Job description

Overview

Uber is at the forefront of building the autonomous vehicle (AV) future - one that brings together AV technology developers, fleet operators, infrastructure partners, and regulators into a seamless hybrid ecosystem. As a Launcher, you'll play a foundational role in turning new markets live - bringing sites online, orchestrating cross-functional teams, and building launch processes that scale. You are a dynamic generalist with the tenacity to solve ambiguous problems, build new systems from scratch, and hustle toward launch-readiness with precision. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a high-travel, high-autonomy environment, capable of both strategic thinking and boots-on-the-ground execution. You embody true grit - resourceful, relentless, and always moving forward.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end execution for new AV fleet market launches - from pre-launch planning through day-one operations.
Drive cross-functional coordination across product, engineering, infra, operations, safety, and external AV partners.
Operationalize launch playbooks into repeatable templates and identify blockers to AV fleet deployment.
Stand up systems: from staffing to depot readiness, fleet tools to training.
Manage launch budgets and schedules using Google Sheets and other tools.
Build dashboards, slides, and weekly updates for leadership and partner consumption.
Interface with AV developer partners, facility managers, and internal operations leads to ensure full readiness.
Serve as launch quarterback on-site - resolving real-time issues, conducting on-the-ground assessments, and ensuring operational excellence.

Qualifications

Basic Qualifications

3-5 years of program management, operations, consulting, or launch-related experience.
Exceptional communication skills - both verbal and visual (Slides).
Strong Excel/Google Sheets capabilities; SQL proficiency strongly preferred.
Demonstrated ability to manage complex projects with many stakeholders.
Comfortable with ambiguity; thrives in high-autonomy, high-travel roles.
Strong ownership mindset and proven track record of grit and problem-solving.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience building something from scratch.
Experience in mobility, autonomous vehicles, logistics, or fleet tech.
Background in managing or supporting multi-market expansions.
Experience managing third party partners.
Track record building processes/playbooks from scratch.
Prior experience interfacing with technical teams (e.g., network engineering, OEMs, or construction buildout).
