• Leading on commercial matters: Be part of the incredible growth story of Uber advising across both the Delivery and Mobility business in a high growth market and have the opportunity to develop strong cross-functional relationships with stakeholders across the business and the wider legal team and work on a wide range of fast-paced, high impact, and high profile commercial, product and corporate matters.
• Champion of innovation: Uber is known for its innovative spirit, and your legal acumen will be critical in supporting new product launches and initiatives. You'll work closely with product teams as well as Policy, Operations, Marketing and Communications teams to identify potential legal risks and devise proactive strategies to minimise exposure.
• A true team player: You’ll be part of a close-knit legal team but you will also work closely with cross-functional teams including employment, tax, policy and communications and stakeholders to drive Uber's mission forward.
• Legal Development: Understand, interpret and apply current laws and regulations as applicable to Uber’s business models in the region and your areas of responsibility.
• Clear Communicator: Excellent communication skills - adept at turning legal jargon into clear, succinct and engaging advice.
