What the job involves
- As an Account Manager, you’ll help our clients understand the power of Lyft Business. You will build and manage a named account list of large organizations in the US, ensuring that they leverage Lyft’s products for any transportation objective they have
- We’re building the next great transportation platform, and we need world-class talent and candidates that aren’t afraid to try new things and think outside the box to build new business
- Own the customer relationship with enterprise grade partners as their primary representative to Lyft for all their business related transportation needs
- Partner with Fortune 500 companies, to design, sell and implement custom transportation solutions for their respective passengers that include employees (essential and non), recruits, VIPs, guests, subscribers, etc

- Fully understand all of Lyft Business’ products and services, keeping abreast of product changes and how they may impact your customers or lead to increased usage
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 trialed 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.
