About Senior Associate, New Verticals - Top Shopper Strategy & Operations

  About the Team

  The New Verticals team is all about expanding DoorDash beyond Restaurants, and helping deliver anything our Customers want. Our Shopper team focuses on how to make DoorDash the best place to order your groceries, convenience, alcohol and retail goods.

  About the Role

  You will help define our Shopper strategy and how we manage grocery, convenience, alcohol and retail orders to perfection. You will analyze large sets of data to inform new strategic initiatives, product features and operational processes. You will also own quality metrics and be responsible for using a combination of Ops and Product levers to drive down order defects. By improving the shopper experience, you will be able to impact consumer behaviors, average order volume and operational costs. You will report into a Manager on the New Verticals Strategy & Operations team. We operate in a hybrid model; we do try to get the team together once a quarter in person! 

  You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

  Analyze. You are familiar with SQL and love working with data to drive business decision-making. 

  Build. You will help build strategic initiatives that impact our Dasher/Shopper fleet at scale; this can vary from shopper rewards programs to shopper operational tactics. This means everything from high-level strategy to operational details.

  Collaborate. You will advocate internally for solutions to enhance the user experience. Where a product or operations solution is needed to unlock growth and reduce cost, you will advocate for those resources with your central partners.

  Lead. You will help lead cross-functional work streams to develop an operating playbook to establish processes and guidelines to grow our Top Shopper program and ensure every Shopping order is done right. You will help ideate new features and products to move our Shop & Deliver strategy forward.

  Strategize. You will help develop the strategy for how we bring groceries to consumers, achieving perfect quality every time. You will help create quarterly and annual plans that push our business forward and are aligned with our product capabilities. You will help these teams identify opportunities for enhancing our existing product offering and methods to improve delivery quality.

  We’re excited about you because…

  You solve problems from first principles. You’re excited to think innovatively, and you resist “this is how it’s always been done” thinking.

  You’re equally comfortable operating at 10,000 feet and 1 foot. You don’t hesitate to get in the weeds and operate at the lowest level of detail, but you’re also able to think long-term.

  You’re analytical. You’re comfortable building complex SQL queries across multiple data sources and have experience with data visualization and dashboarding tools or you’re willing to learn.

  You have 3+ years of experience. You’ve succeeded in high-performing cultures (tech, operations, strategy, consulting, banking, or a related experience).

  About DoorDash

  At DoorDash, our mission to empower local economies shapes how our team members move quickly, learn, and reiterate in order to make impactful decisions that display empathy for our range of users—from Dashers to merchant partners to consumers. We are a technology and logistics company that started with door-to-door delivery, and we are looking for team members who can help us go from a company that is known for delivering food to a company that people turn to for any and all goods.

  DoorDash is growing rapidly and changing constantly, which gives our team members the opportunity to share their unique perspectives, solve new challenges, and own their careers. We're committed to supporting employees’ happiness, healthiness, and overall well-being by providing comprehensive benefits and perks including premium healthcare, wellness expense reimbursement, paid parental leave and more.

  We’re committed to growing and empowering a more inclusive community within our company, industry, and cities. That’s why we hire and cultivate diverse teams of people from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We believe that true innovation happens when everyone has room at the table and the tools, resources, and opportunity to excel.
