Hybrid Role: (COE Specialist) Virtual Support / In-Person Support

Nagoya, Japan

About the Role

The Community Operations organization at Uber is responsible for delivering world-class customer support to riders, drivers, eaters, and couriers. Within our Community Operations organization, Uber Compliance center locations help new drivers get on the road for the first time, build engagement with the platform over time, and serve as a logistics hub for drivers in their city. We look to our in-person support representatives, or Uber Experts, to serve as the face of Uber for drivers in hundreds of Compliance center locations around the world and provide sign-up help and overall support.

Uber's Centers of Excellence (COEs) are contact management centers. At our COEs, we hire Community Support Representatives, Managers, and many other important roles to support business needs and continued growth. Employees in the customer operations teams are responding to tickets submitted virtually by customers.
