Senior Strategic Operations Associate, Uber Rent & Car Delivery
About the Role
The automotive and transportation industries are rapidly evolving, reshaping the car rental landscape. As part of Uber's Consumer Vehicles team, this role focuses on building and leading a three-sided car rental marketplace by differentiating our value proposition for vehicle suppliers-including rental car companies, car-share operators, OEMs, and dealerships.
While Uber's large customer base is a powerful source of demand, our most successful partnerships extend far beyond being a marketing channel. We provide solutions that help suppliers grow their businesses, expand into new categories and markets, and optimize operations. Together, we create opportunities for reinvestment and shared success-positioning Uber as the #1 rental marketplace suppliers want to work with, the #1 place consumers go to rent cars, and the best platform for drivers.
