Senior Operations Manager, Marketplace

London, United Kingdom

About the Role

The Marketplace team's mission is to ensure that Uber's customers in the UK have a reliable and convenient service at an affordable price at all times in all places. This is a hugely challenging task that requires our brightest minds to solve complex operational challenges. We use data to inform everything we do: identifying and executing initiatives to improve revenue performance and the health of our city marketplaces, optimising pricing, deciding where and when to deploy promotions, launching new product features and pricing technology and launching Uber in new cities.

This role focuses on coordinating launches and identifying opportunities for improvement of Marketplace products and features in the UK and owning the development of Marketplace customer policies and fees, with some flexibility to work across other strategically important projects in the Marketplace team, according to priorities. You will partner with many teams across the business to achieve your goals, including other UK Operations teams, EMEA Central Operations, Policy, Communications and Legal teams.
