• Conduct assortment and merchandising audits (e.g., product mix, pricing strategy, featured placements) to maximize visibility and basket size.
• Partner with internal teams (Sales, Marketing, Product) to influence Alcohol-specific strategy and drive adoption of new features.
• Troubleshoot merchant challenges related to fulfillment, delivery compliance, inventory management, and promotional performance.

Data-Driven Decision Making

• Use performance data, category trends, and Uber's analytics tools to identify opportunities and optimize merchant strategies.
• Provide regular reporting on key metrics such as advertising ROI, order trends, average basket size, and customer behavior within the Alcohol category.
• Identify at-risk accounts and proactively implement strategies to improve retention and performance.

What You'll Need
