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.
