Autonomous Vehicles (AV) are a core pillar of Uber’s long-term strategy and one of the most important bets on the future of the platform. AV is scaling rapidly across the US through partnerships with companies like Waymo, AVRide, and Motional, with significant expansion ahead. As this business grows, frontline customer support becomes mission-critical—operating in a live, high-stakes environment where speed, accuracy, and judgment directly impact rider safety, trust, and the ability to scale AV reliably. This role leads real-time AV support operations across the US, managing a team of 100+ agents and leaders, with full accountability for performance in complex, on-trip and incident management scenarios. A key part of this role is scaling operations through best-in-class tooling and technology, partnering closely with Program and tech teams to improve workflows, systems, and real-time decisioning, while building the foundations for future automation and AI adoption. You will also play a critical role in translating frontline signals into product and operational improvements, while incubating the standards, frameworks, and capabilities required to support AV at scale.
Job Responsibility:
Lead real-time AV support operations at scale (on-trip support, remote assistance, incident management)
Own end-to-end performance: SLAs, quality, accuracy, and efficiency
Drive operational excellence in a high-stakes, safety-critical environment
Ensure readiness for new AV launches, partnerships and geographical expansion
Scale operations through robust tooling, systems, and workflow design
Partner with program and tech teams to improve support tooling and real-time decision-making
Drive automation of manual workflows to improve speed, accuracy, and scalability
Define and drive the strategy for AI readiness, ensuring the right tooling and operational foundations are in place to enable scalable adoption
Translate frontline signals into actionable product, safety, and operational improvements
Identify root causes impacting rider experience and AV operations
Define and build AV support standards, frameworks, and operating models
Establish the long-term talent strategy for AV support, including role design, capability requirements, and learning & development frameworks
Build foundations for outsourcing readiness (processes, training, partner models)
Lead and develop a team of managers and frontline leaders, setting a high bar for performance and accountability
Build a strong operational culture focused on quality, speed, and sound judgment in high-stakes environments
Coach and develop leadership bench strength to support rapid scaling and evolving operational needs
Own AV support performance across the US as the central point of accountability
