Industry Lead, Restaurants

About the role

and team Uber Advertising is looking for an Industry Lead to lead our Restaurant vertical. In this role, you’ll be at the forefront of bridging the digital and physical worlds, helping the world’s largest restaurant brands reach millions of users across our Mobility and Delivery platforms.

Navigate the ambiguity of an expanding ads portfolio, adapting your sales approach to drive adoption of new products across Mobility and Delivery platforms.

Manage complex sales pipelines with discipline and urgency, balancing the need for persistence in long-term deals with the speed required for quarterly growth. Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, and Operations teams to shape proposals, unblock internal hurdles, and deliver solutions that scale. Employ creative problem-solving and critical thinking to resolve blockers and influence decision-makers during high-pressure negotiations.

Communicate with clarity and resilience through tough client objections, using data and storytelling to quantify opportunities and differentiate Uber’s offerings.
