Senior Director, HRBP - Product and Technology

The Opportunity

StubHub is looking for a Sr. Director, People to hold two connected mandates: senior HR business partnership for our Product and Technology organizations, and ownership of learning and development strategy. Product and Technology are central to how StubHub builds for fans, sellers, partners, and the broader live events marketplace, and this leader needs to understand how high-performing technical and product organizations scale, where they break, and how to help leaders build teams that move with more clarity, speed, and accountability. At the same time, this leader owns the learning infrastructure that turns those same insights into practical programs that raise capability across all of StubHub, not just Product and Technology. 

This is not a traditional HRBP role, and it is not a traditional L&D role. We are looking for a senior people leader who can coach executives, push thinking, diagnose team health, lead through hard moments, and then translate what they learn into the systems, programs, and manager capability-building that make the whole company better. 

The right person will be direct, high-judgment, operationally strong, hands-on, AI-forward, and comfortable working in a business that expects pace and ownership. 

Location: Hybrid (3 days in office/2 days remote) – Century City, CA or Aliso Viejo, CA
