About the Role

We are looking for someone to join Uber's Public Policy team, based in Amsterdam and reporting to the Head of Public Policy, Northern Europe.

What You'll Do

1. Coordinate and deliver Uber's public affairs activities in one of Uber's most vibrant regions.
2. Act as a transparent and constructive stakeholder both internally and externally, to build lasting relationships with policymakers and key partners in Northern Europe.
3. Develop and deliver campaigns, events and engagement strategies to deepen Uber's partnership with cities and organizations across the Northern Europe region.
4. Analyze and navigate the national and local political environment to advocate for Uber's priorities, through existing knowledge of local and national political processes.
5. Collaborate with other teams throughout the business including Operations, Communications, Legal and Marketing - providing strategic advice across a range of core areas to the business.
6. Your regional scope will first include covering the Netherlands (in close collaboration with the Head of Public Policy, Northern Europe), Belgium and Denmark. Depending on your profile and appetite, you may have the opportunity to coordinate Uber's public affairs in other countries in the region (Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Luxembourg).

1. Experience: Ideally 7 + years of experience in Government, Parliament, public affairs, or consultancy. We are open to candidates from other areas that have a deep understanding of politics and policy issues and/or experience navigating complex topics who may be looking for a career change.
2. Ownership: All of us at Uber seek to work with people who enjoy solving problems, building things from the bottom up, and owning project until completion. You will be the owner of your projects from start to finish (goal setting, strategy development and execution). You need to be highly adaptable, as well as calm under pressure, able to set strategic priorities independently, and respect deadlines.
3. An exceptional advocate: We're looking for people who can distill complex ideas into simple, clear points. You'll need to write well and be comfortable speaking to a range of senior stakeholders - about our products, people and the ways we're working to improve life for customers, earners, partners and cities.

1. An expert negotiator: An ideal candidate will know how to navigate complex partnerships in both the private and public sector spheres, creating outcomes that are respectful of everyone's needs.
2. An advisor: We're looking for someone who enjoys working on complex business issues and going into technical details to provide tailored advise to their business counterparts.
3. A positive teammate: Success at Uber depends on your capacity to coordinate with different teams (internally and externally) around shared goals. It's why we're seeking well organized people that enjoy working with others to get stuff done - and who can deal with the ambiguity that sometimes comes from working cross-functionally in a very fast-paced company like Uber.
4. Language requirements: You need to be fluent in Dutch and English. Another language from the region (French, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian) would be an asset.
