The US Local Markets team is responsible for growing DoorDash’s business at the local level. As the “local operators” at DoorDash, we identify & execute against opportunities to accelerate growth & improve our product across all three sides of the Marketplace (customer, merchant, Dasher). 

About the Role

DoorDash is looking for a Manager to join the Strategy & Operations team to accelerate growth in the Southeast & Texas regions. We are hiring out of Atlanta (Southeast region) as well as Austin or Houston (Texas region). 

You have experience blending analytics and creativity to scope and implement solutions, working as an individual contributor and as part of a larger team. You move deliberately and with speed. You can reliably manage multiple workstreams at a low level of detail.

• Operate – Figure out how to get from A to B–then actually make it happen.
• Experiment - Run tests and scale insights. Embrace the challenge of having multiple paths forward and no right answer. Building a business in a competitive market is not easy.

• You have 6+ years of experience. You’ve succeeded in high-performance cultures (whether in tech, operations, strategy, consulting, banking, or a related experience).
• You have led and motivated a team before
• You have a talent for summarizing complex problems, can translate high-level goals into relevant plans
