• Drive innovation in live commerce, creating high-impact moments that generate demand and cultural relevance

• Establish e Bay as a credible and influential voice within the fashion and luxury ecosystem through partnerships with industry bodies, councils and organisations

• Build partnerships beyond inventory, including sustainability organisations, circularity alliances and cultural institutions, to strengthen long-term brand credibility

• Define e Bay’s presence across key fashion moments such as Fashion Weeks and industry events, and lead the creation of e Bay-owned activations that connect the brand to fashion audiences

• Strengthen engagement with the resale community, including resellers, curators, stylists and collectors, and support the growth of community-led and live commerce formats

What you will bring:

• Senior leadership experience in fashion, retail, marketplaces or partnerships

• Demonstrated success building and scaling strategic partnerships with measurable impact
