Legal Operations Program Manager, Integrations

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.

We are looking for a high-impact Legal Operations Program Manager to join our expanding Legal Operations Team and sit at the center of our mergers & acquisitions (M&A) and post-close integration activity! This is a strategy-to-execution role that serves as the operating backbone for Legal across our most strategic transactions — owning legal integration execution in partnership with Lyft’s Corporate Development Integration Management Office (IMO), and the intake and governance layer that connects the Legal team to deal and integration work. The ideal candidate is tech-savvy, detail oriented, proactive, and able to drive outcomes across multiple concurrent transactions in ambiguous, high-stakes environments with a collaborative and transparent approach.

• Strategic transactions are executed with discipline, completeness, and a clear critical path
• Legal is embedded early and effectively, with strong planning-to-execution across multiple teams to deliver strong business results and manage risk
• The organization scales without accumulating operational, compliance, or technical debt

Responsibilities:

• M&A Integration Program Management
  • Own end-to-end legal integration across global acquisitions, from integration strategy during diligence through post-close, in partnership with Corporate Development’s Integration Management Office (IMO)
  • Build integrated legal roadmaps with clear dependencies and critical path, and stand up governance, reporting, and escalation frameworks for each transaction
  • Prepare and lead leadership readouts on the legal integration status of deals in scope
  • Implement value-realization and risk-retirement tracking, and codify repeatable legal integration playbooks to improve speed, quality, and predictability
• Program Leadership & Execution
  • Act as the control tower across concurrent transactions and initiatives, ensuring legal work is resourced, sequenced, and prioritized appropriately across teams
  • Build and manage inte
