We are looking for a Senior Staff Program Manager to join our Uber Tech organization to help execute and develop operational processes, solve complex challenges, and be a force multiplier across the leadership team.

No task is beneath you. You work collaboratively to help our teams to work better, faster, and more inquisitive!
You are a leader who effectively develops relationships with stakeholders at all levels of the organization and brings different perspectives to the table. You build trust across the org. You are not afraid to drive teams to deliver results, and you act with emotional intelligence and integrity.
