About the Team

DashMart is a local-fulfillment center owned and operated by DoorDash, offering customers household essentials and other items to their doorsteps with speed, reliability, and quality.

About the Role

In this role, you’ll work within a 5-15k sq ft distribution center, assist in leading the local warehouse operating team, and in some locations, include preparing food in a light‑prep kitchen, and help the Site Manager maintain high quality for our customers.

You’ll hire, coach and develop high-performing team members while building a safety‑first culture where employees are excited to drive success personally and for the team. You’ll serve as a leading change agent for your site, helping your team navigate new initiatives and growth projects. You’ll tackle onsite escalations, including coordination with cross‑functional partners.
• Operate: With your thumb on the pulse of all outcomes for your team, you will be directly responsible for driving results in one or more focus areas or a specific shift for your site. To achieve your performance targets, you’ll drive success through effective scheduling and by executing inventory management processes and deploying best practices from across the network. You’ll engage cross‑functional partners as needed for support.
• Strategize: Within the focus area(s) assigned by your Site Manager, you’ll analyze data and make strategic recommendations and execute actions regarding resource allocation, workflow, warehouse organization and when to engage cross‑functional partners. You may also lead some process improvement projects.
• Delight: We are customer‑obsessed. You’ll coach and empower your team to provide a highly quality customer experience with every order. Quality metrics such as order accuracy and fulfillment speed will be key measurements of success for your team. You’ll also work cross‑functionally with central teams from inventory to training to ensure your team has the tools and resources they’ll need to deliver.

• You’re a proven leader. You have managed high‑performance teams of 5+ employees with successful performance and employee development outcomes.
• You relish ownership. You’re excited to have ownership in a new and rapidly growing business. No problem is too big or too small for you, and you’re ready to show up however needed for your team.
• 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 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. You are a data‑first problem solver and you have experience using Excel or Google Sheets to analyze data, including using basic formulas and creating pivot tables.
• You have 3+ years’ experience in Operations, Warehouse Logistics, Customer Service, Retail Management, Fulfillment, or related field.
• You have 1+ years of experience managing a team.
