Lyft · Montreal, Canada
Lyft Urban Solutions specializes in the design, manufacturing, and support of bikeshare technology and infrastructure for global cities. In this role, you will serve as the primary People Business Partner based in Montreal, acting as the key point of contact for the local site while supporting the broader Urban Solutions team. Your daily responsibilities will involve translating business objectives into actionable people strategies, coaching managers through performance and development challenges, and overseeing organizational health. You will manage essential human resources rhythms, including compensation cycles, talent reviews, and workforce planning, while ensuring all initiatives align with Quebec employment law and regulatory requirements, such as those involving the OQLF and CNESST. This position requires a hands-on approach, balancing strategic planning with the day-to-day needs of both corporate and site-based teams. The ideal candidate is a proactive HR professional with significant experience in employee relations, organizational change, and data-driven decision-making. You must be professionally fluent in both French and English and comfortable navigating complex employment landscapes to support a diverse, multi-disciplinary workforce.
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. Lyft Urban Solutions (LUS) creates bikeshare programs that riders love, cities need, and operators value.

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. Manage people rhythms autonomously and with excellence: bringing performance reviews, compensation cycles, talent reviews, workforce planning, organizational health reporting and engagement surveys to life for your client groups, and making sure managers are ready for each. 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.
