About the Role

The Global High-Risk Escalations team oversees Uber's customer support processes stemming from social media interactions and other internally-surfaced escalations. We're looking for a Program Specialist to help drive continuous improvement in our Global ECR (Executive Community Relations) program.

As the ECR program adopts a global-first approach, supporting high-tier earner / spender escalations for all regions is a critical task requiring a dedicated support specialist that can solve and coordinate resolutions globally. This role will work with the Global ECR Program Lead to help bridge the gap between customer support and program management. This position plays an important role to ensure critical cases for some of Uber's most high-profile support programs are resolved swiftly and consistently across regions while also balancing a weekly project workload.

Global High-Risk Escalations Program Specialists are detail-oriented, skillful written and verbal communicators, and have exceptional time-management skills to balance long-term priorities alongside short-term needs. Stakeholder management is also a critically important skill as Program Specialists will work with regional leaders to implement global, operational updates to keep the programs running efficiently.

• Navigate multiple knowledge bases (KBs) and contact management systems in order to resolve diverse and nuanced issue types across lines of business
• Think outside of the box to develop creative support solutions that best serve the customer and Uber
• Assist with day to day program management for US&C programs
• Maintain program documentation across regions
