The posting

Location: Barcelona

At Freenow by Lyft, we are on a mission to empower smarter mobility decisions, helping people to move freely and cities to thrive.

We are looking for a Communications Lead, Europe to lead our external communications strategy across the region. This person will be responsible for building Lyft’s reputation, visibility and credibility across Europe, during a major period of growth and transformation, overseeing all communications for our growth in current and future European markets, and protecting the company’s reputation along the way. This role also means shaping how Lyft is discovered and understood in an AI-first information landscape, from how the brand surfaces in search and AI-driven answers to how audiences form perceptions of Lyft.

In this role, you’ll be a key leader in the development of strategic planning, proactive media engagement, and tactical execution of our communications strategies, as well as being a trusted advisor to internal and external stakeholders.

Successful candidates will be able to balance multiple priorities across Lyft’s global business. You will ensure that Lyft speaks with one clear voice while maintaining the local relevance and credibility needed in individual markets. Ideally, you’ll have previous experience leading global communications teams, supporting high-visibility and business-critical announcements, interfacing cross-functionally with both internal and external teams, and being a trusted advisor to executives.

This is an opportunity to join a creative, collaborative team and help tell the next chapter of the Lyft growth story. The role reports to the Director of Corporate Communications.

YOUR DAILY ADVENTURES WILL INCLUDE:

  • Own Lyft's external communications strategy across Europe, driving brand awareness, favorability, and consideration in service of growth across traditional channels and next-generation discovery surfaces, ensuring Lyft's narrative holds up wherever European audiences are forming opinions.
  • Partner with communications colleagues to create pitches, stories and content to advance Lyft’s overall narrative.
  • Create and maintain messaging on Lyft’s Europe presence, operations and performance aligned with the company’s global narrative.

  • Partner closely with Public Policy to develop communications strategies around regulatory, policy and industry issues and position Lyft as a credible voice in the future of mobility.
  • Lead reactive and crisis communications planning for European issues and high-profile reputational challenges, including drafting messaging, building outreach plans for external stakeholders, and serving as spokesperson when needed.

Comfortable thinking beyond traditional earned/social metrics to newer signals like AI search visibility and answer-engine representation. Experience or strong point of view on this a plus, but curiosity and adaptability matter most.

  • Ability to fluidly navigate between strategy and execution (can develop high-level strategic plans and also ensure high-quality execution).
