Collaborate with top sellers, agencies, and internal teams to ensure a continuous stream of engaging content on eBay Live, developing scalable programs that engage our sellers in the co-creation of this content.

Forge partnerships with key personalities and sellers in the Collectibles and Fashion sectors to attract audiences and drive sales on eBay Live.

A robust blend of creative and analytical skills, with a keen sense for both trends and commercial success.
