About the Role
The Global Intelligence team works to understand the strategy and performance of Uber and other companies with similar products through a combination of external and internal data. Uber operates in a diverse array of markets and product categories filled with rapidly evolving competing options; assessing the success or failure of a product or strategy depends on understanding this context. Doing this, and doing it well, is an interesting and difficult problem. The team uses its expertise in data analysis, statistical modeling, economics, and business to build scalable data products.
We are looking for experienced candidates with a passion for solving new and difficult problems with data. You will be able to use your strong quantitative and analytical skills to elevate competitive intelligence at Uber to strategic advantage and empower teams to make more informed business and strategy decisions.
