Sr. Strategy & Planning Associate

Uber Uber · Consumer · Amsterdam, Netherlands · Operations

This role focuses on driving strategic alignment and executional excellence for Uber's Delivery business. The Sr. Strategy & Planning Associate will own the analytical and strategic backbone for performance measurement, decision-making, and storytelling for leadership, including Monthly Business Reviews and Board of Directors presentations. The role requires rigorous analytical thinking, the ability to structure complex problems, and deliver refined, executive-ready output. Responsibilities include driving leadership forums, deep diagnostics of business performance, developing strategic insights and communication, senior stakeholder management, structured problem-solving, and cross-functional partnership. Minimum qualifications include experience in tech strategy, consulting, or business analytics, advanced SQL proficiency, and the ability to independently structure ambiguous problems. Bonus points for C-suite presentation experience and experience using AI tools to automate workflows.

What you'd actually do

  1. Drive preparation and delivery of critical leadership forums — including Monthly Business Reviews, Board of Directors presentations and Leadership Summits — for the Delivery organization. Go beyond packaging data: bring a point of view on what the business needs to hear, anticipate leadership questions, and ensure every forum drives a clear decision or action.
  2. Define, build, and maintain the performance monitoring infrastructure for Global Delivery. Go deep on the data — identify not just what is happening but why, separating signal from noise and surfacing non-obvious insights that are directly relevant to senior leadership priorities. Independently scope and execute complex analyses across large datasets, translating findings into actionable recommendations with clear business implications.
  3. Develop board-ready narratives, written memos, and presentations that distill complex, multi-dimensional business performance into clear, compelling stories. Independently manage the full arc from problem framing to recommendation, with the judgment to know what matters and the craft to communicate it precisely.
  4. Operate as a trusted thought partner to senior and executive-level stakeholders across Delivery leadership, Finance, Commercial, Operations, and Product. Proactively manage stakeholder expectations, resolve conflicting priorities across functions, and maintain alignment on business priorities and planning milestones — often without formal authority and across complex organizational structures.
  5. Take on ambiguous, high-priority strategic problems and drive them to resolution independently. Structure the problem, identify the right analytical approach, align stakeholders, and deliver outputs that move decisions forward. Bring a consulting-grade rigor to problem decomposition while staying grounded in operational realities and execution speed.
