Account 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.

Lyft Business is changing the way companies, brands and organizations leverage the Lyft platform to redefine the way they operate and move people around. We are solving big problems, and meeting the needs of our clients and the people they care about in a whole new way. We realize that the world has changed so much recently, and that the needs of our customers and how they envision transportation is changing too. Our work is fun, challenging and rewarding and we are looking for customer and growth-focused team members passionate about solving problems and delighting our customers.

We’re building the next great transportation platform, and we need world-class talent and candidates that aren’t afraid to try new things and think outside the box to build new business.
