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. Director, Payments Product Let's be honest, you probably didn’t realize eBay is more than just the marketplace for things people love. eBay is a fintech platform in the making, and we’re looking for an experienced payments product lawyer to help us get there. With tens of billions of dollars flowing through our marketplace each year, payments are at the heart of the eBay experience—and we’re continuing to invest in new ways to make buying, selling, and moving money simpler, safer, and more seamless around the world. This isn't just any product counsel role. It's a chance to join the e-commerce OG at a pivotal moment and help shape the next generation of payments and financial services for one of the world’s largest marketplaces. This is not a plug-and-play role. We need an experienced, curious, and pragmatic product lawyer who can get into the weeds with our Product and Engineering teams, understand how our payments products actually work, and help turn complex legal and regulatory requirements into thoughtful product solutions.

You’ll be: • Embedded in the Product: You'll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Risk, Compliance, and Operations from ideation through launch and beyond. You’ll dig into product requirements, user experiences, funds flows, and technical architecture to understand what we're building, why we are building it, and help teams build it thoughtfully. • A Regulatory Whisperer: Payments regulation is complicated. Your job is to make it less so. You'll navigate the evolving legal and regulatory landscape for payments and financial services and translate complex requirements into clear, actionable guidance for Product, Business and Engineering teams. • A Builder, Not Just a Reviewer: You won't simply tell teams whether something presents legal risk. You'll work alongside them to understand what they're trying to accomplish, identify the real issues, and develop practical solutions that enable innovation while managing risk responsibly. • A Product Launch Co-Pilot: You'll advise on new payments products, features, and experiences from concept through launch, helping teams spot issues early, make informed tradeoffs, and navigate the legal and regulatory questions that come with building payments products at global scale. • Our Payments Ecosystem Expert: You'll develop a deep understanding of how money moves across eBay and the broader payments ecosystem—including payment processing and acqui
