About the team and the role
PUDO (pick-up and drop-off) is a major central initiative to create a materially lower-cost shipping proposition for eBay and Depop. A central question is whether lower shipping prices and other customer interventions actually change buyer and seller behavior enough to create incremental marketplace value.
This role owns the analytical evidence behind those decisions. This person will design and evaluate pricing and incentive experiments, measure elasticity and incrementality, understand how response varies across customer and inventory segments, and determine whether observed behavior supports the assumptions in the PUDO economic model.
What you will accomplish
- Design and evaluate pricing, subsidy, incentive and offer experiments that test how buyers and sellers respond to changes in the PUDO proposition
- Measure shipping-price elasticity, adoption, repeat behavior and incrementality across customer, seller, category, ASP, geography and parcel-flow segments
- Distinguish true marketplace growth from shipment substitution, promotional lift, mix shift and other effects that can make adoption appear stronger than it is
- Build cohort and causal analyses that determine whether lower shipping prices create incremental conversion, transaction frequency, GMV or addressable low-ASP demand
- Partner with the Economics leader to translate observed customer response into pricing, subsidy, break-even and scale recommendations
- Establish measurement plans before tests launch, including hypotheses, success metrics, control / comparison groups, guardrails and decision thresholds
- Diagnose performance when results differ from expectation: identify the likely causal drivers, test competing explanations and recommend the next experiment or business action
- Build reusable analytical tools and automated reporting that allow the team to evaluate pricing and adoption decisions quickly without creating a large analytics support layer
What you will bring
- Strong SQL skills and demonstrated ability to independently query, structure and analyze large marketplace or customer datasets
- Strong statistical and experimental reasoning, including experience with A/B testing, cohort analysis, elasticity measurement, causal inference or comparable quantitative methods
- Ability to distinguish correlation from causation and recognize common analytical traps such as selection bias, mix shift, immature cohorts, seasonality and simultaneous interventions
- Strong commercial judgment: able to move from analysis to a clear answer about what the business should do differently
- Experience analyzing customer behavior, pricing, marketplace dynamics or monetization. Experience in marketplaces, consumer technology, logistics or network businesses is particularly relevant.
- Ability to communicate complex analytical findings clearly to senior non-technical audiences without hiding uncertainty or overstating the evidence
- Strong proficiency with AI and modern analytical tools, with a bias toward automating recurring analysis and accelerating the test-learn cycle
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience in economics, statistics, data science, finance, engineering, business or a related quantitative field
How we will measure success
Success means the business can make pricing and investment decisions with increasing confidence because we understand what actually changes customer behavior.
The role succeeds when we can quickly distinguish:
- price sensitivity from noise;
- incremental transactions from shipment substitution;
- trial from durable repeat behavior;
- promotional response from sustainable adoption; and
- modeled assumptions from behavior we have actually proven.
