  • Thought Leadership: Champion Uber Direct's differentiated value proposition—reliability, global scale, and best-in-class integration—serving as a thought leader who can challenge partner assumptions and redefine their last-mile strategy

  • Attention to Detail: Handle the big picture and the tiny details. You are organized, timely and ensure nothing gets missed; you are also attuned to high-level strategy and consistently come up with new ways to add value to existing partnerships

  • Analytical A-Game: Develop business models and analyses with Ops Analysts to understand trends, provide meaningful insights, and track the impact of initiatives against our goals
