About this Role

We are looking for someone to join our Policy team in Mexico, based in Mexico City.  You will report directly to Mexico’s Public Policy Manager. This role will involve:

• Building strong working relationships with key stakeholders in Mexico;
• Establishing Uber’s brand and profile with policy makers—including governments, third parties and academics; and
• Working to ensure that the regulatory framework in every Mexican market supports ridesharing apps like Uber.

What We’re Looking For

To succeed you’ll need to be:

• A self starter:  Uber is a company of entrepreneurs and we want to work with people who enjoy building things from the bottom up.  Stuff changes fast in our world so you’ll need to be highly adaptable as well as calm under pressure.  
• A great advocate:  We’re looking to create new regulatory frameworks that encourage innovation and alternatives to individual car ownership.  You’ll need the intellectual fire power to grasp complex policy issues as well as the ability to articulate clearly and simply how apps like Uber can help improve transportation for everyone—both orally and in writing.  
• A strong campaigner:  Smartphone apps are disruptive, and the interests being disrupted are deeply entrenched.  So you’ll need to put together proactive campaigns involving passengers, drivers and third parties that demonstrate there’s a better alternative to today’s outdated status quo.  That means having a bias for action in everything you do—and a willingness to engage in debates, that can often become heated.
• A team player:  Success at Uber depends on the ability to organize different teams (internally and externally) around shared goals.  It’s why we’re looking for well organized people who enjoy working with others to get stuff done—and who can deal with the ambiguity that sometimes comes from working cross-functionally.
• 5 years or less experience in the government affairs and policy field  

Ideally you would have a proven track record in government affairs, and/or public policy including communicating with a disparate team across multiple states, either for a company, a third party or in government.  But, we’re open to people who’ve been involved in other walks of life (e.g. the law, media, consultancy), intuitively get this stuff and may be looking for a career change.  Fluency in English, both oral and written, is essential.

Perks

• Employees are given Uber credits every month.
• Ground floor opportunity with the team; shape the strategic direction of the company.
• The rare opportunity to change the world such that everyone around you is using the product you built. We’re not just another social web app, we’re moving real people and assets and reinventing transportation and logistics globally.
• Sharp, motivated co-workers in a fun office environment.
