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. Data is at the heart of Lyft’s products and decision-making. You will leverage data and rigorous, analytical thinking to shape our products and make business decisions. This will involve performing rigorous product deep dives, identifying opportunities for product enhancements, and measuring the impact of new features. The Global Growth organization is chartering the future for Lyft’s growth, focused on expanding Lyft beyond North American rideshare’s core products. This includes our premium Luxury modes and Livery drivers, building a unified Lyft presence internationally, and enabling Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) domestically and abroad. These teams are at the center of innovation and the future of Lyft’s growth, and this role would be directly shaping the strategic roadmap for these crucial areas. As a Senior Analyst, you will collaborate with our world class team of engineers, product managers, and designers to build the roadmap for business and product expansion to meet the needs of our international customers. The ideal candidate is a thought leader in this space, working across multiple functions and geographies. This role blends strong business acumen, marketplace dynamics, and strategic understanding of regulatory landscapes to craft a vision for Lyft around the globe. This role will help define Lyft’s strategy for where and how Lyft expands its footprint around the world, sizes the opportunity, scopes the unique products required, and is a liaison to our central marketplace teams. In this role, you will help us tackle problems such as: How will global expansion impact our current North American rideshare users? How does the competitive landscape in future geographies impact our growth strategy? What product developments do we need to develop to successfully expand and gain market share? How does our global expansion align with our future autonomous-hybrid marketplace growth plans?
