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 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 CPG's to advertise their products and have the best possible performance Make it easy for Merchants to understand performance and manage and grow their business Make it easy for Uber to quickly onboard new merchants and gather as much information as possible about what we're selling What the Candidate Will Do As the Lead PM for the Catalog Ingestion Team, you will be responsible for defining the vision and strategy for how we tackle the problem of getting every possible piece of information from merchants into Uber, including product information, availability, pricing, store location, etc.
You will need to define strategies for SMBs, which may be more manual, to Enterprise, which may prefer a more programmatically automated approach.
In addition to building products, you'll need to partner closely with your Ops and Marketing partners to develop communications to help internal and external stakeholders understand our product capabilities and how to use them easily.
Additionally, as an emerging business, we have a long list of merchants to integrate with, setting up a massive backlog of merchants that we need to prioritize between.
You will be responsible for collaborating with program and ops teams to define a framework for which integration method is best for each merchant and what order we'll tackle the backlog in to ensure we're delivering the most value for Uber and merchants.
Lastly, you will be responsible for maintaining a high-quality and healthy ingestion pipeline, which requires defining the strategy for what health is.
This means providing visibility into integrations and the status of the pipeline, detecting and alerting when issues occur, and developing tools and processes to quickly resolve issues when they arise.
