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.  Lyft Urban Solutions (LUS) is North America’s leader in micromobility.  We own, operate, or provide hardware and software solutions for bikeshare and scootershare programs in 57+ global markets including Montreal, London, New York City, Mexico City and others. Our rapidly growing active fleet includes state-of-the-art charging stations, electric bikes, and scooters, and services hundreds of millions of rides per year.

The Hardware Product and Industrial Design Team at LUS is responsible for conceiving, guiding development of, launching, and sustaining world-class products used by riders, cities, and operators over the world.  We represent LUS in micromobility forums, engage directly with customers, and guide research and development.  We aim to ensure all products we develop are delightful for riders, globally competitive, elegant, and future-facing.

We are looking for an exceptional Senior Hardware Product Manager to manage our existing stations portfolio as well as develop our next generation of stations products.  Our stations are now as iconic in cityscapes as London Routemaster buses of old.  You will have end-to-end ownership of new station product development, leading a cross-functional team through all phases of hardware development to launch, and will be responsible for a fleet of over 300,000 charging and non-charging station assets already on the ground.   You will engage directly with LUS leadership, engineering, data science, operations, and design to achieve the company’s vision for reinventing transportation.  You will work closely with our Vehicles Product Manager, Industrial Design team, and counterparts in software product management to ensure our entire ecosystem of products functions cohesively. We are looking for an entrepreneurial and passionate candidate to innovate and execute across a rapidly growing, fast paced company and industry from Montreal or Longueuil, where the first automated bikeshare system in North America was developed.
