Senior Technical Program Manager (M&A Integration)
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 15, 2026. First seen by Alion on Jun 28, 2026.
Join Lyft as a Senior Technical Program Manager (M&A Integration) to lead the technical workstreams for the integration of Freenow, following its acquisition. This high-stakes role requires technical credibility, strong communication skills, and the ability to operate in extreme ambiguity. You will be responsible for Day 1 readiness, IT and workplace cutover, security and compliance posture, integration stream kickoff, cross-functional orchestration, executive communication, and future M&A integration. Enjoy benefits such as sabbatical leave, employee assistance program, mobility benefits card, flexible work options, talent development, birthday off, and remote work within the EU.
Missions
- Own the end-to-end technical readiness plan between signing and closing, define what "ready" means, track every workstream against it, and call the go/no-go on technical readiness for Day 1.
- Coordinate identity and system access, hardware provisioning and re-imaging, and office setup including network, VPN, Wi-Fi, meeting rooms, and physical access to ensure nobody shows up on Day 1 unable to work.
- Stand up the technical integration workstreams between Freenow and Lyft so they are running, staffed, and producing output from day one of the integration phase. Set the operating cadence, dependencies, and escalation paths.
Profil recherché
- Working knowledge of enterprise IT and corporate engineering: identity providers and SSO, MDM, endpoint management, networking and VPN, SaaS provisioning, source control and CI/CD tooling, cloud account structures- Comfort operating in extreme ambiguity with only high-level direction, across multiple jurisdictions, time zones, and corporate cultures
- Influence without authority. You get senior people to commit, deliver, and stay aligned in a matrixed environment - without needing a reporting line to do it
- A strong technical foundation - software engineering or infrastructure background. You can sit in an architecture review and push back credibly, and you understand what it takes to operate large-scale, 24x7 production systems
- Excellent written and verbal communication in English. You can brief a C-level audience in three slides and an engineer in a Slack thread, and adjust the register without losing precision
- Calm under pressure. M&A timelines move, regulators ask questions, and things break. You stay structured and keep others structured
- Significant TPM, engineering management, or M&A integration experience, with a clear track record of delivering on M&A separation, integration, or carve-out programmes - ideally including a Day 1 cutover under a new owner
- Previous experience inside a regulated business (mobility, fintech, payments) or working through a change-of-control event
- Familiarity with the German labour and works council context
- Exposure to both acquirer-side and target-side integration work
