Senior Product Manager, Verticals

Lyft connects people to transportation to change the way we live and get around our communities. We are looking for product managers who bring exceptional creative and analytical skills to drive forward a best in class product. Product management at Lyft leads the integration of engineering, data science, and design to achieve the company's vision for reinventing transportation. We are looking for entrepreneurial and passionate Product Managers to innovate and execute across a rapidly growing, fast paced company and industry from our San Francisco headquarters.

Lyft's Verticals team owns three of the most strategically important and operationally complex marketplaces in our business: airports, scheduled rides, and events. These are the moments that matter most. Airports are a defining touchpoint in the Lyft experience: high-stakes, high-complexity, and critical to both rider trust and driver earnings. Scheduled rides give riders confidence and control while giving drivers greater predictability. Events, from packed stadium concerts to sold-out games, require precision logistics and seamless coordination at scale. Together, these verticals represent some of the highest-intent, highest-value use cases on the Lyft platform.

As a Senior Product Manager on the Verticals team, you'll lead a cross-functional team to shape how millions of people plan, book, and experience their journeys across these critical moments. You'll build seamless booking flows, deeply personalized experiences, and robust integrations with travel and event partners. You'll also take on some of the most complex challenges in rideshare: optimizing rider-driver matching in dynamic, high-variability environments, advancing demand forecasting, improving real-time driver guidance, and designing targeted incentives that drive growth. The solutions you build need to work everywhere, from a quiet regional airport to JFK, and from a Tuesday morning scheduled ride to 60,000 fans leaving a stadium at once.
