Bid Coordinator

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 Bid Coordinator is the organizational backbone of the bid team. Working alongside Bid Managers and Bid Specialists, this role makes sure every bid runs to a rigorous, well-managed process, so that deadlines are met, contributors know what is expected of them, and nothing falls through the cracks. This is a process and project coordination role rather than a content or strategy role. The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive: someone who enjoys building order out of complexity, keeps many moving parts on track at once, and is comfortable following up with colleagues across the business to keep work moving. It is a strong entry point for someone looking to grow a career in bid management.

Responsibilities: 

• Bid Planning and Scheduling Support
  
  • Support Bid Managers in building bid plans that work backward from the submission date, including milestones, review gates, internal deadlines, and buffer time. 
  • Set up and maintain bid trackers, schedules, and responsibility matrices (e.g., RACI) for each pursuit.
  • Keep plans up to date as timelines shift, and flag schedule risks to the Bid Man
