Account Executive - Grocery & Retail

About the role and team 

In this role, you will be the engine behind Uber Eats' growth, responsible for bringing the best local and regional small and medium merchants onto our platform. This isn't a typical sales job - it's about navigating the messy reality of cold-calling, handling frequent rejection, and winning over busy business owners who don't always have a script. 

Success here requires a mix of grit and resourcefulness. You'll need to thrive in a high-volume, high-stakes environment where you're expected to make 50+ dials a day while maintaining the energy to close deals in person. If you are resilient, energized by ambitious quotas, and ready to take total ownership of your territory, this is where you'll grow.

• Prospect new leads and opportunities to build and maintain a strong pipeline
• Contribute on building and growing the Grocery segment in Canada
• Participate in periodic team reviews and updates on business progress, best practice sharing, etc. 
• Own and manage a pipeline of local small and medium grocers and retailers to sign new partnerships in your geographic region with a mix of cold-calling (at least 50 dials per day) and emails 
• Create a great first-impression and act as an ambassador of Uber Eats to develop long-term partnerships and clearly communicate the value of Uber
• Manage contract negotiation to establish the foundation of a strong working relationship with our partners, including sustainable economics for both parties
• Help us identify and build best practices and collaborate with the Account Management team to support a seamless onboarding experience for each new partner
• Proactively maintain communication channels with prospects via phone and email 

Basic qualifications

Preferred qualifications

• Comfortable thinking on your feet, genuinely curious, and like to ask questions
• Experience with Salesforce and Google Suite 

We welcome people from all backgrounds who seek the opportunity to help build a future where everyone and everything can move independently. If you have the curiosity, passion, and collaborative spirit, work with us, and let's move the world forward, together.
