Ownership and initiative -proactive problem-solving in fast-changing, high-pressure environments. Effective cross-functional collaboration with Product, Tech and Operations to deliver scalable impact. Experience is great, but what we really look for is drive, intelligence, and integrity. So even if you don’t tick every box, please consider applying! Why you’ll love it here:Play a direct role in shaping the future of mobility. Impact millions of customers and partners in 600+ cities across 50+ countries. Work in fast-moving autonomous teams with some of the smartest people in the world.
