Sales Manager, Mid Market Italy & Portugal, Uber for Business

About the role and team

Uber for Business is looking for a strategic, hands-on Mid-Market Sales Manager to lead and scale our high-performing sales organization. This isn't a role for someone who wants to manage from a distance; it’s for a leader who thrives on the front lines, navigating the ambiguity of a fast-growing segment and turning complex business challenges into movement. You will be responsible for a team of Account Executives focused on acquiring new customers and expanding our footprint through both Rides and Eats solutions.

The stakes are high and the pace is relentless. You’ll need to balance the grit required for cold outreach and deal-closing with the sophistication needed to navigate C-level negotiations and cross-functional internal politics. We are looking for a self-starter who values ownership, adapts quickly to shifting market dynamics, and is energized by the "messy" reality of building a sales engine from the ground up. If you are a resilient leader who can coach a team to win while keeping the customer at the center of every decision, this is where you’ll grow.

This role can be based out of Lisbon, Madrid, or Milan

• Quarterback high-stakes C-level meetings, actively listening to business pain points and tailoring Uber’s platform to solve real-world logistics and employee needs.
• Manage and report an accurate sales forecast and pipeline, holding the team accountable to monthly and quarterly targets through rigorous process discipline.
