Director, Internal Audit – Regulatory, Legal & Policy

About the Role
Uber operates at the intersection of technology, mobility, commerce, and an increasingly complex global regulatory environment. As our business evolves, so do the legal, regulatory, and public policy risks that shape how we operate, innovate, and grow.
We are seeking a strategic and forward-thinking Director of Internal Audit to lead our Regulatory, Legal, and Public Policy Risk portfolio. This leader will anticipate emerging external risks, translate them into a forward-looking audit strategy, and deliver independent assurance and actionable insights that strengthen Uber's governance and risk management.
This highly visible role requires strong business judgment, executive presence, and the ability to connect complex regulatory developments with Uber's business strategy and operations. You will partner with senior leaders across Legal, Public Policy, Compliance and other teams as applicable while leading a high-performing audit team.
