Strategy & Planning Associate, Country Launch & Expansion

About the Role

We're looking for a Strategy & Planning Associate to drive the program management of new country launches across EMEA before transitioning to lead Strategy & Planning for Denmark and Finland post-launch.

This role sits at the center of Uber Eats' expansion agenda. You'll serve as the strategic orchestrator across launch waves - owning cross-functional alignment, governance, launch readiness, and executive reporting - while acting as a thought partner to regional EMEA leadership. High impact, high visibility, and a direct line to some of the most consequential work happening across the region.

What you'll do

• Lead end-to-end program governance for concurrent country launches - owning launch roadmaps, critical path milestones, cross-functional alignment, and executive reporting across MBRs, QBRs, and board-level updates.
• Run structured launch processes and proactively drive resolution of blockers across Legal, Policy, Ops, Marketing, Product, Finance, and Compliance.
• Develop insight-driven narratives on launch performance and risks for EMEA leadership; standardize playbooks for repeatability at scale.
• Transition post-launch into Strategy & Planning lead for Denmark and Finland — owning country strategy, OKR tracking, and deep-dive analyses.
• Act as thought partner to regional EMEA leadership, connecting insights across markets and ensuring alignment with global priorities.

What you'll have

• 3+ years of experience in strategy consulting, investment banking, private equity, or high-growth tech, with a proven track record leading complex, cross-functional programs or market launches.
• Strong analytical capabilities with SQL skills and structured problem-solving ability; comfortable building complex datasets and driving decisions from data independently
• Demonstrated experience scaling zero-to-one initiatives, building processes from scratch, and managing multiple high-stakes workstreams under time pressure.

Bonus points for

• Experience managing multi-market or international expansion programs, with strong governance design skills across OKRs, steering forums, and milestone tracking.
• Exceptional executive communication - able to synthesize complexity into sharp, insight-driven narratives and present confidently to senior regional leadership.
• Proven ability to align cross-functional stakeholders toward shared outcomes in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
• High resilience and ownership mentality - someone who thrives managing parallel workstreams under pressure and has a consistent bias toward action.
