2026 Account Management Intern, South Africa

About the role and team Interns at Uber don’t just observe — they build. You’ll take on meaningful projects, move fast, and be trusted from day one. If you’re hungry to learn, ready to stretch yourself, and excited to work alongside people who move with purpose, this is where your career takes off.

This role is for those who are energized by the messy reality of doing big things. You will join our Enterprise Sales team to solve problems that don’t come with a script, balancing customer obsession with savvy analytics to improve how we move food and things across the region.

What you’ll do 

• Navigate ambiguity and internal complexity to support account management and operations for our larger enterprise partners.
• Solve messy, high-impact problems—from resurrecting churned accounts to improving in-store engagement—often without a clear starting point.
• Build and grow long-term partnerships by understanding what matters most to our customers, moving beyond just selling a product.
• Use data to run "real-world" experiments, measuring performance and quantifying the impact of your optimizations on the business.
• Collaborate across disciplines—city managers, restaurant operations, and account managers—to navigate tension and influence outcomes without authority.
• Manage multiple projects with urgency and discipline in a fast-changing environment where priorities shift daily.

Basic Qualifications

• Proficiency in English with the ability to present ideas in a comprehensive and succinct manner.

• Current work authorization without the need for visa sponsorship.

Preferred Qualifications 

• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to earn trust fast with a variety of audiences.
• Resilience and a "go-get-it" attitude, with a baseline understanding of negotiation or deal-making.
• Ability to set up systems and structure tasks to stay organized amidst high-speed execution.
• A team-player mindset that respects diverse perspectives and thrives in a collaborative, high-stakes environment.
