As Program Manager, AV Safety Policy & Programs, you'll own key parts of Lyft's AV Safety Management System (SMS) across all four pillars: Safety Policy, Safety Risk Management, Safety Assurance, and Safety Promotion. You'll also make sure the processes, documentation, and cross-functional machinery behind them work in practice.\nThis is a high-ownership role that sits at the intersection of safety policy, program design, and cross-functional process support.

Maintain the operational risk register and track mitigations to closure.\n Safety Assurance: Track safety performance indicators and trends, and surface emerging risks. Participate in incident and near-miss investigations and own corrective action (CAPA) tracking, so findings feed back into policy, operations, and partner work plans. Coordinate evidence and remediation for audits and certifications.\nSafety Promotion: Drive safety communications, lessons-learned documentation, and training readiness.\nSafety Review Board: Run the SRB cadence, including agendas, materials, decision records, and follow-through on action items.\nPartner Engagement: Contribute to the standards and assessment frameworks Lyft uses with AV partners, and support partners' safety assurance and risk management activities.\nProgram Execution: Drive AV safety programs with safety leaders, including partners across EHS, Operations, Engineering, Legal, and others from inception through go-live.
