Uber is seeking a Business Development Manager to drive high-impact partnerships that expand opportunities for drivers, fleets, automakers, and other ecosystem partners. This role requires a unique blend of intellectual rigor and emotional awareness, as well as the maturity and strategic acumen to structure and execute complex, long-term deals that are core to Uber's business.

At the heart of this role is building strategy amid ambiguity, balancing big-picture thinking with tactical execution.

The Business Development team plays a key role in shaping partnerships across taxis, fleets, auto OEMs, vehicle financing, and EV/AV fleet solutions. This role will be responsible for executing complex and multifaceted deals while ensuring alignment across internal teams.

This is an opportunity to define the future of mobility, enabling drivers and fleets to succeed on the Uber platform while advancing our long-term strategic vision. If you excel at navigating high-stakes negotiations, thrive in ambiguous environments, and have the strategic mindset to shape Uber's future partnerships, we want to hear from you.

• Lead complex, multifaceted deals with prospective partners across the fleet and vehicle value chain
