About the Role
As the Head of Cities you will be responsible for the success of the main cities where Postmates operates in the US. You will directly lead a group of self motivated, action oriented Territory Managers responsible for clusters of cities in our portfolio. You will need to build strong relationships and collaborate with functional teams supporting Postmates, such as Marketing, UberEats Territory Teams, and dedicated Postmates growth and strategic planning teams.
A successful Head of Cities will develop and execute the operational plans to win in all the cities based on a portfolio approach, drive and develop their team, and excel at cross functional teamwork.
In this role you will be in charge of handling our tiers of cities, and developing strategies and operational plans that build from what central teams (Strategy & Planning and Eater Operations) will be developing for the business. You will also be engaging Marketing and Restaurant Marketing to develop specific campaigns and events with relevant merchants (exclusives primarily). It will be fundamental that you build the knowledge and city level understanding to build the SMB (small/medium business) leads Postmates would benefit from engaging more closely. You will bring them to the platform, proposing exclusive relationships that are beneficial for all, including eaters.
Your challenge will include developing operating models to engage the current organization, and ensuring there is little duplication with UberEats territory managers.
Your team will be made up of three Territory Managers, currently assigned against tiers of cities, so that you can develop different ways of operating and executing ranging from a high touch tailored approach to LA, to a centralized, scalable way for the tier 3 cities.
