• Lead the development of long term, mutually beneficial relationships with senior executives of current and prospective partners.
• Define the right balance between near-term traction and securing value across a long time horizon.
• Refine deal strategy and deal frameworks through negotiation based on Uber goals, partner goals, and industry and partner situations.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree
• 5+ years of demonstrated ability in business development, management consulting, private equity, general management and/or a combination thereof with exposure to the tech and mobility industry.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience in strategy consulting, investment banking, venture capital, private equity.
• Exposure to large tech companies, automotive OEMs, robotics, advanced technologies, or autonomous vehicles.
• Strong analytical skills with ability to combine business, strategy, finance and legal concepts to lead complex, multi-faceted deals.
• Be able to work cross functionally with many other roles and stakeholders in the company.
• Exceptional communication skills, both within your team, with leadership, and with partners.
• Strong interpersonal skills that allow you to build trust and navigate intense negotiations to secure Uber’s interests with partners, and adeptly lead the cross-functional coordination (product, local operations, engineering, finance, legal) required to implement deals.
• High standards and a bias toward action. You can find the context and information you need through relationships across the organization, you push for clarity and delivery, and you hold a high bar from your contributions and those of the people you work with.
• Embody the highest standards of integrity, ethics and accountability.
• Enthusiasm about Uber and our mission!
