About the role and team

Restaurants are the heartbeat of Uber Eats, and our Acquisition team is responsible for scaling our footprint in some of the world's most competitive and nuanced markets.

• Manage your sales pipeline with urgency and discipline, balancing quick wins with long-term trust-building
