About the role
We're looking for a storyteller, communications specialist, or a producer to build and scale Uber's technical thought leadership platform.
Reporting to the Head of Product Communications, you'll own how Uber's technology story comes to life across podcast, executive social, and earned media. You'll lead the editorial strategy and production of a monthly podcast hosted by Uber's CTO, while partnering with engineering leaders to elevate the people and technologies shaping the future of mobility and delivery, AI, and marketplace innovation.
This role is equal parts editorial director, executive producer, and communications strategist. You'll identify the stories worth telling, shape compelling narratives, secure high-impact guests, produce compelling and differentiated content, and amplify those stories across social, press, and owned channels to strengthen Uber's position as a destination for top technical talent and innovators.
This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about engineering, thrives in ambiguity, loves building new editorial products from the ground up, and has the creativity, judgment, and execution skills to produce work that stands out in a crowded technology landscape.

- Develop and execute thoughtful executive social media strategies—primarily on X—to amplify the voices of Uber's technology leaders and extend the reach of key technical narratives.
- Own the editorial voice and content strategy for Uber's senior technology leaders on X, crafting timely, authentic content that translates complex technical topics into engaging conversations.
- Spot emerging technology trends and develop timely editorial that resonates with technical audiences around AI, machine learning, infrastructure, autonomy, cybersecurity, and the future of software engineering.
- Apply strong editorial judgment to translate complex technical work into simple, compelling stories without sacrificing technical credibility.
- Build relationships with leading researchers, founders, technologists, academics, industry voices, and journalists to secure exceptional guests, identify emerging trends, and broaden Uber's influence within the technology ecosystem.
- Develop integrated content strategies that extend each episode across social media, press, executive channels, video, and other owned platforms.
- Partner cross-functionally with Communications, Engineering, Marketing, Creative, Legal, and Production teams to deliver high-quality content at a consistent cadence.
- Measure audience growth, engagement, and impact across podcast and executive social channels, continuously evolving the editorial strategy based on performance and industry trends.
