Why Business Development at Uber?
We advance & accelerate Uber's vision
In alignment with Uber’s strategy, we work to create maximum value for the business by investing in relationships and deals that will have outsized and lasting impact.
We build long-term relationships with customers
We have multiple customers — our users, partners, internal stakeholders and shareholders — and invest in those relationships to create long-term value for all parties.
We bring and continue to develop our unique skill set
We are storytellers, dot connectors, business shepherds, and creative problem solvers. We empower and help each other to become more effective and well-rounded with every deal.
Meet the team
Emma Vaz
Chief Business Offer, EMEA - Global BD
“As a woman in the tech industry who has been part of multiple organisations and teams, I have benefited from companies and teams that have valued diversity and inclusion and seen the difference within companies and teams that don’t.
I have grown in my roles by focusing on the impact we are trying to create in the world and my role within that, even when I had doubts; feeling the fear and overcoming it."
Liz Meyerdirk
Sr. Director & Head of Business Development - Eats BD
“I’m a big Bo Schembechler fan and his famous ‘The Team The Team The Team’ speech sticks in my head when I think about the Uber Everything BD team.
We work on the highest impact business opportunities and have great fun while doing it. It’s that rare combination of meaningful work and meaningful relationships that gets me so pumped to come to work everyday.
And the fact that I can bring my whole self — and sometimes even my three kids — to work makes the team feel like a family.”
Abhinav Dhar
Sr. Business Development Associate, APAC - Global BD
“Uber makes big bold bets, and the BD team is at the forefront of defining how we go to market and structure some of our global strategic projects, like payments, airports, new mobility, etc. I really enjoy the diverse, cross functional nature of the work and the ability to experiment, succeed/ fail, learn, and scale these initiatives."
Marta Castro
Sr. Business Development Associate, EMEA - Global BD
“For me, success is best when it's shared. After joining the Business Development team two months ago, I feel a rare combination of technical skills, solid leadership, and amazing energy to connect, think and have things done. We are built in a dynamic and diverse way, positively working together internally, to then spread the magic externally."
