About the Role

Reimagining Financial Empowerment at Uber

At Uber, we’re redefining the future of embedded finance—building innovative products that unlock economic opportunity and empower millions around the world. As a Senior Technical Program Manager on the Financial Products team, you’ll help shape and scale solutions like Gifting, Uber Pro Debit, Consumer Credit, Earner and Merchant Lending, and Remittances. These offerings drive greater financial access and flexibility for drivers, couriers, merchants, and consumers across our global platform. Join a passionate, cross-functional team of engineers, PMs, designers, and data scientists, and help build what’s next in global financial empowerment.

What the Candidate Will Do:

  • Lead the end-to-end delivery of complex, high-impact technical programs — from initial concept through launch and ongoing iteration — with a focus on financial products such as payments, lending, credit card and stored value systems.
  • Partner closely with Engineering, Product, Data Science, Legal, Business Development and Compliance teams to design and implement scalable, secure, and compliant solutions that meet both user needs and regulatory requirements.
  • Proactively identify risks, bottlenecks, and dependencies; resolve issues before they impact timelines or quality of delivery.
  • Drive cross-functional strategic planning processes, including defining program scope, aligning on priorities, managing resources, and communicating tradeoffs to stakeholders.
  • Establish clear success metrics and tracking mechanisms to ensure programs deliver measurable business value.
  • Act as a central point of coordination across global and regional teams, aligning efforts and ensuring consistent execution across multiple workstreams.
  • Champion operational excellence by continuously improving program delivery frameworks, communication channels, and team collaboration models.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 10+ years of experience as a Technical Program Manager or Engineering Manager in software or systems development.
  • Proven success in managing end-to-end delivery of technical programs in the payments or financial technology domain.
  • Strong technical acumen and problem solving skills, with experience in distributed systems and microservices architectures.
  • Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to influence diverse stakeholders and drive alignment.
  • Mastery of project management methodologies (Agile, Waterfall) and tools.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Proven track record of launching critical products, ideally in FinTech, payments, or other regulated industries.
  • Deep understanding of financial services, including payment systems, consumer lending, debit/credit cards, and payment processing.
  • Experience navigating regulatory and compliance frameworks.
  • Strong analytical and data-driven decision-making skills; adept at defining and tracking program KPIs.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead large, cross-functional initiatives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
  • Skilled in strategic planning, resource allocation, risk management, and stakeholder coordination.
  • Exceptional multitasking and prioritization abilities across concurrent projects.
