Toronto, CanadaR0042889
Business Overview
Founded in 1995 in San Jose, California, eBay Inc is a global ecommerce leader, and one of the world’s most recognizable brands. Our marketplace connects millions of buyers and sellers around the world every day. From our roots in online auctions for used goods, today eBay is an ecommerce powerhouse with over 1 billion new and used items available for purchase using both fixed-price and auction formats. We have over 180M active buyers in 190 countries. Canadians purchase over $1 billion dollars on eBay annually, making us one of this country’s largest and most successful ecommerce businesses.
eBay’s purpose is to “empower people and create economic opportunity” – this includes individuals, entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes. eBay’s marketplace enables small and medium businesses across Canada to succeed while they ‘stay local and sell global’.
eBay Canada has a very entrepreneurial atmosphere with the feeling of a start-up, but the resources (via our global teams) of an established company – the best of both worlds! We are on the journey of building up our differentiated positions in key categories. This role will lead those efforts in our growing range of authenticated categories. This is a major priority for our business and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to take these growing businesses and drive them to the next level.
Role Overview
The Canadian Head of Fashion will be responsible for Fashion businesses in particular categories where we have or will be launching authentication services. We will initially start with the rapidly growing collectible sneakers category and luxury watches, then add in other categories.

The role reports into the Canadian General Manager and will be a key member of the Canadian leadership team.
