About The Team
Our Grocery & Retail business is a startup within Uber, a team focussed on growth and innovation, but with the support and leverage of Uber’s large global ridesharing and delivery businesses. We own the delivery of everything that isn’t restaurant food - think groceries, essentials, alcohol, pharmaceuticals, hardware, electronics, beauty, and more... Many of the opportunities and challenges we face are new for Uber and require creative solutions that cater to different customers, but we’re able to solve them because we care deeply #BuildwithHeart.
