Sr Program Manager, Talent Selection & Assessment Innovation

Today• Seattle, WA

About the Role

Uber is redefining how talent is selected in an era of rapid change and AI disruption. We are looking for a Sr. Program Manager to lead our global Selection & Assessment innovation agenda - blending scientific rigor with commercial speed. This role is both a thought leader and operator: you will shape the future of how Uber hires, while ensuring today's programs are scaled, defensible, and delivering measurable impact.

If you are an I/O Psychologist who wants to challenge convention, push the envelope on assessment validity in the AI age, and help reinvent how a global company hires, this is the role for you.

What You'll Do

  • Serve as Uber's in-house authority on Selection & Assessment, setting strategy and leading global execution across TA.
  • Drive innovation: evaluate emerging tools, AI-driven risks to validity, and design next-gen approaches to stay ahead of industry shifts.
  • Build programs that balance scientific defensibility with commercial agility - moving fast, testing, learning, and adapting.
  • Partner with TA leadership, People Analytics, and Legal to ensure practices are scalable, compliant, and business-relevant.
  • Translate complex psychometrics into clear, practical insights for recruiters, hiring managers, and executives.
  • Track program impact through data analytics, connecting Selection & Assessment directly to Uber's Quality of Hire strategy.
  • Interface directly with the VP of TA and senior leaders across the organization, influencing strategic decisions and ensuring alignment with broader talent goals.
  • Be a visible thought partner both inside and outside Uber, shaping how the industry thinks about the future of selection at scale.
