Finance Business Operations Manager
About The Position
Lyft is seeking a high-impact Finance BizOps leader to drive disciplined execution of organic and inorganic initiatives, including M&A integration, strategic programs (AVs, Luxury), and new product initiatives (NPIs). This strategy-to-execution role requires strong judgment, cross-functional leadership, and the ability to drive outcomes in ambiguous, high-stakes environments. The role will own finance integration execution, NPI financial readiness, and the governance layer connecting Finance to strategic initiatives. It serves as the operating backbone for Finance, ensuring seamless acquisitions, clean new product launches, and rigorous prioritization of Finance work. As Lyft scales, the volume and complexity of strategic initiatives increase, necessitating a centralized operating model for disciplined execution, effective Finance embedding, and scalable operations without accumulating debt.
