You will carry the weight of decisions that directly impact how millions of people move across countries, turning legal and political complexity into strategic clarity at high speed.
This isn't a role for those who prefer a polished, predictable environment; it is for someone with the grit to engage in heated public debates and the resilience to advocate for innovation when the stakes are high.
What you'll do - Navigate high-stakes ambiguity to develop and drive public policy strategies that unlock growth and solve the biggest regulatory hurdles in highly regulated markets.
- Build strategic, trusting relationships with government officials, transport regulators, and third-party stakeholders to influence the future of work and urban mobility.
- Own your team's mission end-to-end, translating high-level business goals into actionable roadmaps that protect Uber's core services from harmful regulations.
- Champion Uber's values internally and externally, driving proactive campaigns that demonstrate the tangible value of our platform to earners, riders, and communities. Collaborate cross-functionally with Legal, Communications, and Product teams to align strategies and unblock opportunities in a fast-moving, high-pressure environment.
What you'll need- 10+ years of experience in public policy, government affairs, or regulatory advocacy within a corporate or government setting. Bachelor's degree in Public Policy, Law, Government, or a related field. Advanced degree (e.g., JD, MPP, MBA).
- Experience developing regulatory infrastructure for highly regulated industries. A proven track record of communicating complex policy concepts to diverse audiences.
- Demonstrated ability to lead through influence and build strategic alignment across disparate organizations. Proven grit and adaptability in navigating high-stakes public debates and shifting political landscapes.
- Strong systems thinking skills, with a track record of identifying architectural gaps in policy and building long-term strategic solutions. Experience in a multinational context, managing teams across multiple geographies with varying cultural and regulatory dynamics.
