About the Role

We are currently seeking a General Manager to lead Uber Transit through its next phase of growth.
This person will be responsible for accelerating Uber Transit's existing strategies, developing "what is next," and executing successfully. This will require a passion for the global public transportation ecosystem, capability to foster connection with transit agencies, cities and industry partners, and ability to mobilize a matrixed team to execute on the vision.
Uber Transit operates in multiple countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and select markets across EMEA. It partners with transit agencies to improve access and efficiency through paratransit, first/last mile, microtransit, and late-night programs, as well as by integrating real-time transit data and multimodal journey planning into the Uber app. The team builds technology that helps agencies optimize service delivery and efficiency, tapping into a >$10B global market with major growth potential.
Uber Transit is entering a critical phase of growth, with strong traction across the U.S. and increasing demand from agencies worldwide. Success will require disciplined execution, a clear vision, deep partner engagement, and close coordination across operations, marketing, product, and technology teams.
The GM will also play a key role in shaping transit policy, working with Uber's federal policy team, industry associations, and regulators to make it easier for agencies to partner with Uber.
Additionally, Uber Transit has an opportunity to deepen engagement with riders by integrating public transit, shared rides, and other mobility solutions. Thinking strategically about "what's next," both internally and with partners, will be essential to driving sustained growth and innovation.
Uber Transit has grown 5x over the past three years, partnering with 100+ transit agencies and municipalities. The GM will oversee strategy and execution for about 30 direct teammates and 20 partner team members.
