About the role and team
The Community Operations organization at Uber is where real people solve real problems in real time. As a Service Team Lead, you aren't just managing a team; you are empowering the people who make movement possible. You’ll be focused on investing in the success of your specialists by providing the resources, feedback, and coaching that build the next leaders of Uber. This role is a high-stakes balance of technical oversight and human leadership-mentoring your team through the "messy" reality of global operations while driving the performance metrics that keep our business reliable.
Success in this role requires a "go-get-it" attitude and the grit to lead through constant change and high ambiguity. You’ll need to navigate the tension between operational efficiency and team wellbeing, making hard calls under pressure to ensure our customers are well taken care of. Whether you are leading technical quality specialists or content creators, you must be a leader who thrives on building high-performing teams, stays calm when the stakes are high, and moves with both urgency and care.
