Director, Central Operations

About the role and team

Leading at Uber means setting direction in motion, not waiting for perfect conditions. As a Director of Central Operations, you will lead high-impact, global or regional programs tasked with transforming Uber’s core business performance—whether by architecting a multi-billion dollar sustainability roadmap, scaling our delivery marketplace, or building an advanced ecosystem of business operations (BizOps).

You will navigate a high-stakes environment across diverse regulatory, competitive, and economic landscapes, making hard calls on resource allocation and long-term strategy. If you lead with clarity, think in systems, and are motivated by the challenge of shaping the future of mobility and delivery at scale, this is where you’ll make your mark.
