About the Role
As a Lead Product Manager for Uber Direct, you will be at the forefront of Uber’s evolution from an on-demand delivery app to a global logistics powerhouse. You will build a new infrastructure designed to move physical goods across cities with the same ease we move people.
Uber Direct & Logistics sits at the intersection of many teams at Uber. The role will be cross-cutting across all sides of the Uber marketplace (merchant, courier, marketplace, and the end customer, whether business or consumer). You will work closely with technical, as well as non-technical collaborators across the globe, coordinating with business development, sales, operations, data science, design, engineering, and other teammates to set the team’s roadmap and complete it.
