About the role
About The Role
As Operations Manager, Driver (Growth Bets) you will be responsible for one of two areas: Vehicles and Electrification or London Black Cabs (LBC) within the UK Driver Operations team. The choice between the two areas will depend on the candidate profile. This role sits at the intersection of supply, demand, marketplace, and partnerships. You will report to the Head of Driver Operations UK, L6.
Iconic London Black Cabs are a critical project at the intersection of supply-side execution, demand generation, marketplace strategy, and high-stakes stakeholder management. LBC are globally recognized, and while Uber's presence is currently limited, this role presents a massive opportunity for market-shaping growth and scale. You will be responsible for Black Cab operations, encompassing driver acquisition, engagement, and retention, driver and rider initiatives and weekly reporting.
Vehicles and Electrification (V&E) area includes vehicles-related operations end to end - from partner engagement and co-funded initiatives, to vehicle eligibility, engine type rules, and core operational processes. It also is responsible for driving the electrification of our supply across the UK, and preparing our supply for new premium category requirements.
Success will require close collaboration with numerous local and international teams, including UK Driver, UK Marketplace, UK Rider, UK Regs, U4B, Policy, Legal, Business Development, Hailables, Product, and Tech.
This role is well suited to a strong operator who enjoys solving complex problems, managing multiple priorities, and building scalable solutions in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
