We are looking for a sharp, highly motivated individual to join our operations team based in London. This role within the Driver team requires a rare combination of project management, analytical problem-solving, and interpersonal skills to work together with key team members.

- Work closely with cross-functional groups across UK&I, EMEA and HQ-specific teams to progress towards on our global electrification targets and identify business problems or opportunities
- Maintain external relationships with key industry players, for example, policy advisors, car manufacturers, charge point operators, and other industry players alongside our Business Development and Policy teams
- Data Analyses - Use data to improve decision making and impact business outcomes across the UK and Ireland
- Problem-Solving - Solve business challenges by identifying the root cause and implementing effective solutions.
- Cross-functional collaboration - Engage with a number of functions across the business - policy, communications, product, marketing, legal and customer support and, in some cases, manage external collaborators.
- Project management and execution - Plan and project manage multiple projects and have the ability to implement in a constantly changing, complex environment.
- Product - Collaborate closely with our product teams to test and roll out new features or products that improve the Uber app.
What you’ll need
- A minimum of 4 years of demonstrated experience in data-driven decision-making and sound business judgement through end to end project management and strategic problem solving
- Strong project management skills - the ability to prioritise and successfully drive a project from beginning to end - no matter what
- Strategic problem solver, able to work through complex, high level challenges and recommend short and long term solutions
- Consistent track record of being a respected operational problem solver
- Cross-functional collaboration - you will partner with a range of local and regional teams including Policy, Business Development, Legal, Product, Marketing, Central Operations, Customer Experience, Regulatory Operations and Cities to launch initiatives
- Ability to take initiative in a constantly-changing work environment and implement quickly
- Resourceful, go getter - Uber is committed to constant improvement. You're excited to create new value for the business and design processes, analyses and operations that can scale
- Strong communication and organization skills
- Demonstrated experience interpreting and presenting data to various audiences; ability to translate quantitative findings into action plans
- Interest or background in sustainability or vehicles is a plus
- SQL knowledge preferred (and if not, must possess an analytical attitude to learn quickly as this will quickly form part of your day-to-day)
