About the Team

On the Merchant Strategy & Operations team, our mission is to have best-in-class restaurant selection for Consumers and build products and services for our Merchants to grow their businesses profitably on DoorDash. We work on problems ranging from acquiring and onboarding new merchants to building a positive experience and solving pain points for existing merchants, to growing their sales through new products and services.

About the Role

As an Associate Manager for DoorDash’s Merchant Strategy & Operations team, you will drive impact by continually improving our Merchants’ experiences and focusing on delivering profitable growth for our Merchants. You will solve problems by digging into details, executing quickly in the face of ambiguity, and building strong cross-functional collaboration. In this role you will own the end-to-end strategy and execution that shape the success of Merchants on our platform and the direction of DoorDash’s core business, with a focus on sustainable growth and Merchant profitability.

On the Merchant team, you’ll get to the lowest level of detail by speaking to Merchants, partnering with our Sales, Support, Marketing, Product, and Data Science teams and analyzing our data to develop hypotheses for new ways to achieve your goals. You’ll test these hypotheses in the market and refine your approach to develop best-in-world solutions. And, you’ll also make sure to capture the Merchant voice in everything we do at the nexus of Growth, Onboarding, Operations, Product, and Strategy.

In this role, you will report to our Senior Manager of Merchant Strategy & Operations.

We’re excited about you because…
