About the Role

Uber is looking for a Federal Tax Manager as a key operator within the U.S. tax function, owning the federal tax provision with a high degree of independence and supporting tax decision-making in a dynamic, fast-paced global environment.

• Identify and resolve inconsistencies proactively as inputs evolve or results do not align with expectations
• Validate that models and processes continue to function correctly as the business scales

Team Leadership & Collaboration -

• Mentor and develop a Senior Tax Analyst, providing guidance on both technical work and review approach
• Manage timelines, deliverables, and communication with the Global Tax Accounting team
• Partner with the U.S. Compliance team to provide technical guidance and review on U.S. tax filings and estimated tax payments
• Collaborate with SALT and U.S. International Tax teams, as well as other stakeholders

Process Improvement & Systems -

• Identify opportunities to improve and scale tax processes, with a focus on reducing risk and increasing efficiency
• Contribute to process and technology improvements, including Oracle Tax Reporting Cloud Service (TRCS) and ONESOURCE Tax Provision (OTP)
• Apply a growth mindset — build practical solutions, iterate, and refine

Additional Responsibilities -

• Liaise with and manage external advisors to ensure timely and effective tax support
• Support tax audits and related documentation
• Prepare reconciliations and analyses as needed

Basic Qualifications:

• 5+ years of relevant tax and accounting experience in either an in-house or public accounting environment
• Strong experience in U.S. federal income tax provision (ASC 740)
• Experience with uncertain tax positions
• Working knowledge of recent U.S. tax law changes including One Big Beautiful Bill
• Working knowledge of U.S. international tax concepts (e.g., GILTI, FDII) and SALT
• Familiarity with tax provision systems, such as TRCS and OTP
• Ability to work with large datasets using Excel or leveraging AI tools

Preferred Qualifications:

• CPA / MST preferred
• Experience with large public U.S. multinationals
• Experience with ONESOURCE Income Tax and ONESOURCE Uncertain Tax Positions module
• Experience with Oracle HFM or FCCS
• Experience leveraging AI tools to improve workflows
