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.
