About the Role

The People Business Partner role at eBay provides strategic partnership, problem-solving, and broad people expertise to help leaders tackle important business challenges and activate enterprise people programs and human capital plans. This role supports the Toronto location through a matrixed, site-based model, working closely with the eBay Toronto Site Leadership Committee to drive site culture, engagement, talent development, leadership efficiency, and organizational health during significant growth and investment.

Responsibilities

Support the creation and partnership with the group leading eBay Toronto’s site operations to develop and promote the site people agenda, operating rhythm, and collective responsibility for workplace environment, involvement, workforce, and leadership outcomes.
Translate eBay and People team strategy into practical, site-level plans that reflect the needs of the Toronto workforce, including growth, workforce experience, organizational health and leadership capability.
Partner with site leaders to strengthen belonging, connection and eBay cultural fluency across the Toronto site, particularly as the site continues to scale and onboard newer talent.
Coach and support site leaders and leadership forums to build high performing teams, improve team efficiency, and strengthen local leadership presence and followership.
Find opportunities to strengthen leadership pipelines, talent development, and internal mobility across the site, focusing on building depth and readiness in a fast-growing location.
Partner with leaders to translate business priorities into organization and talent implications, and facilitate changes needed to enable successful delivery of business outcomes.
Support the delivery of People team programs, systems, and procedures.
Partner with COE teams to help develop enterprise programs locally, ensuring relevance and scalability for the Toronto location.
Use data, pattern recognition and organizational sensing to identify themes, surface risks and opportunities, and influence leaders toward focused action plans for improvement.
Advise and facilitate through periods of change, site scaling and organizational evolution, ensuring that change is implemented thoughtfully and with minimal disruption.
Work in a highly matrixed way across site leaders, business leaders, People Experience and COE partners, with clarity on strategic versus operational support, recognizing that day-to-day HR operations will largely sit with People Experience.
Help shape and support site-wide initiatives that strengthen engagement and connectivity, such as leadership forums, learning experiences, employee listening, all-hands moments and other culture-building interventions.

Requirements

Proven track record to build trust quickly, establish credibility, and influence without direct authority.
Strong analytical and problem-solving capability, including the ability to derive insight from data, diagnose issues and recommend practical solutions.
Excellent communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to work effectively across leaders, teams and partners at all levels of the organization.
Experience leading or supporting culture-building and change initiatives in growth environments.
High learning agility, sound judgment and comfort operating in ambiguity, especially in new operating models where governance and leadership structures are still being established.
