As a Lead Product Manager your impact on the business side, onboarding, and making new drivers successful is the lifeblood that powers Uber's growth and creates a path to economic empowerment for millions of people every year.

In this role, you will envision and deliver a multi-gig experience that is intuitive, fast, globally scalable and tailored to different earner segments. You will own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for how drivers and couriers discover new earning opportunities, maximize their earnings and manage their platform access across all of their gigs. 

This role requires strong product sense, a good understanding of the driver persona and their motivations and great crossfunctional agility. You will work closely with engineering, data science, design, operations, legal, and trust & safety partners to build experiences that support and scale with the speed of our business.

About the Team

The Earner growth team sits at the heart of the earner lifecycle and plays a foundational role in Uber's global growth. We are responsible for maximizing the number of quality, high performing earners on the platform. We achieve this through optimizing the onboarding experience, enabling earners to progress during their early lifecycle and by helping to maximize their earning potential through multiple gigs to increase retention. In the event that earners churn, we also focus on bringing them back to the platform.

  What You'll Do
  1. Own the product roadmap and lead vision, definition and execution for building Uber's earner multi gig experience.
  2. Rethink the journey - deeply understand earners, their motivations and challenges and keep making the gig discovery and recommendation experience better.
  3. Innovate - find new ways of simplifying the user experience with new technologies.
  4. Distill vision and strategy for the team, get all members of cross-functional team #superpumped. 
  5. Own your numbers, drive your cross-functional team of engineers, data scientist, product ops and designers to set qualitative objectives and quantitative goals -- and overachieve them.
  6. Clearly communicate product plans, benefits, and results to leadership.

---- Basic Qualifications ----
  1. Minimum of 6 years of product management experience.
  2. Experience delivering highly successful and creative consumer Internet products with your fingerprints all over them - you're proud of what you've accomplished.
  3. Data-driven: you always get the data you need, and you can distill it into an insightful story. Most importantly, you leverage data to drive strategic decisions.
  4. Technical skills. Ability to inform and evaluate engineering decisions.

---- Preferred Qualifications ----
  1. Any experience working with gig economy earners
  2. Launching products in different international markets
  3. Experience in building and optimizing complex user acquisition funnels or recommendation engines
