The Rider organization is responsible for the Lyft consumer app that you know and love (we hope!), and spans the entire consumer journey across requesting, purchase flow, pickup, in-trip experience, drop offs, and time between rides. Within this org, the Rider AI team is responsible for delivering machine learning features that customize the consumer app experience. Together with this team, this PM will own our Rider AI platform that strives to deliver an exceptional experience for every Lyft rider. This includes optimizing the content that riders see throughout the app, the Lyft modes they can select, and the notifications that drive ride intent.
