Finance Transformation Specialist

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 is looking to hire a motivated Specialist 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—and your strong instincts for how processes should work—to drive efficiency and performance through automation, smarter tools and technology, and better workflows, while ensuring that our processes are measurable and scalable. This is a hands-on role where you’ll be expected to dig in, build things, and make 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

• Someone who gets things done—you don’t just document a problem, you build the solution
• Comfortable rolling up your sleeves: equally at home in a process walkthrough and building a working solution in a spreadsheet, BI tool, or automation platform
• 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 follow-through
• Excited by the opportunity to reimagine finance in a digital-first world

Responsibilities:

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

• Workflow Enhancement & Automation: Streamline and automate processes and explore automation solutions (e.g., ERP enhancements, integration platforms, RPA, or AI-powered tools) to drive scalability and accuracy.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Finance, Tech, and other teams to implement transformation projects. Support training and change management to ensure smooth adoption of new processes.
• Process Analysis & Documentation: Document and analyze current-state finance workflows to identify gaps, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities. Collaborate with stakeholders to design and visualize
