About the Role

We are looking for an exceptional operator to help launch and scale autonomous vehicles on Uber's platform across the US.

Drive strategic partnerships: Build trusted relationships with leading AV developers, serving as a key operational and strategic counterpart to align priorities, solve complex challenges, and unlock mutual growth

Shape marketplace performance and growth: Drive post-launch optimization by identifying opportunities to improve utilization, operational efficiency, rider experience, and commercial outcomes

Lead cross-functional initiatives: Partner with Product, Engineering, Fleet Operations, Safety, Legal, Policy, Marketing, Comms and Finance to align priorities and execute complex initiatives across organizations

Influence strategic decisions: Evaluate complex business tradeoffs, develop clear recommendations, and influence senior leadership decisions that shape the direction of Uber's autonomous vehicle business

• Demonstrated ability to operate independently, exercise sound judgment, and drive initiatives from strategy through execution
• Experience in autonomous vehicles, ride-hailing, marketplaces, or other technology-driven industries
• Experience managing external partnerships and navigating complex, cross-company relationships
• Track record of launching and scaling new products, services, markets, or commercial operations
• Strong business judgment and experience evaluating operational, financial, and customer experience tradeoffs
• Experience developing scalable solutions to complex problems in fast-growing or rapidly evolving organizations
