About The Role

The EMEA Uber Rides business spans over 40 countries across 3 continents and is one of the main drivers of Uber’s growth and profitability.

The team has recurring responsibilities leading our annual planning cycle & governance, quarterly strategy refresh, etc. Additionally, the team runs strategic projects which historically have involved launching new markets, driving the implementation of product/legal or policy changes, leading M&A integrations and working with functions to improve performance.

The Chief of Staff will work directly with the Regional General Manager of EMEA Mobility (Anabel Diaz) and our Regional Heads of Operations to lead planning and governance for the region and support Anabel in the day to day management of the EMEA mobility organization. Additionally, you will run strategic cross regional projects of a one-off nature.
