About the role and team
Leading at Uber means setting direction in motion, not waiting for perfect conditions. As a Lead Product Manager (L5B), you will be the strategic anchor for high-impact teams responsible for critical aspects of our global marketplace—from ensuring user safety through cutting-edge media technology to building the financial and growth platforms that empower millions of earners and merchants. You will manage complex sets of stakeholders and lead a dedicated team of product managers to build customer-centric roadmaps that scale.
This is a high-visibility leadership role in a fast-paced, matrixed environment. You will navigate the "messy" reality of global operations, making hard calls with incomplete information and carrying the weight of decisions that move the needle for the entire company. We are looking for an owner who is technically proficient, data-driven, and possesses the resilience to drive 0-to-1 innovation. If you lead with clarity, thrive in challenge, and are motivated to build the future of movement and commerce—this is where you’ll make your mark.
What you’ll do
- Define Strategy and Vision: Establish a bold long-term product vision and translate it into actionable quarterly roadmaps that align with global organizational goals and local regional needs.
- Lead and Mentor: Build and cultivate a high-performing team culture, providing mentorship to product managers while acting as the "collaborative glue" that inspires Engineering, Design, and Data Science teams.
- Drive Execution: Partner cross-functionally to deliver breakthrough solutions, obsessing over user experience and business impact while maintaining a high bar for engineering quality and speed.
- Master Stakeholder Management: Galvanize technical and business stakeholders at all levels, including executive leadership and external partners, to align with your vision and navigate competing priorities.
- Deep Dive into Data: Leverage quantitative and qualitative insights to make strategic trade-offs, solve complex analytical challenges, and identify and address risk trends.
- Remove Roadblocks: Proactively anticipate and eliminate obstacles that prevent the team from delivering on product objectives, ensuring a smooth path for high-velocity experimentation and delivery.
Basic Qualifications
- 7 + years of overall professional experience with a proven track record of shipping bold product bets that alter business trajectories.
- Demonstrated ability to oversee comprehensive customer research plans and systematic processes for translating insights into innovative product directions.
- Proven track record of converting unstructured, ambiguous problems into clarifying, focused plans while managing multiple multi-team projects with minimal oversight.
- Strong technical depth: ability to identify technical challenges in advance, align multiple engineering teams, and serve as a trusted partner for Engineering Managers.
- Mastery of experimentation: experience partnering with Data Science to drive strong experimentation practices and prioritize roadmaps in a data-driven manner.
- Highly proficient in UX/UI paradigms: ability to advocate for best-in-class design quality and ensure teams design with a principle-first approach.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, or a related technical/quantitative field.
Preferred Qualifications
- Domain Expertise: Experience in Financial Services/Fintech, Online Marketplaces, or Video/Media-focused platforms.
- Strategic Influence: Product judgment that is frequently sought out by teams outside of your immediate product area.
- Operational Excellence: Experience documenting and sharing best practices to help other PMs achieve excellence in roadmap planning and high-quality delivery.
- High-Stakes Leadership: Ability to optimistically keep teams focused on #winning while overcoming significant adversities and limited resources.
