What You'll Do
We are looking for someone to join Uber's Public Policy team, based in London and reporting to the Director of Public Policy, UK.
In This Role, You Will
- Lead Uber's policy efforts across several critical subject areas in one of Uber's largest and most important markets globally.
- Work to ensure that the UK's regulatory framework enables innovative, new mobility technologies, reflecting the needs of business users and end customers.
- Act as a transparent and constructive stakeholder both internally and externally, to build lasting relationships with policymakers and key partners in Westminster, Whitehall, local authorities and beyond.
- Develop and deliver campaigns, events and engagement strategies to deepen Uber's partnership with cities and organisations across the UK.
- Analyse and navigate the national and local political environment to advocate for Uber's priorities, through existing knowledge of local and national political processes.
- Collaborate with other teams throughout the business including Operations, Communications, Legal and Marketing - providing strategic advice across a range of core areas to the business.
What You'll Have
- Experience: Ideally 10+ years of experience in Government, Parliament, public affairs or consultancy.
- A self starter: All of us at Uber seek to work with people who enjoy solving problems and building things from the bottom up. Projects can change fast and you need to be highly adaptable, as well as calm under pressure.
- An exceptional advocate: We're looking for people who can distill complex ideas into simple, clear points. You'll need to write well and be comfortable speaking to a range of senior stakeholders - about our products, people and the ways we're working to improve life for customers, earners, partners and cities.
- An expert negotiator: An ideal candidate will know how to navigate complex partnerships in both the private and public sector spheres, creating outcomes that are respectful of everyone's needs.
- A positive teammate: Success at Uber depends on your capacity to coordinate with different teams (internally and externally) around shared goals. It's why we're seeking well-organized people that enjoy working with others to get stuff done - and who can deal with the ambiguity that sometimes comes from working cross-functionally.
