Lyft is looking to hire a motivated Specialist or Associate to join our Finance Transformation Team. As a key member of the Office of Finance Transformation, you will partner closely with finance SMEs to analyze and document how things work today and then standardize, redesign, and optimize cross-functional finance processes for tomorrow. You'll apply your finance and accounting experience to drive efficiency and performance through automation, smarter tools / technology, and better workflows, while ensuring that our processes are measurable and scalable, making a real impact in shaping our Finance org for the future.

This role offers exceptional opportunities for professional growth. You'll gain exposure to a wide range of finance processes, systems, and cross-functional stakeholders. We're committed to cross-training on tools and technical skills to support your long-term development. This is a high-visibility, high-learning role where you'll make a meaningful impact on how finance operates at scale.

This role is right for you if you are

• Forward-thinking and tech-curious, with a mindset of continuous improvement
• Able to bridge business needs with technical solutions
• Naturally collaborative, with a strong sense of ownership and execution
• Excited by the opportunity to reimagine finance in a digital-first world

We're looking for someone who brings curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to learn. In this role, you'll grow your skills by working on high-impact projects alongside experienced teammates. Your responsibilities may include:

• Process Analysis & Documentation: Help document and analyze current-state finance workflows to identify gaps, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities. Collaborate with stakeholders to design and visualize future-state processes.
• Performance Measurement & Insights: Contribute to defining and tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the impact of improvements and transformation efforts, while providing data-driven insights and ideas for continuous improvement opportunities.
• Workflow Enhancement & Automation: Assist in streamlining processes and exploring automation solutions (e.g., ERP, RPA, or AI-powered tools) to drive scalability and accuracy.
• Technology & Tool Effectiveness: Participate in evaluating finance systems and tools, helping ensure they support data visibility and efficient operations.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Finance, Tech, and other teams to implement transformation projects. Help support training and change management to ensure smooth adoption of new processes.

• Critical System Implementations: Support major system rollouts (e.g., ERP, financial close tools) by contributing to process design, user testing, and go-live planning.

We're not looking for perfection—we're looking for someone eager to learn, take initiative, and roll up their sleeves. If you check many of these boxes and are excited about developing the rest, we'd love to hear from you:

• BA/BS in Accounting, Finance, Business, or related field
