Job Opportunities at Uber

The right person will be comfortable in an “all hands on deck” environment, loves using data to solve problems and build campaigns, and can thrive in a startup culture.

You Are

• An analytical rockstar. You love data, and consult numbers to make the best business decisions and ensure positive ROI.
• Skilled at planning, organising, prioritising and executing simultaneous projects and activities. You can prioritize high impact activities and keep complicated projects moving forward.
• Born to network and negotiate. You’re a people person with persuasive communication skills. You possess the ability to interact and shoot straight with executives and to provide advice and guidance that reflects an understanding of their business and leadership style.
• A utility player. You’re ready to hit the ground running with an all-star team. You’ll contribute to every department and help solve any problem. “Not in my job description” is not in your vocabulary.
• Graceful. You are self aware, well-spoken on the phone and eloquent in emails. You’ll humbly be the voice of Uber.
• Word savvy. You have exceptional English and Swahili writing skills and can craft everything from emails and blog posts to policies and summaries, easily adjusting your tone/voice accordingly.
• Creative. You’re always thinking of fresh ideas to generate user signups and promote the brand.
• Naturally curious. You’re innovative, extremely creative and constantly looking for ways to improve upon things.
• Personable. You know how to work a crowd and win over strangers. Awkward is not how your friends would describe you!
• Motivated. You understand the impact of a highly-satisfied, excited crew of users; you are slightly obsessive-compulsive about grinding away at issues.
