About the Role Uber is building its next $1B+ growth engine in Catering and Large Orders. This role is for a high-ownership operator who wants to help build that business from the ground up.

You will work at the intersection of marketplace strategy and hands‑on execution – identifying where the model breaks, determining what needs to be built, and helping scale the solutions that unlock growth. This is a zero‑to‑one to scale opportunity focused on building durable foundations, not just running projects.

The right candidate is energized by complex problems, comfortable operating with partial information, and motivated by seeing ideas turn into measurable business results.

What You'll Do

Identify structural marketplace constraints (supply gaps, quality issues, operational friction) and define clear action plans

Launch and scale targeted initiatives to improve catering supply quality, depth, and differentiation

Design and run pilots and experiments to validate new supply models, merchant value propositions, and operational approaches

Build repeatable processes, playbooks, and performance metrics to support sustainable expansion

Partner with Product, Ops, Sales, Finance, and Regional teams to operationalize solutions

Monitor performance and course‑correct quickly based on data and real‑world feedback

Basic Qualifications

5+ years of experience in a high‑growth, marketplace, consulting, strategy, or operations environment

Demonstrated experience leading complex, cross‑functional initiatives from idea through execution

Strong understanding of marketplace mechanics, including supply‑demand balance and unit economics

Highly proficient in SQL with the ability to independently analyze data and extract actionable insights

Structured problem‑solving skills and strong business judgment

Ability to influence stakeholders and drive alignment without direct authority

Preferred Qualifications

Experience contributing to the launch or expansion of a new product line or business vertical

Merchant‑facing or commercial experience, including program rollout or adoption strategy

Familiarity with experimentation frameworks and performance measurement

Experience building new operational processes or tools from scratch

Self‑starter mindset with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
