Lyft is hiring : Project Manager, Lyft Ads Studio in New York

Overview

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 Ads is pioneering contextual advertising inside rideshare, reaching an engaged, diverse, and culturally relevant audience. We create breakthrough campaigns for the world’s biggest brands—from entertainment launches to tentpole cultural moments. As Project Manager, you’ll be central to ensuring these ideas come to life seamlessly and at scale. We’re looking for a highly organized, proactive Project Manager to join the Lyft Ads team. This role is critical in bridging strategy, creative, operations, and sales—making sure campaigns move smoothly from pre-sale through post-sale. Unlike a traditional producer role that focuses only on asset production, this Project Manager will oversee a wide spectrum of projects and ensure all cross-functional teams are aligned and equipped to deliver. This role is client-facing, joining key pre-sale and post-sale conversations to understand client needs, clarify deliverables, and ensure the work delivered aligns with what was pitched. You’ll act as a trusted point of contact for clients throughout the campaign lifecycle—confidently fielding questions, routing creative feedback, and ensuring clear, consistent communication.

Responsibilities

• Own timelines & workflows : Create and track project timelines from pitch to delivery, ensuring all stakeholders (creative, ad ops, vendors, sales) are aligned and deadlines are met.
• Bridge pre-sale and post-sale : Participate in late-stage client meetings to understand what’s been pitched, then carry that knowledge into execution to ensure creative vision is realized.
• Coordinate across teams : Alert ad ops, vendors, and internal partners when deliverables are ready; ensure dependencies are surfaced and managed early.
• Manage documentation : Build and maintain project trackers, production decks, KOC decks, and asset checklists.
• Vendor & partner management : Oversee creative production with third-party vendors, ensuring deliverables meet Lyft Ad’s specs and brand standards.
• Feedback & comms : Synthesize creative feedback, route it appropriately, and ensure decisions are documented and acted upon.
• Project coverage : Support a range of projects including in-app ads, games, experiential activations, car wraps, and custom executions.
• Triage requests : Aggregate and prioritize both pre-sale design requests and post-sale production needs, giving the team a full view of projects in the pipeline.
• Process Implementation : Design and implement scalable workflows that streamline post-sale production, enhance efficiency, and drive consistent delivery.
