About this role
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 strongest enterprise and mid-market marketing doesn't lead with a product — it leads with the problem a buyer already has. A hospital administrator isn't looking for "Lyft Concierge"; they're looking to reduce missed appointments. An auto dealer principal isn't looking for a rideshare product; they're looking to keep loaner logistics from costing them revenue.
We are in the process of revising our go-to-market for Lyft Business to organize around these audiences and their transportation problems, with Concierge, Lyft Pass, Business Profiles, and our Business Travel products positioned as the answer to a clearly named pain point by customer profile.
We're hiring an Industry Marketing Manager to build that audience-first structure for our priority verticals, starting with Healthcare and Automotive, across both mid-market and enterprise segments. You'll own the vertical narrative and the content, demand generation strategy, and enablement that will drive marketing-attributable revenue.
The primary function of this role is to build and lead vertical-specific go-to-market (GTM) motions for our mid-market and Enterprise business — bringing together vertical-specific content, demand generation, and sales enablement into a coherent, audience-first strategy.
Responsibilities
• Own vertical strategy and integrated programs
• Design and execute large, orchestrated tentpole programs for our priority verticals (no more than 2 per quarter) — multichannel activation spanning digital, live events, paid media, social, and press — that bring our value proposition and industry point of view to life for a defined buyer (e.g., hospital CFO, healthcare operations leader, dealer principal/service manager).
• Build and maintain a thought leadership agenda for each prioritized vertical: original research, proof points, and points of view that establish Lyft as the transportation authority in that space.
• Lead Healthcare as the highest-revenue priority, and scale the model to new verticals
• Own the strategic objective for Healthcare: defend Lyft's market leadership in NEMT (Non-Emergency Medical Transportation) while identifying and building new growth avenues within the segment.
• Treat Healthcare as the proof-of-concept for vertical GTM — once the content, demand gen, and enablement model is working there, codify what worked into a repeatable playbook.
• Scale that playbook to other priority verticals (e.g., Automotive, Universities, Hospitality/Events) as "Scalable Growth" opportunities — each with its own buyer, core transportation problem, and proof points, but built on a shared, repeatable "ROI playbook" methodology (defined vertical narrative → targeted demand gen → sales enablement → measured pipeline impact).
• Drive cross-functional alignment and partnership
• Build a strong, trust-based partnership with Sales and Product leadership; represent vertical marketing's point of view in cross-functional and executive forums.
• Produce vertical-specific content and proof points that support Sales conversations and strengthen our positioning with target buyers.
• Partner with Sales on account-based marketing (ABM) for priority accounts, and support full-funnel marketing ownership: from vertical paid demand generation and lead qualification (MQL/SQL definitions) through to sales handoff.
• Bring together marketing, sales, and product perspectives across mid-market and enterprise segments. This role is the connective force that pulls a multi-faceted go-to-market motion into a coherent,
