- Product-Market Fit and Adaptation : Work with regional and global product teams to ensure our features resonate with local market needs. You will ensure new features solve specific local pain points.
- Data-Driven Strategy: Leverage complex data to understand user behavior in growth segments. You will use these insights to design incentive programs, communication channels, and operational experiments that improve the experience for the users.
- Stakeholder Collaboration: Be a passionate advocate for the users. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to execute growth projects that serve the best interests of both riders and driver-partners.
Basic Qualifications:

- Execution Capability: Proven track record of leading initiatives from conception to completion with resilience and grit.
- Versatility: High tolerance for ambiguity. You must be able to switch contexts seamlessly between high-level growth strategy and on-the-ground driver/rider troubleshooting.
- Communication: Excellent ability to work with cross-functional stakeholders and engage the user community with clarity and empathy.
