INTRODUCTION
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 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 and New York offices.
The Customer Care team makes sure that every time Lyft enters a new market, launches a new mode, or works with a new partner, riders and drivers get the support experience they expect from day one. Some of Lyft's biggest growth bets run straight through this work: expanding into new countries, putting riders into autonomous vehicles with partners like Waymo and May Mobility, and standing up entirely new lines of business. This role owns customer care across these initiatives: shaping the support experience for each, and building the platform, playbooks, and standards that let us launch the next one faster than the last. You'll work hand in hand with the internal & external teams leading each initiative, bringing a strong, independent point of view on what great customer care takes. It's high-visibility work tied directly to where Lyft is growing next.
Responsibilities:
- Own the customer care and support experience for Lyft's highest-priority growth initiatives—spanning international expansion, autonomous vehicles, and new lines of business
- Partner closely with the internal teams leading each initiative, folding customer care into the broader launch and bringing a strong, independent point of view on what great support requires
- Balance near-term launch deadlines against the longer-term goal of a repeatable customer care platform—deciding when to ship a one-off and when to invest in foundations that pay off across every future launch
- Build the customer care runbooks, product guidelines, and support standards that make each new market and partnership faster and more consistent than the last
- Define what an excellent support experience looks like across new markets, modes, and partners, for both riders and drivers
- Drive execution with product, engineering, operations, legal, and external partners to launch support on time and at quality
- Define the customer care metrics that matter and use them to prioritize and show impact
Experience:
- 5+ years of product management experience, ideally including launch-heavy or 0-to-1 work
- A track record of shipping in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with many cross-functional dependencies & partners
- Ability to balance short-term delivery against long-term platform thinking + creating a roadmap to match
- Willingness to work East Coast hours to collaborate with international and EU-based partners and teams
- Bonus: experience with international/expansion, marketplace, autonomous, or partnership-driven products
- Strengths:
- Cross-functional influence: You lead and align teams you don't own, and bring a clear point of view rather than waiting for direction
- Customer obsession: You care deeply about the support experience and dig into the details of customer, driver, and partner problems
- Structured thinking: You bring order to ambiguous, multi-stakeholder problems and make the tradeoffs explicit
- Bias to action: You move quickly, ship, and iterate
- Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Math, or equivalent technical experience strongly preferred
BENEFITS:
- Great medical, dental, and vision insurance options with additional programs available when enrolled
- Mental health benefits
- Family building benefits
- Child care and pet benefits
- 401(k) plan with company match to help save for your future
- In addition to 12 observed holidays, salaried team members have discretionary paid time off, hourly team members have 15 days paid time off
- 18 weeks of paid parental leave. Biological, adoptive, and foster parents are all eligible
- Subsidized commuter benefits
- Monthly Lyft credits and complimentary Lyft Pink membership

Frame your PM portfolio around platform products
Lyft's PM interviews weight product sense heavily toward two-sided marketplace problems. Build case studies around driver supply, pricing systems, or safety features before your first screen, not after you get an offer.
Confirm LCA filings before accepting any offer
Before signing, ask your recruiter whether the role is H-1B cap-subject or cap-exempt. Lyft files Labor Condition Applications through DOL, and the certified LCA must name the specific worksite, so confirm the location matches your intended work arrangement.
Target teams hiring for your specific visa category
Lyft sponsors multiple visa types for Product Managers. If you're on F-1 OPT, identify teams with active headcount well before your OPT expiration, since an H-1B cap filing requires the October 1 start date to align with your authorized stay.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open roles by sponsorship type
Lyft posts Product Manager roles across several functions simultaneously. Use Migrate Mate to surface only the positions confirmed to sponsor your specific visa category, so you're not spending prep time on roles that won't support your status.
Negotiate Green Card sponsorship timing before day one
Lyft has sponsored EB-2 and EB-3 pathways for Product Managers. PERM labor certification timelines run long, so ask during offer negotiation at what seniority level the company initiates the process, not after you've already started.
Prepare for structured PM interviews with product metrics focus
Lyft's PM hiring panels typically include a data exercise alongside product design questions. Practice defining success metrics for marketplace features, since interviewers assess whether you can connect product decisions to measurable business outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Lyft sponsor H-1B visas for Product Managers?
Yes, Lyft sponsors H-1B visas for Product Manager roles. The process involves Lyft filing a Labor Condition Application with DOL and then submitting an H-1B petition to USCIS on your behalf. If you're subject to the annual cap, your start date must align with the October 1 fiscal year start. Raise sponsorship eligibility early in the interview process to confirm the specific role qualifies.
How do I apply for Product Manager jobs at Lyft?
Applications go through Lyft's careers site, where PM roles are listed by team and seniority. You can also browse verified open Product Manager positions at Lyft filtered by visa sponsorship type on Migrate Mate, which helps you identify roles that actively support your specific immigration status before investing time in the application process.
Which visa types does Lyft commonly sponsor for Product Manager roles?
Lyft sponsors several visa categories for Product Managers, including H-1B, E-3 visa (for Australian citizens), TN visa (for Canadian and Mexican nationals), J-1 visa, and F-1 OPT and CPT for students. For longer-term pathways, Lyft has also supported EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship. The available types can vary by role level and team, so confirm which categories apply during the offer stage.
What qualifications does Lyft expect for Product Manager roles?
Lyft typically looks for Product Managers with experience owning a product end-to-end, comfort working with engineering and data teams, and the ability to define and track metrics. For mid-level and senior roles, prior experience in marketplace, mobility, or platform products is valued. Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguous product problems and communicate clearly to cross-functional stakeholders is consistently weighted heavily in interviews.
How do I time my application around visa deadlines?
If you're on F-1 OPT, target Lyft's hiring cycles well before your work authorization expires, since cap-subject H-1B filings must be submitted in March for an October 1 start. For TN or E-3 holders, Lyft can initiate a transfer relatively quickly. For those seeking EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship, USCIS and PERM processing can take years, so ask about Green Card timelines at the offer stage.
