Creative Director eBay San Francisco

Job Description: • 2-minute read •
The next generation of design at eBay is here. We are looking for a passionate and collaborative Creative Director to join our growing New Product Development team in San Francisco.

This isn’t your typical enterprise-level design gig. We are focused on exploring adjacencies and pushing the boundaries of traditional e-commerce. We are looking for creative leaders that are entrepreneurial, critical of the current experiences around them and innovators who are energized to re-imagine the way people, brands and services mesh in the digital world.

You will be responsible for leading a team that creates ideas, communications, and interface. You'll make things — elegant, beautiful, smart things — that live across devices — that drive engagement and loyalty to eBay. You'll need strong attention to detail of course, as well as an eagerness to solve design problems at scale. And we’re looking for highly conceptual thinking in both visual and interaction design. We want you to blow us away with your work.

About You

You care about making great products and are willing to design and test, to get to the best. You've been here before and you don't go it alone. You have the ability to negotiate and evolve design with stakeholders and ensure the integrity of the experience is upheld. You should be knowledgeable about our competitors, understand established design patterns and best practices, but always feel the need to do better. You get inspired, fired up and ready to dig in when presented with a challenge.

You can lead and inspire designers to embrace different technologies, devices and mindsets. You love a challenge and are ready to help reinvigorate one of the internet’s biggest and best brands.
