Associate Operations Manager

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.

Flexdrive is a subsidiary of Lyft that works together with Lyft teams to realize our shared mission.

Flexdrive builds the operational backbone for the future of mobility. As a fleet management leader and Lyft subsidiary, the company extends its expertise into autonomous vehicle infrastructure — managing the physical operations that keep fleets safe, available, and performing at scale. The Nashville depot is the first proof point in a multi-market expansion.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Operations Manager, AV Depot, the Associate Operations Manager is the second leadership layer at the Nashville AV depot. This role exists because one Operations Manager cannot provide the people leadership, floor coverage, and operational bandwidth a 24/7 depot of this scale requires.

The Associate Operations Manager carries ownership across two critical business workstreams: workforce scheduling support and process standards compliance. Fleet Operations Leads report to the Operations Manager — but during mid shifts, the Associate Operations Manager is the operational authority on the floor, directing their work, setting the quality standard, and serving as their most experienced resource and mentor.

This is a management role with a floor orientation. The Associate Operations Manager is present, coaching, directing, and executing alongside the team — while simultaneously carrying business responsibilities that directly impact depot readiness and partner compliance. This role is the bridge between the Fleet Operations Lead layer and the Operations Manager.

Responsibilities:

• Scheduling & Workforce Planning Support

• Owns the depot schedule — building, maintaining, and adjusting shift
