What You’ll Do
Supply Acquisition & Partner Management

• Plan and drive supply acquisition and activation through channel partners, street outreach (fleet on street), and central channels, ensuring partner productivity through incentive programs and fraud controls.
• Help partners grow with Uber by ensuring they consistently meet targets, earn well, and are enabled to run their operations smoothly with minimal hand-holding.

Earner Growth

• Own earner lifecycle management with the help of telecalling teams, channel partners, Earner Ops, and Marketplace — earner empathy is a key trait.
• Design and run local experiments on driver payouts, incentives, and geographic expansion; scale what works. Work with partners to gather ground-level feedback and build cases to advocate for earner needs with internal stakeholders.

Growth Initiatives

• Identity growth opportunities for the city and launch initiatives with cross-functional teams. This will also include local-level partnerships which may have to be executed.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Act as the single-threaded owner for Delhi NCR with central teams: Marketplace, Planning, Channels, Earner Ops, Policy, Airports, Safety, and Legal/Law Enforcement.
• Provide grounded city inputs into quarterly planning, budget allocation, and product/operations experiments. Analyze driver and supply metrics to identify gaps, develop hypotheses, and use data to drive improvement.

Execution & Governance

• Run tight execution rhythms: daily standups with team leads, weekly city reviews, and monthly deep dives. Ensure consistent adoption of core operational processes and dashboards across supply, churn, and budget tracking.
• Set up and maintain outreach cadences with telecalling and street teams for earner engagement and churn reduction. Partner with Safety and CommOps teams to ensure robust incident handling, safety compliance, and service quality.

• Support talent development, performance reviews, and succession planning for key roles in the Delhi NCR team.

External Stakeholder & Regulatory Engagement

• Develop and maintain strong relationships with local external stakeholders — transport authorities, driver associations, aggregator bodies — to ensure day-to-day operations run without disruption (KAMs to provide support)
• Partner with Policy and Government Relations teams on city- and state-level regulatory issues and local authority engagement.

What You’ll Need

• 5 - 8+ years of experience in field-facing or fleet/partner-facing sales, operations, or business development roles within mobility, logistics, e-commerce/internet, or FMCG industries.
• Demonstrated experience leading teams in a high-velocity, ambiguous environment. Working knowledge of Delhi NCR’s geography and business landscape.
• Strong analytical skills; comfortable working with operational dashboards and Excel/Google Sheets to diagnose issues and size opportunities. Proficiency in SQL is a plus.
