U4B Business Development Specialist III (French speaker)
Sales & Business Development
Lisbon, Portugal
About the role and team
Sales at Uber means navigating ambiguity, earning trust fast, and solving problems that don’t come with a script. As a Senior Business Development member, you are responsible for our most complex, high-revenue segments where the stakes are high and the path forward isn't always clear. This isn’t a transactional sales role; it’s about strategic partnership and technical influence in an environment that moves at a relentless pace.
The reality of this work is often messy—you’ll be balancing aggressive revenue targets with the need to resolve high-priority client outages and technical blockers. You’ll thrive here if you are a resilient, data-driven "owner" who can influence without authority, turn raw data into new program recommendations, and lead both clients and internal teams through constant change. If you are energized by the challenge of bridging digital solutions with real-world business needs, this is where you’ll make your mark.

- Collaborate with Sales and/or Ops team to upsell, upskills, and provide product recommendations to drive sales
- Identify and recommend new programs based on data
