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.

In order to build the world’s best transportation, we need to understand the physical world -- cities in particular. This is what makes Lyft different from many products: our products don’t just facilitate online interactions, but offline, real-world interactions. In order for every ride to happen on Lyft’s platform, a driver has to successfully rendezvous with a passenger. This ranges from easy (a private ride in a suburb in the middle of the day at a single-family home with a driveway) to incredibly difficult (a shared ride picking up two different passengers outside of Bed Bath and Beyond, each of whom have their hands full, when there’s nowhere to pull over except the bike lane...and you show up on the wrong side of the street.) Without mapping services, these two rides look exactly the same, which leads us to create experiences that are incredibly stressful for both our passengers and our drivers.

By understanding the physical world, we are able to optimally connect riders and drivers, set expectations with both on arrival and drop off times, assist keeping drivers safe on the road and passengers when getting into cars, and power greener forms of transportation such as bikes, scooters and public transit. 

Today, Lyft “curates” pickup + drop-off locations for major venues, like airports and sports stadiums. These annotations are not only critical to allow Lyft to comply with local regulations but also to facilitate magical pickup and drop-off experiences. We’re hiring a Venues product manager to 100x scale the impact of our annotations. You’ll fuse the power of data + algorithms with targeted edits by a team of operators to create new, transportation-specific mapping data sets that make Lyft magical across all modes (rideshare, bikes, scooters, transit, etc.) You’ll build a next-gen curation tool to create the data and direct the work of a team of 100+ operators across the US in operations, partnerships, public policy, enterprise to respond to incoming requests from cities, make live events awesome, etc. Finally, you’ll build in-app experiences that take advantage of these data sets.

Responsibilities:

• Lead product strategy and execution for Mapping Venues including building tools, processes and scalably mapping all Venues across Lyft markets
• Understand Lyft's strategic and competitive position. Set your team's goals, success metrics and roadmap to align with Lyft's mission and drive maximum impact based on data analysis, market research and usability studies.
• Completely own your team's products, existing or new, from ideation, through development, to launch, growth and maintenance.
• Lead and align cross functional partners and teams: engineers, designers, analysts, marketers, business partners and operations to drive a shared vision. 
• Communicate clearly roadmaps, priorities, experiments and decisions across a wide spectrum of audiences from partner teams to executive levels.
• There will be regular travel from New York to both San Francisco and Minsk required for this role 

Experience:

• Ideal candidates have experience building algorithms and tools for crowdsourcing data at scale and for human curation teams to use
• Machine learning and computer vision experience nice to have
• Minimum of 4 years of relevant experience
• Experience in product management, product design or equivalent consultant experience.
• An academic background in Computer Science or related engineering discipline.
• Passion for Lyft and what we are trying to achieve in sustainable urban transportation.
• Natural ability to make things happen around you. You manage project ambiguity, complexity, and interdependencies in an organized and structured way. Be able to define and analyze metrics that inform the success of products.
• Excellent judgment and thoughtfulness about the dynamics of a product ecosystem. 
• Strong communication skills and intuition for communication strategy at every level -- within teams, within the company, to users, to press, and other audiences.
• Experience leading post-launch optimizations including developing testing strategies.
• Ability to conceptualize, manage, and prioritize multiple projects for stakeholders.
• Detail oriented with superior organizational skills -- balancing multiple projects, deadlines, and requests should be second nature to you.
