Uber President Jill Hazelbaker Steps Down November 30, Per Uber's 8-K

4 November 2026. Uber Technologies said in a Form 8-K filed on 4 November 2026 that Jill Hazelbaker, its President and Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, will step down from that role on 30 November 2026. The filing says she is leaving "for an external opportunity" and does not name the opportunity or a successor.

When does Jill Hazelbaker leave Uber?

Hazelbaker's last day in the role is 30 November 2026, according to Item 5.02 of Uber's 8-K. The filing dates the announcement to 4 November 2026. Yahoo Finance's syndicated Investing.com report says Uber made the announcement on Tuesday, which was 3 November.

The same 8-K also furnished Uber's results for the third quarter ended 30 September 2026, under Item 2.02. The departure and the earnings release therefore reached the market in the same filing. Readers who want the quarter's numbers should read the press release furnished with that filing, not coverage of the departure. That release is Exhibit 99.1 to the 8-K, so it is the company's own wording on the results, and it is the place to check any figure reported in the press.

What does Uber's filing say about the reason for the departure?

The filing gives one reason: "an external opportunity." It does not describe the opportunity, name a company, or give a start date for any new role.

Uber's CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, said in the same filing: "I'll miss her and wish her the best as she takes on her next adventure." Hazelbaker said: "Helping build Uber, and working alongside Dara, has been one of the great privileges of my career."

Who will take over Hazelbaker's responsibilities?

The filing does not name a successor. It also does not say whether her role will be refilled, split up or closed. Anyone reading the November filing for a handover plan will find none. A reader who needs a name should look for a later filing or a company statement, because nothing in the November 8-K supplies one. Until one appears, a report that names a successor has no primary source behind it.

The May 2026 8-K gives the scope that will need an owner. In May, Uber said Hazelbaker would take over the responsibilities previously held by Nikki Krishnamurthy and oversee the company's Safety Operations function.

How did Hazelbaker's role change in May 2026?

Uber's 8-K for an event dated 5 May 2026, filed 11 May 2026, said she would move from Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President, Communications & Public Policy, to President & Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, effective immediately. The filing says she is 44 and had held the CMO and SVP role since June 2019.

The two filings describe the same role at different points, so comparing them shows what each one discloses and what it leaves out. The May filing is the only one in these sources that gives pay terms for the role. The November filing's Item 5.02 mentions no compensation arrangement. The table compares the two filings on the terms each one discloses.

What is still unclear?

The filing leaves four questions open. First, Uber does not say where Hazelbaker is going. Second, the filing does not say who will run her areas after 30 November. Third, it does not say whether her May 2026 equity awards will change as a result of the departure. Fourth, it does not say whether the role itself will continue. Each of these is a question for Uber. Trade-press reports that name a destination for Hazelbaker have not been confirmed from any primary source, so this post leaves them out. The reason and the next role stay open until the company or a later filing says more.

The sources also disagree on timing. The Investing.com report syndicated by Yahoo Finance says the announcement came on Tuesday, 3 November 2026. The 8-K gives 4 November 2026. A reader comparing the two should note that they differ by one day.

The 8-K confirms the departure and its date, but it does not explain the move. Any account of the reason or the next role would need a second primary source.

How can a reader check an executive departure like this?

Start with Item 5.02 of the Form 8-K. Uber's filing says who is leaving, when, and why, in one or two sentences. The filing's accession number, 0001543151-26-000039, identifies the document on EDGAR. The cover page gives the date of report as 4 November 2026, which should match the date in any article repeating the departure. The filing index lists Items 2.02, 5.02 and 9.01, so the filing covers more than the departure. When a news item gives a different day for the same announcement, check the date of report first, since it is the reference point for this post.

Check the filing index for the same company before drawing conclusions. Earlier filings on the same person, such as the May 2026 promotion, show what the role covered and what pay was disclosed.
