Product Manager, Hardware - Transit, Bikes & Scooters
At Lyft, our mission is to improve people’s lives with the world’s best transportation. To do this, we start with our own community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization.
Lyft connects people to transportation to change the way we live and get around our communities. Lyft is North America’s leader in micromobility, owning and/or operating bikeshare programs such as Bixi in Montreal and Citi Bike in New York, while also providing scooter service in major cities across the US. We also offer our hardware and software to 45 global markets including London, Mexico City and others, through our recent acquisition of the Montreal-based company, PBSC. Our rapidly growing active fleet includes state-of-the-art electric bikes and scooters, and services tens of millions of rides per year.
We are looking for a Product Manager who will bring exceptional creative 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 an entrepreneurial and passionate Product Manager to innovate and execute across a rapidly growing, fast paced company and industry from Montreal, where the first automated bikeshare system in North America was developed.
As the Product Manager for Hardware within Transit, Bikes and Scooters (TBS), you will be thinking about our overall Hardware strategy, including our long-term roadmap, ecosystem and our individual vehicle platforms.
