What the job involves
- Data is at the heart of Lyft’s products and decision-making. You will leverage data and rigorous, analytical thinking to shape our products and make business decisions. This will involve performing rigorous product deep dives, identifying opportunities for product enhancements, and measuring the impact of new features
- The Global Growth team is at the forefront of innovation at Lyft, focused on expanding Lyft beyond North American rideshare’s core products
- This includes our premium Luxury modes and Livery drivers, building a unified Lyft presence internationally, and enabling Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) domestically and abroad
- These teams are at the center of innovation and the future of Lyft’s growth, and this role would be directly shaping the strategic roadmap for these crucial areas
- As an Analytics Lead, you will collaborate with our world class team of engineers, product managers, and designers to think critically about the current rider and driver experience and implement product enhancements to facilitate market growth
- This role will help define Lyft’s strategy for growing luxury modes, setting the strategic roadmap for pricing, driver pay, and product development. In this role, you will help us tackle problems such as:
- How should we be pricing our premium Luxury products? Who are our current Luxury riders and what segment is most likely to grow our rider base?
- How can we best merchandise Luxury rideshare products within the Lyft app? What product features or app changes would improve the rider experience and motivate riders to take more Luxury rides?
- How do coupons and incentives motivate riders and drivers in premium segments?
- What is the value of offering a higher quality experience? How can we measure it? What metrics can we create?
- Develop frameworks and deliver analyses to guide decision-making and prioritization across functions
- Uncover new areas of opportunity to grow Lyft’s Luxury portfolio. Manage, build, and automate models and reporting to provide actionable insights on the Lyft Luxury marketplace, including rider, driver, and general efficiency metrics. Utilize data and analyses to influence business strategy and product roadmaps
- Regularly partner with Product, Engineering, Operations, Marketing, and Data Science and collaborate with teammates in the Global Growth Org
- Present findings, recommendations, and results to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders
Our take
Lyft has aimed for consistent growth, making sure to pitch itself as a more reliable and friendly ride-sharing option than its main competitor, Uber. Uber has a greater market share and operates globally, but Lyft hopes to compete by its focus on ride-sharing over Uber's more diversified business approach and as a more rider-friendly and greener alternative to Uber.
Operating only in the USA and Canada, Lyft is in a position of being less affected by global events than Uber but also more vulnerable to local conditions. As an example, while it doesn't face the regulatory hurdles around employment rights that Uber does, it is unable to balance out the cost of the unusually expensive US auto insurance across its operations.
In 2022, Lyft acquired PBSC Urban Solutions, a bike-share equipment and technology supplier, allowing Lyft to compete in new verticals and reaffirming its commitment to green transportation. It has also trialled and launched Lyft Assisted, where drivers help passengers from their door into the car to get to medical appointments. These developments chime well with Lyft's unique selling point as a friendlier and more environmentally aware ride-sharing app, whilst the acquisition of European competitor Freenow could add 6 million new riders to its platform in 2026.
