## Description

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.
 The Central TPM team drives Lyft’s highest-impact product and technology initiatives from concept to launch. Central TPMs are technically strong program leaders who operate from a product and engineering point of view and bridge the gap to other functions, such as comms, marketing, BD, support, and external partners, ensuring each is a core partner in the program.
 They are both strategic and tactical, and they do what it takes to deliver top-priority programs that have a material impact on the business, from new product launches to acquisitions and strategic partnerships.
 Responsibilities 
• Co-own program strategy with Product and Engineering, and influence company strategy, technical architecture, and roadmap tradeoffs.
• Lead end-to-end delivery of Lyft’s top-priority cross-functional initiatives from concept to launch, with clear goals, milestones, and definition of done.
• Develop and execute integration roadmaps, strategies, and playbooks for acquisitions and strategic partnerships.
• Define how the program runs, including roles and decision rights, escalation paths, and communication plan, and hold workstream owners accountable.
• Anticipate risks early, drive mitigation plans, and aggressively resolve systemic issues blocking delivery.
• Communicate with transparency at every level, from engineers to the C-suite, sharing progress, risks, and tradeoffs clearly and directly.
• Present data-backed op
