Product Manager, Rider App

At Lyft, our mission is to improve people’s lives with the world’s best transportation. To do this, we start with our own community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization.

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 and analytical skills to drive forward a best in class product. Product management at Lyft leads the integration of engineering, data science, and design to achieve the company’s vision for reinventing transportation. We are looking for entrepreneurial and passionate Product Managers to innovate and execute across a rapidly growing, fast paced company and industry from our San Francisco headquarters.

The Rider App team is responsible for the Lyft consumer app you know and love (we hope!). This team spans the entire consumer journey across the request and purchase flows, search, pickups and drop offs, the post-match experience, and the in-trip experience. Within this team we’re hiring for the PM lead for one of the most critical areas of the Rider App - the request flow, beginning after the rider enters a destination. This is where Lyft surfaces all of its offerings and is a critical area we see tremendous potential to evolve Lyft to become the preferred transportation app that effectively brings together all Lyft modes across Rideshare, Autonomous, Rentals and Bikes and Scooters. The right PM for this role will be deeply analytical and comfortable with ML systems, have an enormous amount of user empathy, and be extremely effective at partnering across Lyft to deliver a request flow experience that represents our brand values, activates our lines of business and delights our users.
