Description
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.
Responsibilities:
Venue Configuration & Product Operations
Execute and maintain venue configurations in Scope Studio, including event scheduling, venue pins, road closures, and pickup/drop-off zones
Support new venue launches and configuration updates, ensuring accuracy against physical ground conditions
Participate in venue audits — reviewing existing configurations, identifying gaps, and documenting corrective action
Monitor venue performance using dashboards and analytics tools; surface trends and flag anomalies with context
Partner Operations
Manage inbound partner requests through the team's email alias and Jira board, responding within SLA targets
Coordinate with non-contractual partners (NCPs) and internal teams (BD, Legal, Product) to resolve operational issues and fulfill requests
Document partner interactions and outcomes to support pipeline development and partnership continuity
Program Execution & Process Improvement
Own execution of assigned workstreams end-to-end, along with special projects
Identify opportunities to improve repetitive processes and document improvements for team use
Provide proactive status updates to stakeholders; escalate blockers with relevant context before they become issues
Support cross-functional collaboration with mapping, engineering, and data teams on venue-related product improvements
Experience:
Willingness to travel up to 25% of the time and have a valid passport. Nights and/or weekends are occasionally required for event support.
2–4 years of experience in program management, operations, or a related field
Detail-oriented with strong follow-through; you complete what you start and document what you did
Clear, proactive communicator who keeps stakeholders informed without being prompted
Comfortable reprioritizing in a fast-paced environment based on urgency and business need
Familiarity with project tracking tools (e.g., Jira) and Google Suite
Based in or able to work from Toronto; knowledge of local market context a plus

The policy allows team members to take off as much time as they need (with manager approval). Hourly team members get 15 days paid time off, with an additional day for each year of service
