Company & Location
Uber, the global pioneer in mobility and delivery technology, maintains a strategic operational footprint in Québec City. While its Canadian headquarters is in Toronto, its Québec City presence is vital for managing the regional ecosystem of independent drivers and couriers. The company operates a Greenlight Hub in the Lebourgneuf area, serving as a physical support center for its local workforce. This location is essential for navigating the province’s specific ride-sharing regulations (Bill 17) and expanding Uber Eats partnerships with the city’s diverse culinary scene from Old Québec to Sainte-Foy.
Culture
The culture is driven by the mission to “reimagine the way the world moves for the better.” It is a fast-paced, “tech-powered” environment guided by values of Go get it, Trip obsessed, and Build with heart. In Québec, the workplace is highly bilingual and emphasizes “inclusive mobility,” focusing on safety and accessibility for the Capitale-Nationale community. Employees and partners benefit from a “flexibility-first” philosophy and a commitment to “anti-racism and equity” through various ERGs. The company also prioritizes sustainability, aiming for a zero-emission platform by 2040 while fostering innovation in autonomous logistics and urban transit integration.
