strong appreciation for the details that make or break a partnership. Above all, you are a self-starter who takes ownership and

gets things done.

Support Lyft's participation in regular partner operational reviews, ensuring commercial commitments and contractual milestones

are accurately represented and any commercial issues surfaced are followed through

Ensure deal value is fully realized by making sure Lyft's programmatic and operational teams are fully briefed on commercial

terms, partner expectations, and contractual commitments as they assume day-to-day management and execution

Be the connective tissue between the partnerships team and the business by surfacing working level issues to leadership,

developing solutions to problems, and helping resolve the commercial friction that can slow partnerships down

Help build the foundation for scale by documenting AV partnership processes and best practices
