About the role
About the Role
Leading at Uber means setting direction in motion, not waiting for perfect conditions. As a Program Leader, you will act as a strategic and organizational partner to senior leadership, driving the high-leverage initiatives that keep our global support engine running. You will build high-performing teams in ambiguous environments, making hard calls under pressure and carrying the weight of decisions that define how we support millions of users across the globe.
As Program Lead, AV Remote Assistance Partner Enablement, you’ll own the launch and ongoing evolution of Remote Assistance (RA) across our global portfolio of AV partners—each with their own tooling, workflows, and operational requirements. You’ll drive decisions on how the program is built, staffed and run: the infrastructure, the vendor ecosystem, the operating model and the product roadmap that ties them together. This is a high-autonomy, high-ambiguity role for an operator who can launch fast and design for what the program needs to look like with both immediate- and long-term impact.
Responsibilities
What You’ll Do
•
Stand Up and Lead Global Operations: Launch RA Operations for new AV partners on their own tooling and in their own markets, owning labor, infrastructure and tech readiness and building scalable playbooks.
•
Own the Vendor Ecosystem: Run selection, onboarding and lifecycle management for RA staffing and operations partners, set the performance bar and enforce it through SLAs, business reviews, and corrective action and own compliance against contractual and regulatory requirements market by market.
•
Drive the Product: Serve as the operations counterpart to the teams developing tooling, driving continuous improvement of the integration layer that connects our systems into AV partner platforms and converting field signals—including workflow friction, failure modes, efficiency drag—into a prioritized roadmap you help design.
•
Lead Across the Organization: Align AV partners, internal teams, and vendors with genuinely competing priorities on scope, sequencing, and tradeoffs, manage the risk without heavy oversight, and land status, risk, and decisions cleanly with audiences from frontline vendor ops to executive leadership.
