Ryan Graves, the first employee at Uber Technologies Inc. and a longtime board member, is stepping down from his management role after a tumultuous year.

Graves serves as senior vice president of operations at Uber and is on the executive leadership team tasked with running the business in the absence of a chief executive officer. Graves, 34, said in a staff email that he’ll relinquish those positions in mid-September but will remain on the board to help the ride-hailing company search for a CEO to replace co-founder Travis Kalanick, who was ousted in June.
