and Engineering, creating clarity, resolving friction, and enabling the team to deliver effectively at scale.
  • Improve team effectiveness, evolving ways of working, capacity, and resource allocation to increase focus, velocity, and impact.

What you will bring:
  • Significant experience (15+ years) leading and developing design teams, ideally within design systems, platform, or complex product environments.
  • A strong track record of hiring, coaching and growing designers, including senior and highly experienced talent.
  • Deep understanding of design systems and product design, with the craft judgment to guide teams and raise the quality bar.
  • Experience shaping team structure, capabilities and talent to meet evolving organizational needs.
  • Strong people leadership skills, with the ability to create clarity, accountability, engagement and trust.
  • Proven ability to partner effectively across Design, Product, and Engineering in complex, matrixed organizations.
  • Strong judgment and communication skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity, resolve challenges and help teams maintain momentum.
