Uber to launch food delivery service UberEats in Ukraine

UberEats is coming to Ukraine: taxi tech startup Uber has posted a vacancy on its website, looking to hire a general manager in Kyiv to “scale our food delivery platform in one of our key markets globally.”

The general manager will be responsible for the launch and marketing of the service, and handling the company’s general strategy in Ukraine. The hire will have to understand the market and “balance the needs of consumers, restaurants, and delivery partners,” Uber wrote on its website, describing the job requirements.

Online food ordering service UberEats launched globally in 2014.

Uber first rolled out its taxi service in Ukraine in June 2016, starting with its most popular low-cost private car services, UberX.
