About the Role
The autonomous transition is a transformational opportunity for Lyft. This role sits at the heart of that infrastructure - owning the systems, processes, and partner alignment that allow Lyft to operate at the standards our AV partners require and our riders expect.
Responsibilities
- Own execution of AV partner audits end-to-end, including evidence collection, submission, partner and third-party review, mitigation oversight, and closeout, across concurrent certification cycles for multiple markets and AV partners, domestic and international.
- Act as a strategic leader to support cross-functional teams’ compliance controls and readiness for partner scrutiny.
- Drive coordination across teams including EHS, Legal, Safety, HR, IT and Operations for every deliverable, translating partner and regulatory requirements into concrete, assignable asks and ensuring deadlines are met.
- Maintain and continuously improve the audit tracking system, including the evidence library, audit trail, and submission tooling, leading platform improvements as volume and complexity grow.
- Identify non-conforming items surfaced during audits, assist in identifying mitigation, and track corrective actions with the owning function through to closure.
- Manage the logistics and stakeholder prep for audits, including document readiness and staff interviews.
- Build repeatable playbooks so each new market or partner audit cycle runs faster and with less rework than the last.
- Report clearly and credibly on timelines and risk to leadership on behalf of AV Operational Excellence.
- Act as the primary audit point of contact for AV partners.
Requirements
- 5+ years in program management, compliance, quality assurance, or audit-adjacent roles within a regulated or standards-driven environment.
- A track record of driving structured, deadline-driven cross-functional work without formal authority over contributing teams.
- Comfortable pushing partners to deliver and escalating when needed.
- Strong command of audit and evidence management mechanics: tracking systems, documentation rigor, version control, and chain-of-custody type discipline.
- Experience with spreadsheet or database-driven tracking systems, and interest in modernizing them.
- Prior exposure to AV, automotive, aviation, or another safety-critical, audited industry strongly preferred.
- This is an individual contributor role at launch, with room to grow into leading a small team as certification volume scales.
