About the role
Uber Maps vision is to power Frictionless A → B experiences across all our lines of business. Whether you are taking a ride to your office, airport, visiting a friend, or having your favorite delights delivered to your door, Uber Maps experiences group strives to make every movement seamless. The role spans all Uber's product lines to power billions of trips and deliveries across >10,000 cities around the planet.
As the Head of Product for Maps experiences, you will own and drive the roadmap, and lead a team of product leads and product managers, for building the most engaging and compelling experiences for our drivers, riders, couriers, and eaters. With our unique and scalable technical stack, you will launch competitive differentiators that will grow Uber as the preferred platform of choice for our customers. You will lead with deep customer empathy, and rely on data and user research to make informed decisions with solid product instincts. You will lead the teams and initiatives responsible for the 'bread and butter' of every Uber trip or delivery - how riders select or refine their pickup and dropoff location when requesting a ride, how drivers and couriers navigate from point A → B, the map display "canvas" for Uber and all the last 100-meter experiences that make Uber's trip experiences unique.
These core trip experiences (and ML-powered platforms underneath) set the foundation to answer complex questions like: How do we build a scalable, personalized experience that determines and serves the best navigation, pickup & drop-off locations across all Uber products (riders, drivers/couriers, eaters, bikers, and freight users)? How do we improve our understanding of user location accuracy (walking/in-train/stationary, side of the street, in-door/out-door, localization, etc)? How do we best communicate location information and pickup/dropoff points meaningfully to all consumers? And more.
