You’re Excited About This Opportunity Because You Will…
- Build. You’ll have your fingerprints all over DoorDash’s New Verticals business, across grocery, convenience, retail, alcohol and more. 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.

- You’re analytical — data wins your arguments. You’re comfortable pulling your own data in SQL, modeling in Excel, and using AI tools to prototype solutions, generate insights, or automate workflows.
- You’re not afraid to dive into technical concepts. You’re eager to understand and operationalize machine learning models to drive targeting, activation, and engagement.
- You solve problems from first principles. You have a talent for synthesizing complex problems, can translate high-level goals into actionable plans, and enjoy implementing a process.
