Partner with regional and country teams to tailor global partnership frameworks to local market dynamics

Represent Uber externally at industry conferences, partner summits, and standards bodies

Team & Organizational Leadership

Preferred qualifications

Strong strategic instincts with the ability to balance long-term vision with near-term business priorities
