About the Role

Uber Connect and Direct are fast growing products in the C2C (Consumer to Consumer) and B2C (Business to Consumer) spaces respectively. This role will help lead the product development for these products and manage a mix of managers and individual contributors.

Uber Connect (aka Flash) allows any consumer to request a delivery from or to any other consumer within their city. This can be anything from sending documents for signature or returning forgotten keys. The Uber Rider app is the entry point here.

Uber Direct is our business level offering. We allow merchants to create deliveries by either using our Dashboard product or directly integrating with our public API. This lets a merchant add delivery services to their existing website or app.
