  • Partner cross-functionally at a senior level - serve as the primary accounting liaison to FinTech, FinEng, and Product teams; translate complex accounting requirements into actionable system specifications and ensure accounting needs are represented in all platform decisions.
  • Support new business launches and M&A integrations - lead the accounting systems workstream for new market entries, product launches, and acquired entity integrations; build scalable onboarding frameworks that bring new revenue streams into Uber's control environment quickly and accurately.
  • Develop and grow the team - attract, retain, and develop a high-performing team of accounting systems managers and analysts; build a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, and technical excellence.
  • Contribute to long-term organizational strategy - actively shape the Revenue Accounting organization's technology vision, define team OKRs and roadmaps, and act as a thought leader across the broader Finance organization on the intersection of accounting and technology.
