The Consumer Experience (CX) team is responsible for the end-to-end product experience for fans looking to discover, buy, and sell tickets to their favorite live events through our web and mobile platforms. It sits at the forefront of fulfilling StubHub’s mission to become the global destination for accessing live event experiences by crafting the product experience that millions of fans interact with every day.
Within CX, the Events team owns the critical moment when a fan moves from exploring performers, teams, and tournaments to selecting the right event. This is where curiosity becomes purchase intent. The team combines customer insight, thoughtful design, resilient engineering, ranking and personalization, and rapid experimentation to make event selection fast, relevant, and trustworthy—ultimately helping more fans find and attend the live experiences they love.
Why This Role Matters: You’ll lead one of StubHub’s most visible and commercially important consumer surfaces, serving as a major entry point for paid search, organic discovery, and other high-intent traffic. The product and technical decisions your team makes directly influence conversion, engagement, retention, and Gross Merchandise Sales by determining how effectively fans move from discovery toward purchase. This is a high-visibility role with end-to-end ownership, close partnership across Product, Design, and Data, and a direct connection between engineering decisions and business performance.
Drive measurable commercial impact: Identify high-leverage customer problems, define clear success metrics, and connect engineering investments to improvements in conversion, engagement, retention, and GMS.
Lead through experimentation: Partner with Product, Design, and Data to form hypotheses, deliver focused experiments, evaluate results rigorously, and use what you learn to launch, revise, or stop investments.
Create clarity and execute quickly: Turn ambiguous customer and business problems into focused plans, make sound decisions with incomplete information, remove blockers, and ensure commitments are delivered with urgency and quality.
Raise the bar on talent density: Hire exceptional engineers, establish clear expectations, coach performance directly, develop senior technical leaders, and make timely, principled decisions when performance does not meet the bar.
