Senior Associate, Marketplace - Strategy & Operations

DoorDash is hiring a Senior Associate for its US Marketplace Strategy & Operations team. The role owns growth projects, develops and tests strategies and experiments, analyzes outcomes, and collaborates cross-functionally to grow the Marketplace business.

Responsibilities

• Build and own. You’ll have your fingerprints all over DoorDash’s next wave of growth. You’ll do whatever it takes to launch, get 1% better every day, and scale something completely new, from high-level strategy down to the nitty-gritty operational details
• Incubate. You’ll take bets that don’t have an owner yet, scope them, test them, and either graduate them into funded programs or kill them with a clear, well-argued recommendation
• Strategize. From first principles, you’ll develop the optimal strategy for growing segments and launching bets that no existing playbook covers
• Experiment. You’ll turn strategies into operational experiments that create measurable, actionable outcomes, then use those results to shape the larger implementation plan
• Analyze. You’ll pull your own data, assess the operational and financial impact of your decisions, and iterate based on what you find
• Lead and collaborate. You’ll work with cross-functional partners across product, analytics, marketing, sales, and finance to get your initiatives resourced and shipped
