About the Role

As an Account Manager on the Uber Eats Alcohol team, you will be responsible for driving demand generation by partnering with alcohol merchants (liquor stores, wine shops, and specialty beverage retailers) on advertising and promotional strategies that increase order volume and customer engagement.

You will serve as a trusted advisor, helping partners maximize their performance on Uber Eats through strategic marketing campaigns, operational optimizations, and data-driven insights tailored to the Alcohol category.

This role requires a blend of sales acumen, analytical skills, and consultative expertise, as you guide merchants on running ads, launching promotions, and enhancing the end-to-end customer experience in a regulated and highly competitive category. Success is measured by merchant revenue growth, increased campaign adoption, and operational excellence.

  • Identify revenue opportunities within the Alcohol vertical, pitch tailored solutions, and support execution of high-impact campaigns.
  • Monitor campaign performance, optimize spend efficiency, and deliver data-backed recommendations to drive continuous growth.


Operational & Strategic Consulting

  • Conduct assortment and merchandising audits (e.g., product mix, pricing strategy, featured placements) to maximize visibility and basket size.
  • Partner with internal teams (Sales, Marketing, Product) to influence Alcohol-specific strategy and drive adoption of new features.
  • Troubleshoot merchant challenges related to fulfillment, delivery compliance, inventory management, and promotional performance.


Data-Driven Decision Making
  • Use performance data, category trends, and Uber's analytics tools to identify opportunities and optimize merchant strategies.
  • Provide regular reporting on key metrics such as advertising ROI, order trends, average basket size, and customer behavior within the Alcohol category.
  • Identify at-risk accounts and proactively implement strategies to improve retention and performance.


Basic Qualifications:
  • 3+ years in account management, consulting, sales, digital advertising, or growth marketing (ideally in tech, e-commerce, or alcohol/beverage industries).
  • Strong sales mindset with the ability to influence decision-makers and drive adoption of marketing solutions.

  • Excellent communication skills, including presenting to business owners and stakeholders.
