You will optimize our ~1.5%-2% EUP spend to drive maximum incremental trips while monitoring the impact on the wider marketplace. Product Influence: Translate consumer insights into product requirements. You will work with the Product team to refine "User Aware Nudges," "Eats on the Way," and carousel rankings to improve conversion. Performance Tracking: Own the consumer-facing metrics (Active Eaters, Frequency, Retention) and build the feedback loop to local teams to adjust their growth strategies.
