About the Role
As a Senior Account Manager on the Grocery & Retail team, you will drive business growth and innovation by managing a portfolio of our largest partners in Japan — spanning grocery, pharmacy, convenience, and other retail verticals — and expanding our business together in mutually beneficial ways.
A successful Senior Account Manager deeply understands our merchant partners, builds strong relationships with decision-makers and influencers throughout their organizations, and effectively identifies and capitalizes on opportunities to improve core business metrics for both our partners and Uber Eats.

- Develop joint business plans: Gain a deep understanding of each partner's business strategy, then co-create and execute data-informed growth plans aligned to shared objectives.
- Drive delivery business performance: Identify levers to accelerate order volume, improve selection, and optimize the partner experience on the Uber Eats platform.
- Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with Operations, Product, Marketing, and other internal teams to relay partner feedback, remove blockers, and deliver a seamless experience for all parties.
- Analyze and act on data: Leverage performance data and market insights to inform recommendations, track progress against KPIs, and surface new opportunities.

- Fluency in Japanese (native or near-native)
- Business-level English (written and verbal)
