Role
Who you are
- Degree (or related work experience) with a focus in analytics, statistics, economics, computer science, or other quantitative fields
- 3+ years of experience in a data analytics or business intelligence role, ideally supporting a sales, go-to-market, or B2B organization
- Proficiency in SQL — able to read, write, and review structured, efficient queries on large data sets, whether you wrote them yourself or an AI coding assistant did; you own the correctness of every query and result before it reaches stakeholders
- Experience building production data assets — pipelines, data models, or orchestrated tables (Airflow, dbt, or similar) — not only ad-hoc analysis
- Proficiency in a data visualization tool like Tableau, Hex, Mode, or similar
- Experience with sales or account analytics — pipeline, bookings, pacing to target, account segmentation — is a strong plus
- Experience with Python for data analysis and automation is a strong plus
- Commercial instinct paired with a builder's instinct — a track record of turning a recurring request into a durable tool or dataset instead of answering it one more time
- A track record of influencing business decisions through analysis, and an ownership mindset toward the metrics and datasets you build
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to tackle ambiguous problems, break them down, and deliver clear, actionable insights
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present complex data to a variety of stakeholders clearly and compellingly
- A strong attention to detail and a commitment to data accuracy and integrity
- Ability to collaborate across functions, manage competing priorities, and drive projects to completion
What the job involves
- You will be the analytical partner to our Sales and account teams — someone who can translate findings into a clear narrative for both technical and non-technical audiences
- Build the tools and analytics sales leaders use to grow their accounts — pacing views, account-health signals, territory and segment views that change what a rep or manager does next
- Field requests from Sales, Product, Finance, Legal, leadership, and external stakeholders, and decide what's worth building, what's worth a sharp piece of analysis, and what's out of scope
- Build and maintain production data pipelines, and automate recurring workflows, with documentation and validation clear enough that a teammate — or an AI agent — can use them without asking you first
- Define what the team's core metrics mean and where they live, so every dashboard, report, and tool returns the same answer to the same question
- Contribute to the internal tools and semantic layer — prompts, context, and guardrails — that let stakeholders query B2B data in natural language and trust what comes back
- Translate insights into a cohesive narrative and present technical findings to senior leadership and non-technical audiences
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.
