Lyft’s Verticals team owns three of the most strategically important and operationally complex marketplaces in our business: airports, scheduled rides, and events. These moments matter most. Airports are a defining touchpoint in the Lyft experience—high-stakes, high-complexity, and critical to both rider trust and driver earnings.

Events—from packed stadium concerts to sold-out games—require precision logistics and seamless coordination at scale. Together, these verticals represent some of the highest-intent, highest-value use cases on the Lyft platform. As Group Product Manager for Verticals, you will define how millions of people plan, book, and experience their journeys across these critical moments.

We are in the process of revising our go-to-market for Lyft Business to organize around these audiences and their transportation problems, with Concierge, Lyft Pass, Business Profiles, and our Business Travel products positioned as the answer to a clearly named pain point by customer profile. We're hiring an Industry Marketing Manager to build that audience-first structure for our priority verticals, starting with Healthcare and Automotive , across both mid-market and enterprise segments. You'll own the vertical narrative and the content, demand generation strategy, and enablement that will drive marketing-attributable revenue. The primary function of this role is to build and lead vertical-specific go-to-market (GTM) motions for our mid-market and Enterprise business — bringing together vertical-specific content, demand generation, and sales enablement into a coherent, audience-first strategy. Responsibilities: Own vertical strategy and integrated programs Design and execute large, orchestrated tentpole programs for our priority verticals (no more than 2 per quarter) — multichannel activation spanning digital, live events, paid media, social, and press — that bring our value proposition and industry point of view to life for a defined buyer (e.g., hospital CFO, healthcare operations leader, dealer principal/service manager).
