• Track and assess ROI at the individual incentive or contract level, comparing expected vs. actual outcomes.

• Monitor seller and category performance metrics tied to incentives, flagging underperformance or optimization opportunities.

Budget Ownership (Program / BU Level)

• Track spend and remaining budget for assigned incentive programs and vendor engagements at a business-unit or program level.

• Partner with Finance to reconcile actuals vs. plan and support month-end and quarter-end close activities.

• Proactively identify budget risks, delays, or variances and escalate with clear context and recommendations.
   

Process Improvement & Operational Rigor

• Apply deep working knowledge of eBay’s PO and procurement processes to simplify workflows and reduce cycle times.

• Identify bottlenecks in vendor onboarding, contracting, or invoicing and drive practical process improvements.

• Maintain clear documentation, templates, and checklists to enable faster execution and consistency across programs.

• Share best practices and support teammates in navigating procurement and financial processes.
   

Reporting & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Maintain dashboards and trackers that provide visibility into incentive performance, contract status, and spend.

• Provide regular status updates and insights to management and senior partners.

• Collaborate closely with Category, BD, Finance, Legal, and Activation teams to support program launches and ongoing execution.

• 3-5 years of experience in program management, marketing operations, business operations, or a related role.

• Comfortable working with contract-level economics, budgets, and ROI metrics within a defined scope.

• Previous experience working with procurement, POs, and contract management is preferred

• Strong analytical foundation with experience using dashboards, spreadsheets, or BI tools to track performance.

• Detail-oriented and highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple programs in parallel.
