Job Description

About the Role

As the Head of Sales Strategy - Grocery you will be responsible for leading the strategy development & implementation for generating new grocery partnerships throughout the United States. Grocery & Retail is a primary growth bet for Uber, bringing on-demand delivery of almost, almost anything to Uber Eats customers around the world - and this role is absolutely crucial to achieving that goal.

Who are we looking for? Someone who has a commercial mindset, analytical capabilities, and also has proven experience closing major accounts and cultivating C-Suite-level relationships, who isn't afraid to dig into the details and get their hands dirty.

This is a hybrid role based in our office spaces, with in-person collaboration on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. We encourage our employees to work from our office on additional days if they desire to do so.

What You'll Do
  • Lead strategy development for forming new grocery partnerships
  • Develop new sales materials
  • Act in a player-coach capacity
  • Build New Partnerships with our highest impact merchants
  • Enable the team with sales tools, continuous improvement, and project management

What will make you successful:

  • Storytelling - Ability to craft a story that resonates with C-level executives and key decision makers
  • Data Driven - Self-sufficient in querying (SQL) and synthesising large sets of data
  • Skilled at negotiation - Effectively sell the value of Uber's Grocery & Retail platform to ensure sustainable partnerships for both parties.
  • Strategic thought-leader - Someone who is talented at crafting deal proposals and knows their way around a P&L.
  • Expertise in docs, decks, and contracts - Imperative that this individual has experience creating proposal docs + decks that are ready for a C-Suite audience.
  • Make things happen (internally and externally) - Not everything goes to plan - this person needs to be able to rally the troops internally and externally to drive to results. This will be imperative.

Basic Qualifications
  • Minimum 6 years of Sales, Business Development, Consulting, or Investment Banking experience
  • Analytical capabilities (SQL and modeling)
  • Exceptional communication skills - internally and externally, written and verbal. This person will be tasked with writing externally-facing documents, such as executive-level presentations, deal proposals, RFP responses, and term sheets.
  • Strong use of insights and data to help form overall strategy and drive decision-making. Understand both Uber and Retailer's P&L to come to the right decision when deal-making.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Ability to understand the technical aspects of a deal (e.g. tax, contractual language, etc), alongside a deep understanding of how our product works.
  • Track record working with cross-functional partners (e.g. Legal, Engineering, Product, Tax, Marketing) to help internally advocate for merchants' needs.
  • CRM experience (Salesforce)
  • Experience in On-Demand Delivery or Retail
  • Self-starter demeanor with an ability to thrive in a fast-moving, constantly evolving team environment, and a passion for sales
  • Ability to clearly frame a value proposition and ask the right questions to be able to overcome objections to gain commitment from external and internal partners
  • Willingness to roll-up sleeves, and get in the weeds with internal stakeholders
  • Strong executive presence
