Sr. Technical Program Manager

Technical Program Manager (TPM)

About the Role : We are hiring a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to integrate into the Fares Platform and collaborate with policy, legal, and compliance teams in evaluating potential policy changes globally. You'll translate these regulations into clear technical implications, assess their impact on Uber's platforms, and drive execution with engineering teams to ensure compliance with the timelines set by new regulations. As a TPM at Uber, you'll lead org-wide initiatives that shape how our engineering organizations operate at scale. On the Mobility and Platforms TPM team, you'll own critical programs that touch hundreds of millions of riders and drivers every day. As the Fares TPM, this is an opportunity to shape a tier-1, mission-critical team that powers global fares and handles tens of billions of dollars in gross bookings. This role is an excellent fit for problem solvers who are excited by challenges and want to drive a direct impact on the company's bottom line. You will sit at the intersection of engineering, product, policy, legal, and compliance - ensuring Uber not only meets global regulatory requirements but does so with scalable, durable solutions. You'll partner with leaders across functions to translate complex regulations into actionable roadmaps, align multiple teams, and drive delivery with speed and precision. Beyond execution, you'll raise the bar on how we operate : standardizing processes, improving efficiency, and ensuring visibility through progress tracking, dependency management, risk mitigation, and crisp communication. As a trusted partner and coach, you'll enable teams to achieve ambitious goals while navigating the challenges of Uber's fast-changing global regulatory landscape.

What the Candidate Will Do : You are equally comfortable zooming out to set strategy and diving into the details to drive execution. You thrive on leading complex, cross-functional initiatives under tight deadlines, bringing clarity and focus where others see ambiguity. You are a natural connector - building bridges across teams, functions, and levels of the company. With strong intuition and sharp insight, you cut through noise to identify what truly matters, while staying organized and relentlessly driving progress. You build trust by being transparent, reliable, and collaborative. You're not afraid to be direct when needed, but you pair that with emotional intelligence and integrity, ensuring your influence strengthens relationships as well as results.

Core Responsibilities :

• Drive High-Impact, Cross-Functional Programs : Lead complex, large-scale initiatives that cut across teams, orgs, and regions. Define success upfront, align stakeholders, and relentlessly push programs from strategy through execution.
• Accelerate Team Velocity : Energize and unblock teams to deliver against ambitious timelines. Spot risks early, break through dependencies, and clear obstacles so progress never stalls.
• Partner Deeply with Product, Engineering, and Policy Teams : Work side by side with technical leaders to scope work, define milestones, and optimize resources. Push for clarity on priorities and trade-offs to ensure we deliver what matters most.
• Bring Technical Depth to Decision-Making : Understand architecture-level details and challenge assumptions. Ask the hard questions, propose pragmatic alternatives, and ensure we're making data-driven choices that scale globally.
• Bridge Business and Customer Impact : Keep the end user front and center while balancing technical realities. Use insights and data to influence decisions, improve efficiency, and deliver products that make Uber stronger.
• Communicate with Transparency and Influence : Surface progress, risks, and trade-offs to executives and collaborators with crisp, actionable updates. Drive alignment by giving context and recommending solutions, not just reporting status.
• Continuously Raise the Bar : Identify and implement improvements that make the org faster, smarter, and more effective. Share frameworks, tools, and playbooks that elevate program execution across Uber.
