At Lyft, our mission is to improve people’s lives with the world’s best transportation. To do this, we start with our own community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization.

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.

As the Product Manager for Cancel Policy you will be thinking about what our overall policy for cancelling rides should be while also keeping in mind our goals around a path to profitability. This person will be assessing and creating the products around when we charge a fee, how much we charge and in what type of context to name a few examples. If done well, cancel fees are a major line item and can represent a significant portion of driver earnings so we are looking for someone who can think about overall P&L and influence leadership. We use machine learning models to centralize complex logic around fee decisions and this person will also need to take a step back and think about how to shape these decisions while empathizing with the impacted users and understanding the long term impact of the fee policies.
