Job description
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 Ads is one of the fastest-growing commerce media businesses in the industry, connecting brands to a high-intent, on-the-move audience across Lyft's rider and driver networks.

Additionally, you will lead the identification, evaluation, and commercialization of custom, bespoke data partnerships that unlock strategic value and incremental revenue streams for Lyft Ads. This role requires a rare blend of technical data literacy, commercial acumen, and operational execution. You will work closely with Product, Data Science, Engineering, Sales, and external partners to define how Lyft Ads goes to market and proves its value in the rapidly evolving commerce media landscape
