Account Manager, Healthcare & Transit Partnerships

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.

Lyft's Healthcare & Community Access team is changing the way state Medicaid agencies, transportation brokers, and transit authorities think about non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) and paratransit. We work with the largest NEMT brokers, state and federal healthcare agencies, and transit authorities in the country to improve access to care and essential services for the riders who need it most. Our work is fast-paced, cross-functional, and high-impact — and we are looking for passionate, hard-working, and customer-focused team members who want to tackle real transportation challenges and make a difference for the people who rely on these services most.

As an Account Manager on Lyft's Healthcare & Community Access team, you're responsible for managing and growing a book of healthcare and transit partnerships. You'll develop trusted relationships with your partners, become a Lyft product expert, and learn to identify and prioritize the highest-impact opportunities across your accounts. You'll join a talented team focused on one thing: using technology and Lyft's network of drivers to improve transportation for patients, members, and transit riders.

• Strong analytical curiosity — comfortable using data to understand account performance, identify trends, and surface opportunities


• Ability to understand and absorb new information quickly, particularly in complex or technical product environments


• Comfortable with change and ambiguity in a fast-moving environment; able to problem-solve and prioritize with limited direction


• Team-oriented mindset and the ability to work effectively across a wide range of individuals and functions


• Non-emergency medical transportation, paratransit, healthcare partnerships, or transit/transportation industry experience preferred
