About The Role

As General Manager, you hold full P&L ownership and drive market strategy and aligned execution through decisive, entrepreneurial leadership in a hyper-competitive landscape. Reporting to the RGM for Uber Eats, you'll serve as a primary architect of food delivery in the local economy, influencing the marketplace by collaborating with CEOs, restaurant partners, and government to shape local commerce.

This role demands a 'Go Get It' mentality, requiring a rare mix of commercial grit and operational discipline. By leveraging Uber's global infrastructure, you will scale the business with precision, navigating a complex matrix to ensure we don't just adapt to the industry, we define it.

What You'll Do

  • Strategic mind-set: create competitive advantage through differentiated strategy and flawless execution. You'll design resilient local systems and processes that transform insights into scalable operations, balancing long-term goals with agility. You don't build the tools; you spend your time using them to make high-level strategic decisions and drive relentless continuous improvement.
  • Commercial & P&L Ownership: Partner with Sales to define revenue targets. Drives key enterprise partnerships and support teams to exceed targets, challenging approaches to ensure efficiency and ROI. Unlike many Country Manager roles, you own the full local P&L. This is the ultimate training ground for a future CEO, focusing on the commercial levers that actually grow the business.
  • Hands-on Entrepreneurship: This role requires operational grit and analytical thinking - you'll build with the agility of a startup, building, fixing, and scaling process amidst ambiguity, demonstrating "Zero-to-One" hustle.
  • Policy & Industry Ambassadorship: Engage CEOs and Ministers, leveraging your gravitas and authority to shape government policy and influence senior-level agendas as the local market ambassador for Uber Eats.
  • Matrixed Collaboration: foster relationships and influence across functions and lines of business to achieve shared goals. You'll leverage an industry leading brand and operations team to scale fast, allowing you to focus on strategic leadership.
  • Building High-Performing Teams: Maintain a high talent bar, building and coaching a diverse team through transitions and ensuring a culture of accountability and innovation

What You'll Need

  • Commercial Acumen: adept understanding of P&L levers and financial trade-offs. You'll grow revenue and market share through sales execution and collaborating with Sales leaders. Foster key partnerships and motivate teams to exceed targets, challenging approaches to ensure efficiency and ROI by aligning win-win commercial interests.
  • Strategic Mindset: The ability to "connect the dots" between macro trends and micro actions, designing rigorous processes that can pivot when the market shifts. #seetheforestandthetrees
  • Matrixed Collaboration: Proven ability to drive results through influence rather than formal authority. You thrive in complex organisations where success requires cross-functional buy-in.
  • Executive Presence: The gravitas to engage with high-level stakeholders, from government ministers to C-suite executives, acting as a credible ambassador for the Uber brand.
  • Operational Grit: A track record of "Zero-to-One" building. You are willing to get "under the hood" to optimize marketplace dynamics and fix broken processes.
  • Adaptive Leadership: The mental agility and emotional resilience to remain decisive and calm when the "right" path isn't obvious. Exercise sound judgment and measured decision making.

Nice-to-Have

  • Online Marketplace Experience: Background in multi-sided platforms (Supply vs. Demand) and a deep understanding of the unique levers required to balance them.
  • Public Policy Exposure: Experience operating in industry where business meets government, including existing relationships with policy bodies or regulators..
  • P&L accountability: you've been fully accountable for growing a P&L
