Revolutionizing rideshare through worker ownership.
The Drivers Cooperative is hiring an Operations Associate to support the cooperative’s relationships with its driver-owners and rider clients.
We are a driver-owned ride-hailing cooperative in New York City. Our driver-members make more on each trip, all profits go back to drivers, and drivers have democratic control over the decisions that affect their lives.
