Associate, Lyft Business Support

At Lyft, our mission is to improve people’s lives with the world’s best transportation. To do this, we start with our own community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization.

The Lyft Business team helps organizations leverage the Lyft platform to meet the transportation needs of the people they care about -- from employees and customers to students, commuters, and patients -- in a whole new way. Lyft Business Support is dedicated to treating these organizations and their riders better.

As an Engagement Associate for Lyft Business Support, you’ll be responsible for providing Enterprise grade customer support to Lyft Business customers via Email and Live Chat.

You’ll leverage our existing support program to deliver quality resolutions for small, large, and strategic customers alike. You’ll develop expertise in Lyft Business’s complete product suite and embrace everything from working with our Specialists to escalating bug resolutions to explaining a complex product to new customers. You’ll own each resolution from start to finish, ensuring that the customer feels heard and cared for throughout. And your efforts will reliably meet/exceed efficiency and customer satisfaction metrics. 

You’ll also leverage this frontline experience to strengthen Lyft Business’s overall value proposition. You’ll spot trends, summarize feature or resolution gaps, and escalate production bugs, providing all of the information and guidance needed for internal stakeholders to quickly assess and solve these issues.

Most importantly, your tenacity, positive outlook, self-awareness, and determination to make it happen will buoy everyone around you. You are organized and a resourceful problem solver who thrives as both a teammate and an individual contributor!

In short, you’ll be the face and voice of Lyft Business’s best-in-class customer experience.
