Why StubHub

• The work is visible. Coaching, performance, and culture initiatives at StubHub will be felt by every employee. This is a role where your impact is real, measurable, and seen.
• A mission worth caring about. We exist to give fans access to live experiences — the games, concerts, and shows that define people's lives. That's an emotional connection most companies can only manufacture.
• AI is a real differentiator here. We want a leader who brings genuine curiosity about AI-powered coaching and learning — not someone who adds an AI paragraph to a 2019 training deck
