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, strategic, 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.
Pricing is the primary economic engine of Lyft's marketplace — a high-precision, real-time system that processes millions of fare calculations per hour, balancing rider affordability, driver earnings, and Lyft's sustainable growth. The Pricing team sits at the intersection of the marketplace, mediating between rider demand and driver supply, and is a core pillar of the Rider Organization.
As the Group Product Manager for Pricing, you will lead a team of product managers across four sub-teams that together own the full pricing lifecycle:
- Planned Pricing — the foundation of every fare. This team owns the structural pricing strategy that determines base prices across ride types and regions, balancing long-term financial targets with real-time market conditions.
- Dynamic Pricing & Offer Selection — the real-time pulse of the marketplace. This team owns the algorithms that respond to supply and demand shifts (Prime Time) and perform a real-time portfolio optimization to ensure riders can always get a ride and the marketplace stays balanced.
- Rider Engagement — the growth engine. This team builds personalized offers to drive rider engagement and retention, increase share of mind, and maximize the ROI of Lyft's rider incentive spend.
- Price Orchestration — the pricing platform. This team owns the end-to-end infrastructure that coordinates every fare request, from upfront quote generation through invoicing, tax calculation, and ratecard management, ensuring reliability, low latency, and compliance at scale.
Together, your organization will drive Pricing's top strategic priorities: unified portfolio optimization across all ride types and offers, preparing the pricing platform for autonomous vehicles and new offerings, advancing real-time personalized offers through applied AI, and increasing pricing precision to reduce waste while hitting growth targets.

- Incorporate end-to-end impact of pricing decisions on riders, drivers, and ultimately on network growth
- Define short-term and long-term strategy to achieve those goals, setting your team's success metrics and roadmap to drive maximum impact
- Develop and execute a product roadmap via close collaboration with senior leadership, Finance, Data Science, Analytics, Design, Marketing, Engineering, Legal, and Policy
- Review how product managers reporting to you translate customer and internal user needs into clear, well-defined functional and technical requirements backed by data analysis and deep understanding of the marketplace
