About the Job

Requirements

  • You have 12+ years of substantial experience leading strategy and operations in a complex, high-growth business, with a track record of building new offerings and scaling them into sustainable businesses.
  • You have deep experience designing or running parcel, last-mile, or logistics networks, including site design, package flow, and routing.
  • You have owned cost and service results for a network and make decisions based on data, including when the data disagrees with the plan.
  • You work well with Engineering, Data Science, and Operations to turn prototypes into products.
  • You move quickly and care about the details, such as testing in one city, reading the results, and then scaling or stopping.

Responsibilities

  • Design short- and long-term topology plans for a network, evaluate long-term investments over 3–5 years, and solve near-term profit-and-loss opportunities.
  • Design the Parcel network end to end, including where packages enter, sort, and travel; decide by city whether to build, lease, or partner; design speed tenants and customer-facing experiences.
  • Set the delivery promise, cut-off times, and capacity plans for peak season and disruptions, and review plan-versus-actual results every week.
  • Turn package volume into delivery routes that are attractive to Dashers and profitable for DoorDash, and design pickup and long-distance trucking between sites with partner carriers.
  • Build planning tools with Engineering and Data Science, prototyping simulation and optimization with AI and Python before requesting headcount.
  • Be measured on speed, cost per package, network productivity, Dasher experience, and reliability, reviewed weekly as ranges rather than averages.

About the Company

DoorDash

Runs apps for local food and grocery delivery

DoorDash runs apps that let people order restaurant meals, groceries, and other goods from local businesses, which independent couriers called Dashers bring to their doors. In 2019 it overtook Grubhub to become the largest food delivery service in the United States, and it later expanded abroad by buying Finland's Wolt and Britain's Deliveroo. Merchants pay DoorDash a fee on each order and can buy ads in its apps, while customers pay delivery and service fees or join DashPass, a subscription that cuts those fees. Businesses can also hire Dashers through its Drive service to carry orders placed on their own websites. Four Stanford students founded DoorDash in 2013, and it is based in San Francisco, California.
