Head of Retail, Uber Advertising - US&C

About The Role And Team

This role leads our high-stakes US&C Retail Advertising Sales and Account Management division, focused on scaling revenue for key Big Box, Specialty, and DTC brands. You will be responsible for defining the strategy to grow one of the fastest-moving business lines within Uber Ads, a division that connects advertisers to our highly engaged user base across Delivery and Mobility apps globally. It is a high-pressure environment where every decision directly impacts multi-million dollar client relationships and the overall success of the Ads business.

Sales at Uber means navigating intense internal and external complexity to build enduring partnerships, often without a ready-made script for success.

If you thrive in setting clarity amid deep ambiguity and developing a diverse team of tenacious collaborators, this is where you will make your mark.

What You'll Do

• Lead and coach a large, distributed sales and account management team, providing commercial coaching and performance management to consistently hit ambitious multi-million dollar targets.
• Define and own the US&C Retail Ads strategy, roadmapping long-term sustainable revenue growth by balancing immediate commercial needs with future cross-platform product expansion.
• Navigate complex cross-functional alignment and tension with senior stakeholders across Product, Engineering, and Operations to champion and advocate for client needs and product features that unlock new advertiser value.
• Drive operational excellence by identifying critical resource gaps, optimizing existing sales lifecycle processes, and improving performance visibility across the organization to scale execution.
• Cultivate resilient, long-term partnerships with C-Suite leaders at major Retail advertisers, ensuring high retention and continuously identifying incremental spend opportunities in a competitive digital landscape.
• Articulate a clear and compelling go-to-market message, leveraging Market & Platform Expertise to position Uber Ads against competitors and secure organizational alignment on product advocacy.
