Manager, Autonomous Vehicles Strategy

Manager, Autonomous Vehicles Strategy Department: Operations Team: Operations Location: New York, United States **About the Role** The Autonomous Mobility and Delivery (AM&D) team at Uber is seeking to accelerate the arrival of safe, secure autonomous mobility and delivery offerings that complement our existing products and are beneficial for our customers, partners, and communities. We are collaborating across the ecosystem with a diverse set of stakeholders and with leading companies involved in the development and operation of self-driving vehicles and fleets. We’re looking for a Manager, Vehicle Strategy to focus on early-stage vehicle concepts and future fleet models. This role sits within Strategic Initiatives and is centred on exploring, defining, and pressure-testing what the next generation of autonomous vehicles on the Uber platform should look like. You’ll work on problems that don’t yet have clear answers, from how vehicles are designed for ridehail use cases, to how autonomy, hardware, and operations come together as a system. The role blends product thinking, concept development, and external engagement, translating broad ideas into concrete directions, experiments, and partnerships. In this role, you’ll work closely with internal teams and external partners to shape future vehicle and fleet concepts, represent Uber’s perspective in early discussions, and help turn exploratory work into actionable programs where it makes sense. **What You'll Do:** - **Concept Definition & Direction:** Define and shape early-stage vehicle and fleet concepts, with a focus on the shift toward robotaxification and fleet-first models. Turn broad ideas into clear product and business directions, framing how vehicles, autonomy, and the Uber marketplace come together to deliver a step-change in consumer experience. - **Strategic Thinking & Translation:** Lead structured thinking across ambiguous spaces. Work with cross-functional partners to translate concepts into tangible outputs such as concept briefs, early roadmaps, prototype plans, or pilot proposals, with a clear view on us
