Implementation Lead Jobs in California

About the role and team

Uber's Expansion team is the engine that drives growth for our partners. We act as strategic consultants for the merchants on our platform - ranging from local favorites to global brands.

The Account Management team is specifically tasked with the "growth" side of the business. We focus on deepening partnerships, expanding product adoption, and ensuring our merchants are winning in their respective markets. As Implementation Lead, you are the primary point of contact for a dedicated portfolio of merchants , serving as the face of Uber and their champion for success. You'll work directly with our customers to drive successful onboarding of new products and programs and ensure long-term satisfaction and adoption. Partnering closely with Account Executives and cross-functional stakeholders, you'll play a critical role in deepening relationships with strategic accounts, optimizing program performance, and delivering exceptional customer service that creates lasting impact.

What you'll do

As an Implementation Lead, you own the relationship and the growth strategy for a book of business. You are ultimately responsible for the performance, retention, and expansion of your accounts while coordinating efforts with a cross-functional supporting team.

Portfolio Ownership & Growth:

• Proactively analyze merchant data to independently build and execute operational plans to achieve growth targets within your assigned territory or vertical. Identify and close new sales opportunities through product adoption, location expansion, and upselling/cross selling of value-added services.
• Own the end-to-end sales cycle for existing partners, from initial pitch and product demo to contract negotiation and closing.
• Identify key risks to partnerships early and work diligently to resolve obstacles. You will be accountable for account retention, ensuring we deliver a best-in-class experience that makes our platform the partner's choice.

Strategic Relationship Management:

• Establish and proactively maintain strong communication channels with key stakeholders across your portfolio. Act as a trusted advisor, conducting regular business reviews to present performance data, market trends, and actionable insights that align with and inform partner goals with platform solutions.
• Serve as the primary advocate for your merchants, distilling their feedback to provide actionable insights to our Product, Marketing, and Operations teams.

Operational Excellence:

• Collaborate with Account Coordinators and Customer Success Managers to ensure merchant issues are triaged and resolved efficiently, while maintaining high satisfaction scores.

Basic Qualifications

• 3 + years of professional experience in Sales, Account Management, Business Development, or Partnerships, or a similar commercially-focused role.

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to use data to tell a story and influence decision-makers.
• Demonstrated ability to balance "hunter" and "farmer" mindsets-identifying new revenue streams within an existing client base.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to clearly frame value propositions, probe for objections, and influence stakeholders ranging from small business owners to senior corporate levels.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in the technology led platform delivery, hospitality, marketplace technology industries or high-growth environments.
• Proficiency in Salesforce (SFDC) or similar CRM software.
• High level of adaptability and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment.
• Ability to independently build and execute operational plans for a given territory, considering financial, marketing, and legal perspectives.
