Lead Technical Program Manager

  2026-04-14     eBay     Portland,OR  
Description:

At eBay, we're more than a global ecommerce leader — we're changing the way the world shops and sells. Our platform empowers millions of buyers and sellers in more than 190 markets around the world. We're committed to pushing boundaries and leaving our mark as we reinvent the future of ecommerce for enthusiasts.

Our customers are our compass, authenticity thrives, bold ideas are welcome, and everyone can bring their unique selves to work — every day. We're in this together, sustaining the future of our customers, our company, and our planet.

Join a team of passionate thinkers, innovators, and dreamers — and help us connect people and build communities to create economic opportunity for all.

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.
