About the Role

Uber Direct is one of Uber’s fastest-growing business lines, focused on last-mile delivery beyond the Uber Eats marketplace — including grocery, retail, e-commerce, and more. It empowers merchants to deliver orders from their own channels using Uber’s logistics network!

We’re looking for a Strategy & Planning Associate to support the LatAm Direct team, reporting to the Global Head of S&P.

• Business Planning: Drive regional alignment with global strategy by coordinating planning cycles and translating local insights into product and ops priorities

• Governance & Accountability: Track OKRs, monitor performance, and build reporting infrastructure to ensure alignment and accountability

• Stakeholder Influence: Act as a key strategic partner to LatAm Direct leadership, surfacing insights, shaping direction, and fostering alignment across functions

• Advanced Deep Dives: Lead robust analysis on broad topics (e.g., profitability, product economics, batching strategy) to inform decisions and shape strategy

• Problem Solving: Use data to break down ambiguous questions into actionable next steps — translating business challenges into scalable solutions

• Project Coordination: Partner cross-functionally with Global and Regional teams to ensure critical initiatives land successfully in LATAM

What You’ll Need

• 4+ years of experience in strategy consulting, business operations, finance, banking, engineering, or equivalent analytical roles

• Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills, with a “zero-to-one” ownership mindset

• Proven ability to transform complex data into actionable insights and present them to stakeholders

• Excellent business judgment and ability to operate autonomously

• Advanced skills in SQL and Excel; ability to perform deep-dive analysis and build scalable reporting

• Clear and compelling communication skills (verbal and written), especially when presenting to leadership

• Collaborative mindset and experience working cross-functionally in matrixed organizations

• Fluency in English and Spanish

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in high-growth or early-stage teams, product ops, or strategy roles

• Familiarity with delivery, logistics, marketplace or B2B product environments

• Experience leading cross-functional initiatives or business planning cycles
