About the Role
We are seeking a highly strategic and outcomes-oriented Strategic Operations Manager to join the Earner Marketplace & Matching team within Uber's US & Canada Mobility business.
This team owns some of Uber's most important marketplace optimization challenges, shaping the strategies behind driver pricing, incentives, matching, positioning, and other marketplace levers that together determine marketplace reliability, efficiency, and long-term supply health.

You'll turn ambiguous business challenges into clear strategies, align stakeholders around a shared direction, and drive execution to improve outcomes for drivers, riders, and Uber.
This role requires someone who can operate at multiple altitudes: setting long-term strategic direction while diving deep into complex marketplace problems to identify structural opportunities, evaluate difficult tradeoffs, and develop data-driven solutions. You'll be expected to lead through ambiguity, influence senior stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Operations, and deliver lasting marketplace and business impact.
