<p> Lyft's Trust and Safety team is looking for an experienced crisis communicator to own our most complex escalated cases and help strengthen the team's operational maturity.

This role also carries responsibility for strengthening how the team operates: identifying gaps in process, contributing to training materials, and helping calibrate quality across the team.</p>
