Executive Social and Communications Manager

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.

We're looking for a strategic, creative, and highly proactive Executive Social & Communications manager to shape how Lyft's top executives show up in the world. This role sits at the intersection of executive communications and social storytelling, and you’ll move between them various times in the same day. This encompasses everything from owning everything from high-level communications strategy to hands-on content creation, platform management, and real-time execution. You'll be a key partner to the CEO and executive team, translating business priorities into compelling narratives and cultural moments across channels. You're a trusted partner to senior leaders, a sharp editor, a fast content creator, and someone who never thinks a task is too big or small. You work well in a high-trust environment, handle confidential information with discretion, and demonstrate good judgement for decisions around public identity.

This role reports to the Director of Corporate Communications.

• Develop thought leadership campaigns and roadmaps that position executives as industry leaders while reinforcing Lyft's purpose and business priorities
• Manage execution across all external executive communications: with media, at speaking engagements, and on social channels
• You're equally comfortable editing an executive video and thinking through a six-month thought leadership arc in the same day
• Design and execute digital strategy around executive events and appearances: pre-event positioning, real-time coverage, and post-event amplification across social and beyond
• Lead experimentation in emerging formats and platforms, identifying new content types that expand executives' reach and engagement on social platforms
• Track KPIs to measure impact, learn from insights, and pivot as needed 

• Meaningful experience supporting executives across both strategy and execution - typically 4-7 years, though range and competence matters more than years.
• Ideal candidate has experience supporting individuals with a track record of impactful media placements and growth in social engagement and influence
• Ability to fluidly navigate between strategy, media relations, and social content execution. 
• Content creation skills across copy, video, and visual formats, including on-the-fly content capture and editing short-form video clips made for social

• 401(k) plan with company match to help save for your future
