About the team and the role:

This role sits within eBay’s Technical Program Management organization and is focused on orchestrating large, cross-domain initiatives that power our marketplace experience. You will partner closely with product, engineering, analytics, and non-technical collaborators to improve how we plan, prioritize, and deliver critical programs across eBay. Reporting into a senior TPM leader, you will shape the frameworks that other TPMs use for capacity, dependencies, and release governance, while driving transparency and predictable delivery for senior leadership. This is a high-impact role with strong visibility, where you’ll balance strategic planning with hands-on execution in a culture that values ownership, collaboration, and sustainable work/life balance.

What you will accomplish:

• Own consolidated annual planning across domains, standardizing capacity frameworks, release abstractions, and intake governance so TPMs can deliver against a single, coherent roadmap.

• Define and operationalize dependency taxonomy and governance (including SLAs, dedication models, and dispute resolution) to improve organization-wide flow and reduce cross-team friction.

• Lead cross-domain quarterly planning, publishing a unified release roadmap with explicit walk-backs and contingency plans that improve forecast accuracy and roadmap adherence.

• Establish standardized cadence and artifact expectations (PRDs, build reviews, dependency walkthroughs) across domains to raise the bar on readiness and release quality.

• Build and maintain playbooks for managing blocking issues, own program health reporting (forecast vs. actuals, risk heatmaps), and regularly present program status and tradeoffs to senior leadership.

• Mentor and enable TPMs by defining sprint/readiness standards and acceptable sprint-churn levels, driving capability uplift, and institutionalizing retrospective rollups and continuous improvement across the organization.

What you will bring:

• 8+ years of technical program management or program leadership experience driving large, cross-functional, cross-domain programs in complex environments.

• Deep expertise in capacity planning, dependency governance, release readiness, and managing blocking issues at scale, with a track record of improving SLA adherence and delivery predictability.

• Advanced modeling and dashboarding skills (e.g., Sheets/Excel at scale, with experience in Looker/Tableau and SQL preferred) to build and maintain robust program health views.

• Strong technical literacy, with the ability to evaluate technical tradeoffs, surface risks early, and credibly influence engineering and product leaders.

• Demonstrated executive presence, collaboration, and influencing skills, including experience negotiating contracts and timelines with both technical and non-engineering collaborators.

• Proven ability to design repeatable program frameworks, lead organizational change, and coach TPMs; BS/MS or equivalent practical experience.
