Role summary

Lyft is seeking an Analytics Lead for their Safety Reporting team. This role involves owning the analytical integrity of safety data, setting definitions, and ensuring data quality for external reporting. The lead will manage the publication cycle, serve as an analytics counterpart to various departments, and drive the reporting roadmap. Responsibilities include defining metrics, building dashboards, and mentoring junior analysts. The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of analytics experience, including 2+ in trust and safety, with proficiency in SQL and Python. They should be a critical thinker with strong problem-solving and communication skills, capable of translating business problems into analytical requirements.

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.

The vision of the Safety & Customer Care (SCC) team is to foster long-term loyalty to Lyft with every support interaction. If we are successful, a Lyft customer will rarely interact with Lyft Support. But when that interaction occurs, their issue is resolved quickly, effectively, and with true care. For a Lyft customer, their experience of Support should be that “Lyft cares about me and made the experience easy.”

As an Analytics Lead, you’ll partner directly with cross-functional stakeholders to identify opportunities and design solutions for improving our customers’ support experience. You’ll leverage your analytical expertise to deliver actionable insights and recommendations to drive quality business decisions with customer-facing impact. The ideal candidate is a critical thinker and exceptional problem solver who can build strong relationships with different teams, and who is eager to serve as a leader within the broader Support organization to drive our business forward.

Responsibilities

Own the analytical integrity of safety data at Lyft. Set the definitions, inclusion criteria, and reconciliation logic behind every stated figure.

Serve as the primary data liaison to external data auditors, ensuring clarity, consistency, and quality of safety data used in external reporting.

Maintain documentation standards that ensure continuity across reporting cycles and compliance with reporting requirements.

Run the publication cycle end to end: definitions freeze, data lock, QA, leadership review, sign-off. Catch definitional drift before it reaches a published number.

Serve as the analytics counterpart to Business, Legal, Policy, and Communications on Safety data.

Move safety reporting from volume counts to diagnosis: which categories are growing, where reported incidence diverges from actual, which interventions move outcomes.

Own the roadmap for the Trust & Safety reporting portfolio: what gets measured, automated, or retired, and in what order.

Set the technical standard for analysts on the safety portfolio: metric definition review, query review, documentation, reproducibility. Mentor junior analysts.

Partner with Product, Engineering, Data Science, Business Operations, Legal, and Policy to turn insight into decisions.

Develop frameworks and scalable processes to drive decision-making and prioritization

Define the metrics used to measure the success of strategic initiatives and health of our support platform; build dashboards to track metrics over time

Work closely with cross-functional partners to deliver data-driven insights and actionable recommendations for continuously improving the customer support experience

Monitor and diagnose KPI performance and present findings to senior leadership

Experience

5+ years hands-on analytics, including 2+ in trust and safety domain.

Demonstrated ownership of data used outside the company: filings, transparency reports, audits, or public disclosures.

Ability to translate unstructured business problems into clearly defined requirements with minimal oversight

Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with the ability to transition between detailed data and high-level business problems

Exceptional communication (listening, written, and oral) skills with the ability to present findings & recommendations targeted to the audience in question

Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to build relationships and trust across functions and work collaboratively

Degree in a quantitative field like statistics, economics, applied math, operations research or engineering. Advanced degrees are preferred

Proficiency in SQL and Python with ability to independently break down large datasets and synthesize inputs from multiple sources

Benefits:

Great medical, dental, and vision insurance options with additional programs available when enrolled

Family building benefits

Child care and pet benefits

401(k) plan with company match to help save for your future

18 weeks of paid parental leave. Biological, adoptive, and foster parents are all eligible

Subsidized commuter benefits
