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 connects people to transportation to change the way we live and get around our communities. Our drivers and passengers entrust Lyft with their personal information and travel details to get where they are going and expect us to keep that data safe. Lyft's Customer Trust team ensures that appropriate security controls and data protections are applied to meet our compliance requirements and customer contractual commitments. We conduct security risk assessments, consult with organizational stakeholders, monitor and continuously improve Lyft's Information Security program, facilitate third-party security audits, work with engineering teams to implement, automate, and monitor security controls, develop policies, and advise on all matters related to information security assurance.

We are looking for a highly motivated, organized, and detail-oriented individual to join our Customer Trust team. As a senior member of this team, you will own a portfolio of concurrent, multi-program compliance efforts and help ensure Lyft meets its enterprise promises and contractual commitments to customers on security and privacy across global markets.

• Support review of security provisions in customer contracts, MSAs, and security exhibits, partnering with Legal and Sales to provide clear, actionable security positions during negotiations

• Partner with Engineering to design, implement, and monitor automated evidence collection, continuous control testing, and remediation tracking
• Leverage AI tools and LLM-based workflows to automate and improve compliance and assurance processes, documentation, and controls — for example accelerating evidence review, policy drafting, control testing, and questionnaire responses — and share effective approaches with the broader team
• Customer-Facing Assurance
• Own responses to customer security questionnaires (e.g., CAIQ, SIG) and management of our external trust center (SafeBase), balancing transparency with proportional disclosure
