Chief of Staff, CEO

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 is in a defining moment — from turnaround to international growth, from traditional rideshare to the autonomous future. The Chief of Staff to the CEO sits at the center of that transformation, serving as a force multiplier for CEO David Risher and the senior leadership team. This is a rare opportunity for a builder, strategist, and trusted advisor who can operate at altitude while staying close to the detail.

The Chief of Staff to the CEO is the CEO's most trusted operational and strategic partner. You will:

• Own the rhythms, narrative, strategy, and operations of the Executive Office, translating the CEO’s vision into organizational execution across Lyft.

• Work in lockstep with our Executive Business Partner to ensure the CEO and executive team operate at their highest and best use at all times.

• Lead the internal community of Chiefs of Staff that act as the operational backbone for the company

This role demands exceptional range: you'll build organizational frameworks, draft corporate strategy, manage high-stakes communications, run executive meetings and offsites, hold confidential context with grace, and know when to drive decisions and when to get out of the way. You are here to make the organization smarter, faster, and more aligned.

Responsibilities:

Executive partnership & decision support

• Serve as a strategic thought partner and sounding board for the CEO on organizational strategy, business priorities, and leadership effectiveness

• Prepare the CEO for high-stakes meetings, board sessions, investor engagements, and external appearances — including briefing materials, talking points, and post-meeting follow-through, whether drafted by you or in partners
