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 Media is extending the value of Lyft's first-party rider data beyond our owned-and-operated surfaces. Through our Audience Solutions business, agencies and brands activate Lyft audiences across the open web, CTV, social, and DSPs — powered by one of the most distinctive mobility datasets in the US. We're hiring an Account Executive to grow this business across agency and holding company accounts.
Responsibilities:
- Own a book of agency and holdco accounts — prospect, pitch, negotiate, and close data licensing and off-platform audience activation deals (Lyft audiences syndicated to DSPs, SSPs, and partner platforms — not Lyft-owned inventory)
- Build relationships across investment, planning, data strategy, and programmatic trading desks at major holdcos (GroupM, Omnicom Media Group, Publicis Media, IPG, Dentsu, Horizon, Stagwell, etc.)
- Hit and exceed quarterly revenue targets
- Translate Lyft's first-party mobility data into briefs that win RFPs — audience segments, geo/movement signals, and measurement use cases
- Partner with Account Management, Data Partnerships, and Product to ensure clean activation, attribution, and renewal
- Maintain accurate pipeline hygiene in Salesforce and forecast with discipline
Experience:
- 3–5 years of digital media or data sales experience, with meaningful exposure to programmatic (PMP, PG, open exchange) and/or agency holdco accounts
- Track record of closing and growing agency business
- Comfortable with the alphabet soup: DSPs (DV360, TTD, Yahoo), SSPs, data clean rooms (LiveRamp, Habu, AWS), IDFA/MAID/postal-code targeting, MMM and incrementality conversations
- Strong written and verbal communication; can build a deck and run a meeting
- Hungry, organized, and coachable
- Preferred:
- Direct experience selling audience data, data licensing, or off-platform activation (ex-LiveRamp, Foursquare, Kochava, Experian, TransUnion, Acxiom, or similar)
- Existing relationships at holdco trading desks and data strategy teams
Benefits:
- Great medical, dental, and vision insurance options with additional programs available when enrolled
- Mental health benefits
- Family building benefits
- Child care and pet benefits
- 401(k) plan with company match to help save for your future
- In addition to 12 observed holidays, salaried team members have discretionary paid time off, hourly team members have 15 days paid time off
- 18 weeks of paid parental leave. Biological, adoptive, and foster parents are all eligible
- Subsidized commuter benefits
- Monthly Lyft credits and complimentary Lyft Pink membership
