About the Role

As Uber Eats has grown from a restaurant only business to selling everything from groceries to flowers, our Catalog system has had to evolve significantly.  Catalog Quality is critical to help:

• Make it easy for Customers to shop and  have confidence in what they’re purchasing
• Make it easy for Shoppers to locate, select, and deliver the correct products
• Make it easy for CPGs to advertise their products and have the best possible performance
• Make it easy for Merchants to understand performance and manage and grow their business

As Uber expands into Grocery and Retail, we need to build a massive product catalog that is highly accurate so that our customers have confidence in what they’re buying, our shoppers accurately fulfill the right products, and merchants achieve the sales growth they are looking for.  You will be responsible for partnering with global teams around the company to understand how the catalog can power each experience and develop a strategy to grow and enrich Uber’s product catalog.

This is a representative sampling of the areas you might be tackling together with the team you’re leading:

• Develop OKRs that drive towards defining, measuring, and achieving a more comprehensive and accurate catalog
• Identify and prioritize new product attributes that we should be collecting to power various use cases in the experience
• Uncover new sources for product catalog data and develop strategies to reconcile and integrate these diverse sources effectively
• Work with Uber AI to explore ML & LLM’s to curate the product catalog
• Partner with Ops to design and implement scalable human-in-the-loop processes for auditing and enhancing the accuracy of the product catalog
• Power intelligent user experiences by accurately identifying billions of products globally and mapping the intricate relationships between them.

Basic Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years experience delivering successful and innovative products with your fingerprints all over them
• E-Commerce, Grocery, and/or Retail Catalog and/or Inventory management Experience. You would have directly built products to support product catalogs or inventory management systems.

Preferred Qualifications

• Technical savviness. Can manifest in different ways: a computer science undergraduate degree, hands-on software engineering experience, or experiences building complex software products side by side with engineers.
• Attention to detail. The ability to obsess over every single part of the retailing process
• Customer obsession. The ability to take on complex product challenges and find elegant, simplifying solutions to avoid making them our users and partner’s problems
• Finger-tippiness with data. You find a way to get the data you need and whip it into an insightful story with no help. You know how to leverage this data to make decisions without getting stuck in analysis paralysis
• Grittiness. You never hesitate to roll up your sleeves and tackle something hands-on
• A high bar across the board — from your own contributions to the people you work with, to the products you work on
• A true passion for Uber’s mission, our products, and the company’s hybrid technology/operations nature
• A never-ending desire to grow and learn
