About the role and team

At Uber, we're not just moving people and things; we're building a global business grounded in integrity. Our Financial Risk Management (FRM) Advisory team is the backbone of that integrity, ensuring our financial reporting is accurate, trustworthy, and compliant with the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act (SOX).

As a Senior on this team, you'll be on the front lines, safeguarding our financial data and helping us navigate the complexities of a dynamic, global company. This isn't just about checking boxes—it's about asking the right questions, acting with conviction, and boldly improving our processes to drive meaningful outcomes and maintain the trust of our stakeholders.

This includes championing the integration of risk management principles—including Sarbanes‑Oxley (SOX) compliance—throughout the end‑to‑end project lifecycle to ensure risk mitigation is embedded into business operations by design.
• Control Evaluation and Monitoring: Conduct end‑to‑end evaluations of internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) to ensure the integrity and accuracy of financial disclosures. This responsibility entails executing risk diagnostics, assessing the design and operational effectiveness of controls, mapping key financial statement assertions to control activities, and monitoring the effectiveness of controls.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Serve as a primary liaison to key stakeholders, including business process owners, as well as internal and external audit teams. Cultivate and maintain professional relationships to facilitate effective communication and alignment on program objectives.
• Learning and Development: Serve as a subject matter expert in promoting risk awareness across designated business areas. This can be done by facilitating high‑level training sessions that translate complex FRM concepts into actionable knowledge, ensuring process owners understand the strategic importance of risk identification and the value of a robust control environment.
• Deficiency Management and Remediation: Assist in the process for identifying and evaluating control deficiencies. Investigate root causes, partner with business units to ensure corrective action plans are appropriate, and monitor remediation efforts through to successful completion.
• Process Enhancements and Optimization: Drive continuous improvement initiatives within the organization. Identify and recommend opportunities to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of compliance activities through control optimization, process automation, and the application of data analytics or AI.
• Team Mentorship and Development: Provide mentorship and professional guidance to new or junior analysts. This includes reviewing work products, delivering constructive feedback, and fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous learning.
• Reporting and Analysis: Assist in the preparation of clear and concise reports for Financial Risk Management (FRM) leadership and key stakeholders. These communications will articulate the purpose and status of risks related to key initiatives, such as, but not limited to, SOX compliance. This reporting will provide actionable insights that strengthen the organization’s risk posture and operational resilience.
• Regulatory Compliance: Stay abreast of changes in SOX and other related regulations and best practices, and ensure the company’s compliance program is updated accordingly. This includes monitoring changes to PCAOB auditing standards and SEC guidance.
• Exceptional Communication: The ability to distill complex financial concepts for any audience, from engineers to executives. You can articulate risk in a way that is clear, concise, and compelling.
• A Sharp, Analytical Mind: Drive and curiosity to dig into details, connecting the dots between processes, and solving complex puzzles. Solving problems with critical thinking and a meticulous eye for detail.
• Adaptability and Resilience: A flexible mindset that is comfortable navigating ambiguity and thriving in Uber's fast‑paced, ever‑evolving environment.
• Automation & AI Aptitude: A digital‑first mindset dedicated to identifying automation opportunities and leveraging emerging AI technologies to scale organizational impact.
• Digital Transformation Aptitude: Proven ability to identify automation opportunities and leverage emerging AI technologies to enhance risk oversight. The ability to thrive at the nexus of technology and financial risk by championing automated workflows and the deployment of real‑time, AI‑powered control environments.
• Strong Business Acumen: A genuine curiosity about how Uber's business operates and the ability to connect the dots between internal controls and our broader strategic goals.
• Unwavering Integrity: A deep commitment to doing the right thing, with the courage to uphold the highest standards of professional conduct and ethical judgment.
