Customer Success Manager, Uber Direct South Africa

About the role and team

• Working as a Customer Success Manager at Uber means moving beyond the polished surface of account management to solve the messy, high-stakes operational realities our largest partners face every day. You will be the bridge between our digital platform and the physical storefronts of our most important enterprise partners, ensuring that Uber remains their preferred delivery engine through relentless analytical rigor and hands-on problem solving.
• The pace is intense and the environment is frequently ambiguous, requiring a mindset that thrives when there is no established playbook. This role is for those who take extreme ownership of partner outcomes, possess the grit to navigate internal friction, and are energized by the challenge of turning complex data into real-world marketplace reliability. If you prefer a predictable, transactional routine over the rewarding but demanding work of scaling global partnerships, this may not be the right fit for you.

What you’ll do

• Build and grow long-term partnerships by deeply understanding what matters most to our enterprise customers, moving beyond simple product support to deliver tangible business value.
• Navigate internal complexity and cross-functional tension to advocate for product enhancements and unblock operational bottlenecks for your partners.
• Solve messy, high-impact problems using data-driven insights to identify patterns that impact experience at scale.
• Adapt your strategy based on shifting market dynamics and imperfect information to ensure partners see consistent ROI and platform reliability.
• Champion operational excellence by identifying and reducing "operational debt" while maintaining a high quality bar for your portfolio.
• Lead cross-functional collaborations with operations, product, and legal teams to shape and deliver solutions that scale.
