Sr Strategic Operations Manager, Last Mile Logistics

About the Role

 

The Global Logistics team is responsible for building and scaling logistics capabilities that enable new growth opportunities across Uber’s platform. As part of a small strategic operations team, this role will help operationalize and scale emerging logistics capabilities by driving execution across critical delivery operations workstreams.

 

This role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution and is responsible for translating operational priorities into scalable solutions. The role will help shape both the near-term execution approach and the evolving long-term operating strategy for emerging logistics capabilities as the organization continues to scale and evolve. The role is part of the Uber Direct organization and will play a key role in supporting the next stage of growth and evolution of the business.

 

The ideal candidate is comfortable operating in ambiguity, building structure from the ground up, and leading cross-functional initiatives in a fast-evolving environment. This person should be equally comfortable defining strategy, driving operational execution, and adapting approaches as business needs evolve and new information emerges. Successful candidates will demonstrate a strong owner mentality and the ability to balance detailed operational execution with broader strategic thinking.

*This role requires travel as needed to support integration activities, operational learning, stakeholder engagement, and launch readiness efforts.
