Sr. Director of Public Policy & Government Affairs, LatAm

Sr. Director of Public Policy & Government Affairs, LatAm Department: Public Policy Team: Public Policy Location: Sao Paulo, Brazil Type: Full-Time **About the Role** We are looking for someone to lead our Public Policy team in LATAM. This means setting direction in motion across a region defined by its immense scale and starkly different regulatory landscapes. This isn’t a role for someone who wants to stay at the 30,000-foot view. You will lead a massive regional footprint of 25+ policy experts, but you’ll also need to dive deep into the technical "weeds" of competition policy, the future of work, and autonomous vehicles. Success here requires a "go-get-it" attitude, grit, and the ability to turn ambiguity into a well-articulated, actionable plan that cross-functional partners can rally behind. Based in either São Paulo or Mexico City and reporting to the Global Head of Public Policy, you will be a key leader in our LATAM organization. If you are energized by the challenge of making things better—even when the path isn't clear—this is where you’ll make your mark. **What You’ll Do** - Lead the Regional Charge: Direct a team of 25+ public policy professionals across LATAM, fostering a culture of excellence and resilience while managing high-velocity regional strategies. - Turn ambiguity into strategy: Take unstructured, complex regulatory challenges—from labor classification to agentic AI—and translate them into clear strategies that move the needle for the business. - Translate global into local impact: Transform global research and data from HQ into politically relevant, locally resonant arguments that demonstrate our value to city stakeholders. - Own the Long Game: Make decisions with an eye on both immediate local impact and the long-term global implications for Uber's multi-line business. - Be a Strategic Multiplier: Partner cross-functionally with Product, Safety, Legal, and Tax teams, offering strategic advice that balances aggressive growth with regulatory sustainability. - Drive Advocacy Excellence: Conceptualize and drive integrated campaigns that proactively influence policy trends rather than j
