Safety Assurance: Track safety performance indicators and trends, and surface emerging risks. Participate in incident and near-miss investigations and own corrective action (CAPA) tracking, so findings feed back into policy, operations, and partner work plans. Coordinate evidence and remediation for audits and certifications.
Safety Promotion: Drive safety communications, lessons-learned documentation, and training readiness.
Safety Review Board: Run the SRB cadence, including agendas, materials, decision records, and follow-through on action items.
Partner Engagement: Contribute to the standards and assessment frameworks Lyft uses with AV partners, and support partners' safety assurance and risk management activities.
Program Execution: Drive AV safety programs with safety leaders, including partners across EHS, Operations, Engineering, Legal, and others from inception through go-live. This includes safety readiness for new market launches and partner integrations.
