Operations Specialist, Capital Bikeshare

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.

Lyft Urban Solutions is the operator of six bikeshare systems across the country, including Capital Bikeshare, the DMV’s public bike share system. We’re looking for an Operations Specialist who wants to continue the micromobility revolution. 

As the Operations Specialist, you will support the General Manager of Capital Bikeshare developing and executing operational plans with a consistent eye towards service quality, operational excellence, continuous improvement, and the overall customer experience. You’ll roll up your sleeves for some hands-on problem solving, while also tackling big picture projects to improve the Capital Bikeshare system.
