About The Role Uber is evolving the way the world moves by integrating advanced intelligence into every facet of our global platform to create more intuitive and proactive experiences. We are establishing a core leadership group to define how the next generation of AI-driven interactions will scale across our flagship products and physical‑world logistics. We are looking for a strategic coach/player—a Lead Product Designer—with deep AI fluency and the organizational maturity to architect Uber's intelligence layer. You must be a systems thinker comfortable in the trenches of high‑fidelity craft and capable of rallying global teams around a shared vision. What You Will Do Partner within a high‑density senior design pod to define the high‑level design strategy for intelligent experiences and agentic behaviors across the user journey. Establish a unified horizontal AI strategy, partnering with vertical product teams to ensure localized experiments align with a cohesive global design language. Drive the evolution of global AI design standards, translating flagship innovations into scalable frameworks and primitives that empower teams across the organization. Solve the complex product experience challenges of non‑deterministic systems, using rapid prototyping to validate system uncertainty, multimodal interaction, and trust in physical‑world logistics. Work with user research to conduct rapid testing and synthesis of agentic experience learnings to form a framework and UX principles. Partner with senior Engineering and Product leads to shape the AI roadmap, advocating for design‑led technical investments that enable proactive, human‑centered behaviors. Serve as an organizational "bar‑raiser," collaborating with peer leads to navigate new technical paradigms and raise collective AI fluency while maintaining an exceptional standard for individual craft. Basic Qualifications 7+ years of experience in product design, leading high‑visibility projects in complex, multi‑service environments. Preferred Qualifications Direct experience launching Generative AI features, LLM‑driven interfaces, or multi‑step agentic workflows in a consumer‑facing context. Track record of translating a North Star product vision into a codified UI framework or system for others to build upon. Deep understanding of LLM capabilities, latency, and multimodal inputs, with experience partnering closely with engineering on technical specs. Proficiency in high‑fidelity prototyping, motion design, or AI‑specific tools to simulate non‑linear, real‑time system behaviors. Technically curious and experimental, with a proven ability to translate frontier technologies into tangible product experiences. Proven ability to drive organizational alignment across diverse product verticals through collaborative leadership and consensus‑building. Experience building or governing design systems adopted at scale across multiple product surfaces. Exceptional ability to communicate complex product visions and technical tradeoffs to executive stakeholders. Adept at navigating extreme ambiguity and leading 0‑1 initiatives with the strategic agility to recalibrate in response to shifting technical paradigms.
