• Support new business launches and M&A integrations – lead the accounting systems workstream for new market entries, product launches, and acquired entity integrations; build scalable onboarding frameworks that bring new revenue streams into Uber’s control environment quickly and accurately.
• Develop and grow the team – attract, retain, and develop a high-performing team of accounting systems managers and analysts; build a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, and technical excellence.
• Contribute to long-term organizational strategy – actively shape the Revenue Accounting organization’s technology vision, define team OKRs and roadmaps, and act as a thought leader across the broader Finance organization on the intersection of accounting and technology.
