About The Role This role leads our high-stakes UKI CPG Advertising Sales and Account Management division, focused on scaling revenue for key clients. You will be responsible for defining the strategy to grow one of the fastest-moving business lines within Uber Ads, a division that connects advertisers to our highly engaged user base across Delivery and Mobility apps globally.

The UKI CPG Ads business is a key driver of this success, helping leading brands in CPG & Retail to reach and convert customers across the Uber ecosystem. As we enter our next phase of growth, we're looking for a dynamic leader to take our CPG advertising efforts to new heights.
