Job Title: Public Policy Senior Associate, West Africa
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
About this Role
- We are looking for someone work on our Government
Affairs & Policy team in West Africa, based in Lagos. You will report
directly to our Head of Public Policy, MEA.
This role will
involve:
- Supporting Uber’s Government Affairs & Policy team
in West Africa;
- Establishing Uber’s brand and profile with policy
makers – including governments, third parties and academics; and
- Working to ensure that the regulatory framework in
every country supports ride sharing apps like Uber.
What We’re Looking For
To succeed you’ll need to be:
To succeed you’ll need to be:
- A self starter: Uber is a company of entrepreneurs and
we want to work with people who enjoy building things from the bottom up.
Stuff changes fast in our world so you’ll need to be highly adaptable as
well as calm under pressure.
- A great advocate: We’re looking to create new
regulatory frameworks that encourage innovation and alternatives to
individual car ownership. You’ll need the intellectual fire power to grasp
complex policy issues as well as the ability to articulate clearly and
simply how apps like Uber can help improve transportation for everyone –
both orally and in writing.
- A strong campaigner: Smartphone apps are
disruptive, and the interests being disrupted are deeply entrenched. So
you’ll need to put together proactive campaigns involving passengers,
drivers and third parties that demonstrate there’s a better alternative to
today’s outdated status quo. That means having a bias for action in
everything you do – and a willingness to engage in debates, that can often
become heated.
- A team player: Success at Uber depends on the ability
to organize different teams (internally and externally) around shared
goals. It’s why we’re looking for well organized people who enjoy working
with others to get stuff done – and who can deal with the ambiguity that
sometimes comes from working cross-functionally.
Qualifications
- Ideally you would have 5+ years in government affairs,
but we’re open to people in other walks of life (e.g. the law, media,
consultancy) that intuitively get this stuff and may be looking for a
career change.
- Fluency in English, both oral and written, is
essential. Fluency in French is a plus.
