• Bring structure and solutions to ambiguous situations where the path forward isn't always defined
• Build deep expertise in DoorDash's systems and tools to drive positive outcomes for our customers
• Track and validate customer feedback to influence meaningful updates to our products and tools

We're excited about you because…

• 3 or more years of experience in account management, customer support, hospitality, or a related field
• High School Degree or GED required, Bachelor's degree preferred
• Hands on experience with Salesforce or similar CRM platforms and ability to interpret dashboards
• Proficiency in Microsoft Suite and Google Suite

• Experience working with SQL
• Track record of advocating for customer experience within a team or initiative
• You build relationships easily and earn trust quickly
