About the role
- As the People Business Partner for Lyft Urban Solutions (LUS), you'll be the go-to people partner and primary People lead for the Montreal site.
- You'll translate business priorities into practical people plans, help managers lead through complex people issues, and make sure our programs land properly in a Quebec context.
Responsibilities
- Partnering with managers and leaders across LUS on team health, performance, development and retention, providing thought partnership that's direct, practical and grounded in the business.
- Leading the People responsibilities for the Montreal site, including liaising with CNESST, the OQLF, and running the 1% Training Law program.

- Supporting employee relations matters with care and sound judgement, from first conversation through to resolution, partnering with Employee Relations and Legal where cases are complex.
- Supporting organizational changes, from small team restructures to larger shifts in how LUS is organized, including planning, manager preparation, project management and team member communication.
- Applying Quebec employment law and practice to Lyft's global programs, and flagging early where something needs to be adapted locally.
- Using data to spot patterns, such as attrition, engagement and hiring trends, and bringing them to leaders with a clear view on what to do next.
- Partnering with Finance to track headcount cost, holding leaders accountable and advising on headcount shifts to remain neutral to budget while optimizing for business outcomes.
- Being a visible, trusted presence on site, particularly for teams who don't sit at a desk all day.
