Work closely with internal business partners to provide strategic and proactive legal advice on litigation and regulatory matters, including but not limited to understanding, interpreting, and applying current law and regulations to Lyft's current and prospective products and services.

Provide strategic recommendations to a broad range of cross-functional teams addressing regulatory and other matters.

Provide legal guidance to departments such as Compliance, Public Policy, Communications, Customer Care, Product, Marketplace, and Lyft Urban Solutions to help craft solutions to the novel legal challenges Lyft faces every day.

Manage outside counsel, including tactical guidance, staffing, case management, budgeting, and alignment with Lyft's broader legal strategy.

Experience:

J.D. degree from a top-tier law school and active membership in at least one state bar.

5+ years civil litigation experience at a mid to large size law firm and/or a regulatory agency. Strong preference is given to candidates with prior in-house experience.

Prior experience with regulatory disputes and government investigations, competition matters, and complex or consumer class actions is preferred.

Excellent problem-solving capabilities, strategic thinking, judgment, communication, and interpersonal skills.

Both detail oriented and able to see the big picture.

Ability to operate autonomously while being a team player who brings a positive attitude to the workplace and is willing to jump on any project, big or small.

Executive presence and ability to communicate legal risks and recommendations to senior leaders.

Demonstrated ability to make decisions and influence through excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Ability to think quickly on your feet and simultaneously manage workloads, multiple client demands and shifting priorities.

Be a resourceful self-starter and have a passion for results. Embody Lyft's culture, and operate with high standards and ethics

An understanding of the multi-modal transportation and ridesharing industries, as well as the sharing economy in general.

Passion for Lyft and the ridesharing community.

Benefits:

Great medical, dental, and vision insurance options with additional programs available when enrolled
