Sales Packaging Manager, Lyft Ads
About The Position
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 Ads offers brands a unique opportunity to reach consumers during high-intent moments—on their way to concerts, sporting events, nights out, and everyday destinations. As part of this team, you'll help shape how we bring those moments to market and connect advertisers with millions of riders across the country.

This role sits at the intersection of analytics and go-to-market strategy. You'll spend your time digging into ride volume trends, identifying high-value moments for advertisers, and building packages that tell a clear story about when and why brands should show up on Lyft.
