About the TeamUber's Delivery business is transforming the way people access what they need, when they need it. What began with restaurant food delivery has evolved into a broader local commerce platform spanning Restaurants, Grocery & Retail, and Uber Direct - enabling merchants of all sizes to reach consumers and power their own delivery experiences.
CASA (Central America and South America regions - excluding Brazil and Argentina) is one of Uber Delivery's fastest-growing and most strategically important markets in LATAM. After significant growth in the last couple of years, the next phase will turn that scale into an even stronger, more differentiated marketplace. Our commercial strategy focuses on building the best selection for consumers, accelerating merchant acquisition and expansion, and densifying our footprint across the region. At the same time, we are continuing to scale newer growth areas including Grocery & Retail and Uber Direct, while helping our existing merchant partners grow through stronger account management, advertising, offers, and new products.
The CASA Commercial team sits at the center of this ambition. Spanning acquisition and account management across SMB, Enterprise, and strategic partners, the organization builds the merchant ecosystem that will power Uber's next stage of growth in the country. The team works closely with Operations, Strategy, Marketing, Finance, Product, and the broader LATAM organization to translate CASA's growth strategy into execution at city, category, and partner level.
