General Manager, KSA

About the Role

We're making cities safer, smarter, and more connected. And we're doing it at
a global scale - energizing local economies and bringing opportunity to
millions of people around the world.
Uber's positive impact is tangible in the communities we operate in, and that
drives us to keep moving forward.
The General Manager at Uber is one of the most fast-paced positions Uber has
to offer; it requires an outstanding combination of talent, courage, and
leadership. As the leader of KSA, you will be responsible for the development
and balanced growth of our business and people.
You'll also be responsible for operational excellence and maintaining and
continuously improving 'Uber' quality throughout the Rider's experience,
customer support, local marketing, supply chain management, and service
quality management.
This role requires excellent collaboration across different functional and
specialized teams and can bridge the gap with the city, Regional, and HQ
teams. We need leaders that are innovators and can build, mentor, and
encourage strong teams to reach their potential. We believe in solving local
problems with local solutions, so understanding your market and delivering
custom messages is important.
It's the intersection of the analytical with the creative that makes the Uber
GM a difficult job to fill and the impact on our people and our business that
makes it such a phenomenal job to have!
