We are seeking an Analyst to join the AV (Autonomous Vehicle) Market Management team to develop and execute strategies that drive Lyft’s market growth. You will lead both defensive and offensive initiatives in regions where we compete or collaborate with autonomous vehicle companies within a hybrid network.

From long-term strategic planning to agile weekly operations, you will own a broad portfolio of business-critical initiatives. You will identify key market gaps, design business and product strategies to address them, and partner with cross-functional teams to deliver measurable impact.

The ideal candidate is proactive, has strong analytical capabilities, and can collaborate effectively across teams.

Responsibilities:

• Drive analytical and strategic assessments of the evolving autonomous vehicle (AV) markets, including competitor performance, industry trends, and Lyft marketplace dynamics.
• Develop and execute strategies to compete and collaborate with AV companies, driving market growth and share expansion through weekly operations.
• Leverage data and analytics to identify performance gaps and opportunities in AV rideshare regions, synthesize insights, and recommend business strategies and decisions to the executive leadership.
• Partner with Data Science, Product, Engineering, and other cross-functional teams to deliver business, product, and strategy improvements as Lyft transitions toward a hybrid network of human drivers and autonomous vehicles.
• Influence long-term product roadmaps based on marketplace learnings and emerging AV trends.
• Be proactive in pursuing opportunities and have a true ownership mindset to get things done

Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree with a focus in analytics, statistics, economics, finance, marketing, or other quantitative fields
• 3+ years experience in management consulting, strategic data science/analytics roles in a technology company, or an equivalent analytical role in a high growth startup
• Experience analyzing data, extracting key insights and trends, and producing actionable recommendations from the data
• Ability to think strategically and tackle open-ended problems, leading to analysis, recommendations, and next steps
• Experience building relationships and influence with cross-functional teams
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present findings and recommendations to different types of stakeholders, including senior leadership
• Proficient in SQL and Excel/Google Sheets with strong quantitative analysis and data visualization skills
• You are a self-starter, take ownership, and are proactive; you have an eagerness to identify opportunities and a drive for impact

Benefits:

• Extended health and dental coverage options, along with life insurance and disability benefits
• Mental health benefits
• Family building benefits
• Child care and pet benefits
• Access to a Lyft funded Health Care Savings Account
• RRSP plan to help save for your future
• In addition to provincial observed holidays, salaried team members are covered under Lyft’s flexible paid time off policy. The policy allows team members to take off as much time as they need (with manager approval). Hourly team members get 15 days paid time off, with an additional day for each year of service
• Lyft is proud to support new parents with 18 weeks of paid time off, designed as a top-up plan to complement provincial programs. Biological, adoptive, and foster parents are all eligible.
