As the Head of Strategic Grocery Accounts, you will be responsible for leading the strategy development & implementation for generating new grocery partnerships throughout the United States. Grocery & Retail is a primary growth bet for Uber, bringing on-demand delivery of almost, almost anything to Uber Eats customers around the world - and this role is absolutely crucial to achieving that goal.
Who are we looking for? Someone who has a commercial mindset, analytical capabilities, and also has proven experience closing major accounts and cultivating C-Suite-level relationships, who isn't afraid to dig into the details and get their hands dirty.
