Position Summary
Fast moving, mission driven, and relentlessly focused on impact, eBay's Global Trust team ensures every interaction between millions of buyers and sellers is safe, fair, and reliable. We are redefining what trust means in a dynamic marketplace, delivering experiences that inspire confidence and empower economic opportunity for everyone. Our team of policy, strategy, and operations experts ensures expectations for both buyers and sellers are clear, easy to follow, and executed smoothly across eBay globally. It sounds simple, but at eBay's scale and speed it is anything but.
As Director of Trust for eBay Live, you will define and lead the end-to-end trust strategy, operating model, and execution plan for one of eBay's most important growth plays. Trust is the foundation of every interaction between buyers and sellers, and this is especially true in eBay Live, our rapidly scaling live commerce platform where people connect, interact, and transact in real time. You will shape how trust shows up across the full eBay Live experience, from policy and protections through moderation, standards, issue resolution, and post-transaction experiences, ensuring buyers and sellers participate with confidence.
This role requires an accomplished leader who can move seamlessly between long-term strategy and day-to-day execution. You will deeply understand the competitive environment, buyer and seller needs, and the evolution of live commerce, and translate those insights into clear priorities, strong cross-functional plans, and measurable marketplace outcomes. You will embed deeply with the eBay Live business while also staying tightly connected to the broader Global Trust agenda so that Live benefits from, and contributes to, the best thinking across the Trust organization.
You will partner closely with many teams - Product, Analytics, Engineering, Design, Customer Support, Policy, Legal, Compliance, Risk, Regulatory, and business teams to ensure eBay Live trust experiences are aligned, globally scalable, and operationally effective. You will also lead and develop a strong team of managers and individual contributors, building an organization that can operate at pace, deal with ambiguity, and deliver trusted experiences for the next phase of eBay Live growth.
