We are looking for entrepreneurial and passionate Product Managers to innovate and execute across a rapidly growing, fast-paced company and industry.

Autonomous vehicles are one of Lyft's most strategic and exciting product areas.

This role sits at the intersection of product, partnerships, and platform, requiring someone equally comfortable diving into technical integration details and navigating complex partner relationships.

  • Own the product strategy to launch, scale, and deepen select AV partnerships in new cities, aligning your team’s goals, success metrics, and roadmap to align with Lyft’s mission and autonomous vehicle strategy

  • Leverage AI tools and emerging technology to accelerate your team's workflows and enhance the products you build
Experience:
  • 5+ years of product management experience, with significant time spent on consumer-facing or platform products
  • Track record of building and shipping 0-to-1 products with measurable user and business impact in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
  • Experience navigating complex cross-functional environments where you influence without direct authority
  • Strong business judgment, with the ability to balance end-consumer and partner needs

  • Strong communication skills across audiences and levels, and experience working with external technical partners and senior leadership
  • Customer obsessed - strong user empathy and experience in the customer discovery and product development process
  • Familiarity with the operational complexity of physical-world services — where software launches intersect with on-the-ground readiness
