About the Team

The New Verticals team is building and scaling our next big businesses on the DoorDash Marketplace platform, focusing on markets beyond food (e.g., Pet Supplies, Beauty, Home, and Electronics). These Retail categories bring about new challenges and opportunities to build something at DoorDash from the ground up.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Senior Associate to help us build and scale brand new retail businesses. You will cover key functions such as defining the strategy, testing hypotheses, developing the go-to-market playbook, and scaling selection acquisition that will take our retail categories to the next level.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Build. You’ll have your fingerprints all over DoorDash’s next big business. 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.
• Strategize. From first principles, you’ll develop the optimal strategy for best serving our customers. 
• Experiment. You’ll transform strategies into operational experiments that create measurable and actionable outcomes
• Analyze. You’ll assess the operational and financial impacts of your decisions, and iterate based on data.
• Lead and collaborate. You’ll work with a cross-functional team, including marketing, design, product, and operations to build this new line of business for DoorDash.

We’re excited about you because…

Required:

• You solve problems from first principles. You’re excited to solve problems in innovative ways, 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 just as comfortable thinking long-term and inspiring a team. No job is beneath you.
• You’re unafraid of ambiguity. Rapid change and learning is exciting to you, and you thrive in ambiguous, startup environments
• You’re analytical. You let data win arguments, and you’re comfortable pulling your own data in SQL or modeling in Excel.
• You’re relentless. You do what it takes to win, no matter what.
• You have 3+ years of experience. You’ve succeeded in high-performance cultures (whether in tech, operations, strategy, consulting, banking, or a related experience).

Bonus Points:

• You have experience starting or scaling a successful startup.
• You have a demonstrated interest or experience in retail and/or ecommerce.
• You have SQL experience.
