Flexdrive is a fleet management company that manages roughly 15,000 vehicles and is building the future of AV fleet management with operations in the US and Europe.
We are looking for an experienced business operations professional who is passionate about developing Flexdrive's systems, processes, and operations. This role owns the financial modeling and analytics that drive fleet management strategy, including forecasting short- and long-term outcomes, monitoring market conditions, supporting expansion into autonomous vehicles, and translating data into actionable recommendations.
You will serve as a subject matter expert across multiple business verticals, reviewing actual spend against forecast, building predictive financial models, identifying anomalies in complex invoice workflows, and supporting month-end close deliverables. This role supports both the rental business and AVs, meaning you will operate across the full spectrum of Flexdrive's portfolio as we scale.

- Produce and present regular performance reporting with clear attribution of forecast to actual variances, emerging trends, and areas of opportunity to improve margins and reduce cost.
- Business Operations & Process Ownership
- Own and optimize core business processes across fleet operations, vendor management, and financial operations.
- Review actual spend against forecast on a recurring basis, identifying variances and driving root-cause analysis.
- Identify anomalies in complex invoice workflows (e.g., OEM parts, depot services, insurance, maintenance) and resolve discrepancies cross-functionally.
- Build and maintain dashboards, reports, and tracking mechanisms that give leadership real-time visibility into fleet health and financial performance.
- Drive and support automation of manual processes.
- Develop business processes to achieve financial goals.
- Work on ad hoc strategic and operational projects as needed.
- Month-End Close & Financial Operations
- Support month-end close deliverables including fleet/operational reporting, accruals, reconciliations, and variance analysis.
- Partner with FP&A, Treasury, and Accounting to ensure accurate and timely financial reporting.
- Develop and document standard operating procedures for recurring financial and operational workflows.
- AV Fleet Operations Support
- Support the financial and operational buildout of Flexdrive's AV fleet management infrastructure as we scale deployments with partners.
- Develop cost-per-mile models, depot cost analyses, and unit economics frameworks for AV operations.
- Collaborate with Strategy, Infrastructure, and Fleet Ops teams to translate AV deployment plans into financial projections.
- Cross-Functional Partnership
- Serve as the connective tissue between Business Operations, Finance, Fleet Operations, and external partners.
- Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to drive operational efficiency, cost optimization, and process improvement.
- Communicate financial insights and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Experience:

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill complex analyses into clear, executive-ready insights.
- Exceptional attention to detail and a track record of producing accurate, reliable analytical work.
- Ability to manage multiple high priority demands simultaneously; ability to achieve success in situations with high degrees of variation and complexity.
Bonus Points
- Experience in fleet management, rideshare, rental, or autonomous vehicles.
- Familiarity with vehicle remarketing, wholesale markets, or fleet lifecycle economics.
- Experience with BI tools (Tableau, Looker, Mode) or SQL for ad-hoc data analysis.
- Proficient in Salesforce generating and customizing reports and dashboards.
- Background working in a high-growth or startup environment where you built systems from zero.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Lyft E-3 Visa Sponsorship Jobs USA
Align your degree to Lyft's specialty occupation standard
Lyft's E-3 roles in engineering and data science require a directly related degree field, not just any bachelor's. Cross-check your credential against the O*NET occupation profile for your target role before applying to confirm the degree-to-job match.
Target teams with established engineering headcount
Lyft's core engineering, marketplace algorithms, and driver-platform teams have the most consistent sponsorship history. Roles inside these product-aligned groups are more likely to have an immigration-ready hiring process than newer or experimental divisions.
Request the LCA before accepting an offer
Ask Lyft's recruiting team early whether a certified Labor Condition Application is already in place for the role. If it isn't, factor DOL certification time into your start-date negotiation, since you can't apply for the E-3 without it.
Use Migrate Mate to verify Lyft's prevailing wage posture
Pull Lyft's DOL filing history through Migrate Mate to see what wage levels they've certified for roles similar to yours. If their offered salary sits below Level II, that's a signal worth raising before the offer stage, not after.
Prepare for consular scrutiny on specialty occupation evidence
Lyft is a technology platform company, not a traditional software firm, so consular officers occasionally probe whether a given role genuinely qualifies as a specialty occupation. Bring a detailed employer support letter explaining exactly how your position requires your specific degree field.
Build in buffer time around Lyft's onboarding calendar
E-3 consular processing in Australia runs two to four weeks on average, but appointment availability at Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth varies by season. Coordinate your interview booking with Lyft's HR team to avoid missing a cohort start date.
Lyft E-3 Visa Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Lyft sponsor E-3 visas?
Yes, Lyft sponsors E-3 visas for eligible Australian nationals. The company has an active immigration program that supports E-3 filings primarily in technology, data, and operations functions. Sponsorship is role-specific, so confirm with the recruiting team during the offer stage that your position qualifies as a specialty occupation under USCIS guidelines.
Which roles at Lyft are most likely to receive E-3 sponsorship?
Software engineering, data science, machine learning, product management, and certain operations roles are the most common E-3 pathways at Lyft. These positions typically satisfy the specialty occupation requirement because they mandate a directly related bachelor's degree. Generalist or support roles without a specific degree requirement are less likely to qualify.
How do I navigate the E-3 application process after receiving a Lyft offer?
Once Lyft issues an offer, their immigration team or outside counsel files the Labor Condition Application with DOL. After DOL certifies the LCA, you take that document plus the offer letter and supporting credentials to your nearest U.S. consulate in Australia. You don't file with USCIS for an E-3 obtained at a consulate, which keeps the timeline shorter than most work visa categories.
How long does E-3 sponsorship take at Lyft from offer to start date?
Plan for four to six weeks from accepted offer to visa in hand, assuming no administrative processing delays. The LCA certification with DOL typically takes seven business days. Consular appointment availability in Australia drives most of the variance. Build this window into your negotiations with Lyft so your start date is realistic rather than aspirational.
How do I find and apply for E-3 roles at Lyft?
Search Migrate Mate to filter for Lyft roles where E-3 sponsorship is confirmed through DOL Labor Condition Application data, so you're applying to positions with a documented sponsorship track record rather than guessing from a generic careers page. When you reach the offer stage, ask Lyft's recruiter directly whether the role has been designated for E-3 sponsorship and who manages their immigration filings.
What is the prevailing wage for E-3 sponsorship at Lyft?
E-3 employers must pay at least the prevailing wage, determined when they file a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor. The rate is based on the role, location, and experience level, ensuring Australian hires are paid comparably to U.S. workers in the same position. You can look up prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the DOL's OFLC Wage Search tool.
