About This RoleAI processing…

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.

The Venue Operations team manages Lyft's presence at thousands of venue locations across the world— from major sports stadiums and concert venues to conventions, festivals, and high-capacity event spaces. Our work sits at the intersection of real-world operations and technology: we configure the products, tools, and data pipelines that shape how riders find their pickup spot and how drivers navigate to them. When a sold-out game lets out, Venue Ops is the reason it works.

As an Associate Program Manager on the Venue Ops team, you'll own execution of venue configurations, partner requests, and operational programs with oversight from senior team members. You'll develop deep expertise in our venue toolset, build cross-functional relationships, and continuously improve the processes that keep thousands of locations running accurately and at scale.

Participate in venue audits — reviewing existing configurations, identifying gaps, and documenting corrective action
4
Monitor venue performance using dashboards and analytics tools; surface trends and flag anomalies with context

Support cross-functional collaboration with mapping, engineering, and data teams on venue-related product improvements
