The Executive Talent Lead will design and scale the next generation of executive talent experiences at eBay — beginning with executive coaching in 2026 and expanding over time into a broader executive talent product portfolio across onboarding, succession, performance, leadership effectiveness, and enterprise talent movement.
This role is for someone who can operate like a sharp internal consultant: structured, practical, data-informed, and comfortable advising senior stakeholders in ambiguous environments. The person will bring the discipline of a strategy consultant, the judgment of a talent advisor, and the product mindset needed to build repeatable executive experiences that can scale without losing the human nuance senior leadership work requires.
In 2026, the immediate focus will be to strengthen executive coaching as a measurable, high-impact product; support executive onboarding and transition experiences; and partner across Talent Success, PBPs, and business leaders to connect executive coaching and dev with succession, performance, and business priorities. Over time, this role should become a central place of how eBay designs for and supports senior leadership talent management.

- Bring a product mindset to executive talent: define the user, clarify the problem, design the experience, measure impact, iterate, and scale what works.
- Stay close to emerging AI-enabled talent practices, while keeping human judgment, confidentiality, and leadership trust at the center.
- What Success Looks Like
- Executive coaching is no longer seen as an ad hoc benefit; it is a governed, measurable leadership product.
