Job Description

About the Role

Uber’s Global Business Development team develops and manages strategic partnerships across the autonomous vehicle value chain for Uber's Mobility and Delivery business units. This particular role will be focused on negotiating partnerships that accelerate efforts of Uber’s AV Labs team, including designing the partner strategy for operationalizing a large scale data collection fleet across the US and Europe. Candidates will need to understand intricacies and requirements stemming from agreements with AV software providers and OEMs. This role will require close collaboration with Uber’s Global AV Fleet Team, Regional BD teams, and many other cross functional stakeholders.

Successful candidates will bring a dynamic combination of intellectual rigor and emotional awareness, maturity, an ability to think strategically and execute tactically, and strong interpersonal skills to maximize value in partnership negotiations and contracting. You enjoy building strategy and structure amid ambiguity, you enjoy operating independently while still remaining connected to your team and a broad set of internal partners. Executing complex and multifaceted long-term deals connected to the core of Uber’s business requires considered internal alignment; senior executives and cross-functional stakeholders will support your deal strategy and execution because they remain convinced your deals and deal structures are right for the business. Understanding that some prospective partners may also intend to be future competitors, you will be able to advocate internally for a prospective partner’s needs and concerns with empathy and an evergreen presumption of positive intent, while also safeguarding Uber’s interests and securing future value for the business.

• Strong interpersonal skills that allow you to build trust and navigate intense negotiations to secure Uber’s interests with partners, and adeptly lead the cross-functional coordination (product, local operations, engineering, finance, legal) required to implement deals
