DoorDashAbout the role
About the Team
DoorDash is looking for top talent to play a pivotal role in growing our New Verticals Business in the US, Australia and New Zealand! We are looking for someone who is excited about joining a fast-paced environment and driving our next wave of growth.
About the Role
We’re hiring a Senior Associate to focus on Affordability & Pricing to lead the strategy development and implementation of improved pricing structures in order to make the platform more affordable. Your work will focus on our New Vertical businesses in both Australia and Canada, and will identify massive cost savings in tandem with improving our customer experience and making our platform more accessible for New Verticals customers. You will use a significant degree of analytical thinking and quantitative analyses to drive growth and retention for the New Verticals team. We operate in a hybrid model, we prioritize getting our teams together in person once a quarter and you have the flexibility to work from home or the office on most days! You are required to be based in the PST time zone given you will overlap with cross-functional stakeholders across all of North America & Australia. We are targeting this person to be based in Seattle, WA, Los Angeles, CA or Vancouver, BC.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…
- Strategize. From first principles, you’ll develop the optimal strategy for best serving our customers.
- Lead and collaborate. This role will lean in on strategic, multi-category projects to ensure success during each quarter.
- Build. You’ll have your fingerprints all over driving the growth of DoorDash’s next big businesses. You’ll do whatever it takes to launch, get 1% better every day, and scale something completely new. This means everything from high-level strategy to nitty-gritty operational details.
- Experiment. Run tests and scale insights. Embrace the challenge of having multiple paths forward and no right answer. Growing a business in a competitive market will not be easy.
- Analyze. You’ll assess the operational and financial impacts of your decisions, and iterate based on data.
We’re excited about you because…
- 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 just as comfortable thinking long-term and inspiring a team.
- You're unafraid of uncharted territory. Rapid change and learning is exciting to you, and you excel in new environments.
- You like data. You let data win arguments, and you're comfortable pulling and modeling large datasets. You are excited to use (or learn) SQL in your role.
- You're an operator. You have a talent for managing complex projects, converting high-level goals into action, and converting insights into scalable processes.
- You have 1-3+ years of experience in operations, technology, consulting, strategy, business development, banking, analytics, high-growth or early-stage startup experience or related experience.
