About the role
About the role and team
Leading at Uber means setting direction in motion, not waiting for perfect conditions. As a Principal University Recruiter, you are more than a talent partner—you are a high-level advisor helping our leadership make decisions that carry the weight of the business. You will navigate the intense, high-stakes environment of NAMER Intern hiring, where the answers aren't always clear and the pace is relentless. This role is about managing both the strategic and the messy—balancing the need for rapid scale with the discipline of objective, competency-based assessment.
Success here requires a mindset of extreme ownership and the resilience to navigate complex stakeholder dynamics. You’ll be part of a team where excellence is the norm, acting as a role model and mentor who raises the bar for the entire recruiting craft. If you thrive in ambiguity, move with urgency, and are motivated by the challenge of building high-performing teams through heart and grit, this is where you’ll make your mark.
What you’ll do
- Act as a diplomatic and confident advisor to candidates and business leaders, navigating high-pressure objections and complex closing scenarios with clarity and poise.
- Deeply understand the interdependencies of the businesses you support, advising leadership on team structure, leveling, and the long-term implications of every hire.
- Interpret holistic data and team analytics to build meaningful process improvements, turning metrics into narratives that drive high conversion and efficiency.
- Build and lead inclusive, objective hiring processes that ensure every candidate is assessed against the specific traits and competencies required to thrive at Uber.
- Autonomously develop and implement innovative sourcing strategies across multiple teams, solving complex pipeline issues and sharing best practices with the broader organization.
- Role model the recruiting craft by mentoring team members and ramping new joiners, ensuring the team stays energized and aligned with our cultural values.
Basic Qualifications
- 6+ years of professional experience, with a heavy focus on University Recruiting.
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience in full-cycle recruiting within a fast-paced environment.
Preferred Qualifications
- 8+ years of experience in recruiting, with a focus on senior-level business leaders and seasoned professional candidates.
- Proven track record of using data and market insights to influence hiring strategy and executive-level decision-making.
- Expertise in building diverse workforces and implementing inclusive assessment frameworks.
- Experience with iCIMS or other enterprise ATS, with a high attention to detail and data reliability.
- Strong systems thinking with the ability to lead strategic projects that innovate how we attract and secure top-tier talent.
