About the Team

The AV Fleet Operations team is the bridge between Uber's digital platform and the physical reality of autonomous movement. We don't just manage software; we manage heavy assets, complex infrastructure, and the massive logistical puzzles required to make self-driving technology a daily reality for millions. Our team operates at the most ambitious frontier of Uber's mobility strategy-navigating the "messy" intersection of cutting-edge tech and real-world constraints. We are a group of tenacious, and collaborative problem-solvers who thrive on moving fast and building for the long term, even when the playbook hasn't been written yet.

About the Role:

Based in one of our APAC hubs (Hong Kong or Tokyo), you will lead the most ambitious frontier of Uber's mobility strategy. You will be responsible for architecting and overseeing the strategy for scaled AV fleet deployment across a multi-country footprint (Hong Kong and Tokyo to begin with, and hopefully expanding to Australia in the near future as well). This role requires a "Forest and the Trees" leader: someone who can define a multi-year regional vision while remaining deeply connected to the operational details that drive performance. You will not only lead your team but also serve as a bridge to Uber's core business, ensuring our autonomous future integrates seamlessly with our existing human-driven fleet operations.
