About the Role

The Marketplace team manages the core mechanics of our ANZ business, responsible for balancing rider and driver supply through pricing, incentives, and operational levers. We provide strategic inputs into forecasting and planning cycles, and ensure the marketplace remains healthy, reliable, and sustainable.

This includes designing experiments, developing analytical models, and partnering closely with global teams to translate insights into scalable marketplace strategies.
