Director, Global Mobility Strategy
About The Position
At Uber, we are reimagining the way the world moves. Our Mobility business is a vast, dynamic ecosystem, spanning hundreds of cities and dozens of countries. From a rider grabbing an UberX to get to a meeting, to a family using Uber Green for a more sustainable trip to the airport, to a commuter trying our latest e-bike for the first time, our portfolio of products is connecting people and their communities in ways never before possible. We operate at a massive scale, but our mission remains simple: to provide reliable, safe, and accessible transportation for everyone, everywhere. The Global Mobility Strategy team sits at the very heart of this mission. We are the analytical engine that helps steer the business, working side-by-side with senior leaders to shape the future direction of our global operations. Our team is responsible for finding and pursuing the next big opportunities, ensuring we remain accountable for delivering results, and uncovering the critical data-driven insights that help leaders across product, operations, and engineering make better, more informed decisions. The ideal candidate for this role combines outstanding strategic acumen with deep operating experience, is a critical thinker who can navigate ambiguity to find clarity, and is an inspiring leader who can influence stakeholders and develop talent.
