Senior Public Policy Associate

About the Role

We are looking for someone to work on our Government Affairs & Public Policy team based in Buenos Aires. You will report directly to the Head of Public Policy of Southern Cone and impact our operations in the region.

What the Candidate Will Do

- Supporting Uber's Government Affairs & Public Policy team in its engagement with state governments and local stakeholders, as well as across a range of areas including regulation, mobility, safety, and other strategic policy matters.
- Establishing Uber's brand and profile with key stakeholders-including governments, third parties, and academics.
- Working to ensure that the regulatory framework in the region supports ridesharing & delivery apps like Uber and its diverse products and services.

Basic Qualifications

- A minimum of 8 years in public policy or government affairs is expected, but we will consider candidates with less experience or transitioning careers if they meet our other requirements.
- Fluency in English and Spanish, both oral and written.
- To be a self-starter: things change fast in our world, so you'll need to be highly adaptable as well as calm under pressure.
- To be a great advocate: you'll need the intellectual firepower to grasp complex policy issues as well as the ability to articulate clearly and simply how apps like Uber can help improve transportation for everyone-both orally and in writing.
- To be a strategic thinker and a great executioner: that means having a bias for action in everything you do-and a willingness to engage in debates that can often become heated-or to put together proactive strategies involving passengers, drivers, and third parties that demonstrate there's a better alternative to a current and outdated proposal.
- To be a team player: we're looking for well-organized people who enjoy working with others to get stuff done-and who can deal with the ambiguity that sometimes comes from working cross-functionally.

Preferred Qualifications

- Prior experience working with governments or government affairs in the private sector, as well as familiarity with areas such as urban mobility, the digital economy, and the future of work, will be considered an advantage.TA Screen BPS - 30 min with HM (vacation march 20 - april 7) BPS - 30 min withIvo Correa Case - to be shared - 5 days SLA content in english and presentation in spanish BI - 60 min with Pedro Martino, Florencia Nigro, Juan Labaqui, Eli Frias, Daniela Monje
