Program Manager, Process Excellence & Standards

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 leader in fleet management and a Lyft subsidiary, we're extending our expertise into autonomous vehicle (AV) infrastructure — managing the physical operations that keep AV fleets safe, available, and performing at scale. As we grow, the integrity of our operational standards is what separates consistent performance from operational risk. This role is at the center of that.

Reporting to the Director of Field Operations, Flexdrive is seeking a Program Manager, Process Excellence & Standards to own the full lifecycle of our operational process library — from governance and version control to field validation and continuous improvement. This is an individual contributor role with significant cross-functional reach, operating with considerable autonomy to define how Flexdrive manages, audits, and evolves its standards as the business scales.

Flexdrive has built more than 100 operational process standards to support our AV depot operations — covering everything from vehicle handling and safety protocols to partner compliance requirements. This role exists to make sure those standards are living documents: accurate, adhered to in the field, responsive to feedback, and ready to support future AV partners as we grow. You will own the program that keeps our operations honest, consistent, and scalable.

• Version Control & Change Management: Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of process changes — from intake and review through approval, publication, and field communication — ensuring that updates are traceable, deliberate, and consistently implemented across all markets.
• Standards Integrity: Ensure all process documentation meets Flexdrive's quality standards and partner compliance requirements. Maintain clear ownership assignments for each standard and ensure accountability for adherence is embedded at the right level o
