Senior Federal Affairs Manager

About the Role

We’re looking for someone to join our Public Policy & Communications team as a Public Policy Senior Manager for Federal Affairs.

Our Policy & Communications team is responsible for telling Uber’s story to federal policymakers, officials, and third parties—whether it’s transforming how we get around cities and the lives of people who value independent, flexible work; supporting delivery from restaurants and merchants; or partnering with governments to expand their transportation options.

This role is based in Washington, DC and reports directly to the Director of Public Policy for Federal Affairs. The role will cover Congress and federal agencies across the Administration.

What You’ll Do

• Strengthen Uber’s brand and profile with federal policymakers, government officials, federal agencies, and third parties.
• Coordinate Uber’s legislative and political strategy throughout the federal government on Uber, Uber Eats, Uber Health, grocery delivery, transit, etc. This includes tracking legislation and regulations relevant to Uber’s various business lines.
• Work to ensure that legislative and regulatory frameworks enable the benefits of Uber for our customers and cities across the United States.
• Prepare, update, and prioritize messaging to respond to issues.
• Partner with government agencies, officials, and third parties on innovative transport solutions.
• Partner with business leadership to support the sustainable growth of Uber’s mobility and delivery businesses.
• Support and work closely with Uber’s Policy, Communications, Legal, Mobility, and Delivery teams.
• Manage a team of external policy and public affairs consultants.

Basic Qualifications

• 8+ years of relevant professional experience in federal affairs, public policy, government affairs, or related fields.
• Bachelor’s Degree.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong campaigner: We succeed by putting together effective campaigns with third parties on behalf of the riders, eaters, earners, and drivers who use the app. That means you’ll have a bias for action in everything you do and a strong intuition for business, covering issues related to mobility, delivery, safety, insurance, the future of work, and automation.
• Self-starter: We are a company of entrepreneurs, and we want to work with people who enjoy building things from the ground up. Things change fast at a global company like Uber, so you’ll need to be highly adaptable and calm under pressure.
• Expert advocate: We want someone who can distill complex ideas into simple, but intellectually credible, arguments. This person should write well and have the creative ability to tell stories—about our product, people, and the ways we’re helping to improve life for riders, drivers, couriers, and cities across the United States.
• Collaborative teammate: Success at Uber depends on the ability to coordinate different teams (internally and externally) around shared goals. We look for collaborators who can get things done—and who can deal with the ambiguity that sometimes comes from working cross-functionally.
• Past experience working in the political and policy landscape on technology, transportation, insurance, and environmental issues at the federal level is a plus.

Compensation & Benefits

For Washington, DC-based roles, the base salary range for this role is $186,000 – $207,000 per year.

You will be eligible to participate in Uber’s bonus program and may be offered an equity award and other types of compensation.
