Head of Eater Operations, Postmates

About the Role

The Head of Eater Operations & Pricing for Postmates will be responsible for unlocking the next phase of user growth and retention. As a core member of the Postmates leadership team, you will own the strategy and execution of eater demand levers including pricing, promotions, lifecycle, and membership to drive efficient growth within clear business guardrails. You will operate at the intersection of strategy and execution: defining investment priorities, translating them into scaled operational programs, and ensuring performance through rigorous analytics and a strong operating cadence. This role requires strong business judgment, analytical depth, and the ability to lead and develop a high-performing team.

Postmates plays a unique role within Uber’s Delivery ecosystem as a complementary portfolio brand to Uber Eats. At this pivotal point in the Postmates journey, there is a clear opportunity and expectation to think differently, test boldly, and evolve how we drive demand while still operating within a shared marketplace and platform. You will be responsible for shaping how Postmates shows up to eaters, balancing independence with alignment to broader US&C Delivery goals, and identifying where to diverge vs. converge with Uber Eats to maximize overall platform outcomes. Success in this role requires comfort operating in ambiguity, the ability to navigate shared systems and constraints, and a strong point of view on how to build and scale a differentiated consumer proposition within a larger ecosystem.
