Job description

At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect. We aim to achieve this by cultivating a work environment where all team members belong and have the opportunity to thrive.

Lyft connects people to transportation to change the way we live and get around our communities. We are looking for product managers who bring exceptional creative, strategic, and analytical skills to drive forward a best in class product. Product managers at Lyft lead the integration of engineering, data science, and design to achieve the company's vision of reinventing transportation. We are looking for entrepreneurial and passionate product managers to innovate and execute across a rapidly growing, fast paced company and industry.

The Rider org is responsible for the Lyft consumer app that you know and love (we hope!), and spans the entire consumer journey across requesting, purchase flow, pickup, in-trip experience, drop offs, and time between rides. Within this org, we're hiring a Senior PM to lead our vision defining the future of Rider products and experiences, with a focus on AI-enabled ride booking, intelligent trip assistance, and evaluating emerging technologies to transform how millions of riders interact with Lyft. The right PM for this role will have an entrepreneurial mindset and will iterate rapidly to validate ideas. They will operate with an enormous amount of empathy, be deeply analytical, and partner effectively inside and outside Lyft to deliver products that delight our users and reflect our brand values.

Responsibilities:

• Understand Lyft's strategic priorities and AI technology trends, in order to set an ambitious product vision that motivates and inspires your team, peers and leadership

• Set your team's goals, success metrics and roadmap, leading a core team of engineers, designers, data scientists, and marketers in execution
• Collaborate extremely effectively across the company and external parties, clearly communicating roadmaps, priorities, experiments, and decisions across a wide spectrum of audiences from partner teams to executives
• Deeply understand the needs and motivations of your customers across different rider segments and use cases – leveraging data analysis, market research, and user research to inform your decisions

Experience:

• 5+ years of product management, consulting, entrepreneurial or equivalent experience, with exposure to early stage products or consumer tech
• 2+ years working on third-party integrations, tech partnerships or API-based products
• Ability to collaborate effectively across internal and external partner teams, capable of synthesizing input into cohesive, scalable platform solutions
• Natural leadership and ability to make things happen. You manage project ambiguity, complexity, and interdependencies in an organized and structured way, and you are able to define and analyze metrics that inform the success of your products
• Excellent judgment and thoughtfulness about the dynamics of the product ecosystem.
• Strong communication skills with various audiences and levels, including conveying complex and technical concepts in a compelling and easily understandable manner
• Detail-oriented with superior organizational skills – balancing multiple projects, deadlines, and requests should be second nature to you

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
