About the Role

As the Director, Strategic Finance for Workforce & Places, you will serve as the "CFO" to the People and Places organizations, acting as the primary strategic bridge between Workforce (People) and Facilities (Places) functions. This is a highly operational, program-management, and relationship-driven role where the primary focus is Workforce Planning including the RE portfolio. This leader will manage a team of 8, partnering with C-level and executive stakeholders to align global workforce planning and facilities strategy with overall company financial targets.

What You’ll Do

Strategic Business Partnership & Executive Influence

• Serve as the primary strategic finance partner to the Head of People and the Head of Workplace, building trusted relationships with the new broader organization to drive alignment and present high-stakes financial narratives to the Executive Leadership Team.
• Co-develop long-range strategic goals, multi-year workforce planning frameworks, and real estate investment strategies
• Influence executive decision-making on complex capital allocation, organizational design, and global site strategy through rigorous, data-driven financial modeling
• Strategically establish appropriate systems across finance, as well as ensure alignment with People and Workplace technology implementation

Workforce & Headcount Financial Strategy

• Lead the enterprise-wide digital transformation for workforce management, taking immediate ownership of migrating away from fragmented Excel sheets to successfully implement Pigment (integrated with Oracle) to streamline and stabilize the headcount planning cycle
• Own the end-to-end P&L and long-range forecast for all People and Workforce related costs, including compensation, benefits, and equity expense modeling at a global scale
• Design and implement a scalable, integrated workforce planning process, redefining and institutionalizing monthly communication cadences for headcount up to executive levels, and establishing clear, programmatic boundaries between the finance and people organizations
• Develop and evolve real-time executive reporting dashboards for key people metrics (e.g., talent investment ROI, location strategy impact, attrition cost analysis)

Global Facilities & Places Portfolio Management

• Drive the multi-year financial planning and governance for the company's global real-estate and workplace portfolio, while maintaining a clear focus on workforce planning as the highest priority
• Partner with Operations and Facilities leadership to optimize space utilization and drive cost efficiencies across the entire portfolio

Team Leadership & Process Excellence

• Lead, mentor, and scale a high-performing Strategic Finance team, driving Programmatic Execution—bridging the gap between financial models and corporate-wide implementation and stakeholder alignment. The premium is placed on process architecture, operational design, and change management over complex financial modeling
• Drive process and system enhancements to ensure best-in-class financial planning, forecasting, and reporting capabilities across the organization

Basic Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive finance experience in Strategic Finance, FP&A, or Investment Banking, with a premium placed on process-building and operational design over heads-down financial modeling
• Proven success leading a finance function that directly supports a C-level executive or VP and influencing cross-functional leaders (e.g., Product, People, Operations, Strategy)
• Demonstrated track record of building, managing, and developing a team of 4+ direct reports
• Proven track record building and leading cross-functional processes and driving scale across complex, global tech organizations

Preferred Qualifications

• MBA or CFA preferred
• Expert-level knowledge of compensation structures, equity expense modeling, and international workforce accruals
• Exceptional executive presence and communication skills, with proven ability to distill complex data into compelling narratives for the Executive Leadership Team (ELT), navigating Uber’s unique, matrixed environment where headcount management sits with business Chiefs of Staff
• Deep experience with large-scale enterprise planning tools (Pigment/Oracle integration experience preferred) and a track record of applying a process architecture lens to financial framework
