Archived listing. The details below describe a past opening.
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.
Content Systems is the heart of Lyft's language ecosystem. The team is made up of two distinct disciplines, Content Design and Learning Experience Design, who create and own language across Lyft's in-app experiences that help customers succeed on the Lyft platform.
We're looking for a Content Systems intern to join our team for the summer. This role will both help design and build our internal content system (think information architecture), and embed in a rotation of design teams as a content design/learning design partner in building products across the Lyft community. Of course, you won’t be alone. You'll work with designers, researchers, marketers, and product managers day in and day out to develop experiences that reach and resonate with riders.
This internship will take place in our Toronto office during Summer 2027.
Responsibilities
What we're looking for
What you'll get from Content Systems
Lyft highly values having employees working in-office to foster a collaborative work environment and company culture. This role will be in-office on a hybrid schedule - Team Members will be expected to work in the office at least 3 days per week, including on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Lyft considers working in the office at least 3 days per week to be an essential function of this hybrid role. Your recruiter can share more information about the various in-office perks Lyft offers.
The expected base pay range for this position in the Toronto area is CAD $40 - CAD $46 per hour. Salary ranges are dependent on a variety of factors, including qualifications, experience and geographic location. Your recruiter can share more information about the salary range specific to your working location and other factors during the hiring process.
Lyft may use artificial intelligence to screen applicants, however, Lyft employees make the ultimate selection and hiring decisions.
This is a new position.
