About the Team
Uber Advertising’s vision is to build the world’s most marketplace-centric advertising network—connecting advertisers directly with millions of daily riders, eaters, and earners. By integrating our Mobility and Delivery channels, we power full-funnel brand and performance campaigns that engage consumers from initial discovery all the way to purchase and long-term advocacy.

About the Role
As the Head of US Sales, you will own the single largest revenue-generating market in Uber Advertising (~65% of global revenue). We are looking for a proven builder—a strategic yet operationally grounded leader who can drive immediate commercial outcomes today while actively helping shape the future vision and roadmap for the broader business, including product, measurement, marketing, and operations.

In this high-stakes, high-visibility role, you will be a key driver in establishing a high-performance commercial culture built on pipeline rigor, tight quota management, and active performance management across all leadership tiers.

• Drive Cross-Functional Synergy: Build deep alignment across Operations, Marketing, Strategy, BD, Finance, Legal, and Support to streamline execution, remove operational bottlenecks, and accelerate growth.
• Build, Fix & Scale Operations: Assess existing structures, establish clear KPIs, and refine operational processes to continuously improve sales output, forecasting accuracy, and resource allocation.
• Navigate Ambiguity & Prioritize at Scale: Move fast in a rapidly evolving business, maintaining high execution standards while managing competing priorities and solving complex, ambiguous challenges.

• Lead & Inspire High-Performing Teams: Recruit, mentor, and retain top sales and account management talent, cultivating a resilient, accountable, and winning team culture.
