Growth Strategy Manager, Uber Direct, Czech Republic

Uber Uber · Consumer · Prague, Czech Republic · Operations

This role is for a Growth Strategy Manager for Uber Direct in the Czech Republic. The primary responsibilities include owning the Go-to-Market (GTM) commercial strategy, pipeline creation, and sales for new merchants.

  4. Quantify everything. You will utilize an analytical approach to understand the performance of initiatives, ensuring you prioritize tasks with the highest ROI.
  5. Think fast and move swiftly in high-pressure environments. This is a rare opportunity to launch a market from scratch, pilot new operating models, and create playbooks that will be scaled across Uber globally.
