About the Role

You will drive the strategy for one of our newest business lines. You will quickly become an expert about our product, operations, and Merchants.

You will perform comprehensive analysis and make insightful recommendations about our business strategy with the ultimate goal of helping DoorDash disrupt a new industry.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Strategize – Understand the needs of our partners, prioritize those needs by impact, assess tradeoffs, and design solutions to drive both speed and quality outcomes
• Build – Bring structure to undefined opportunities by creating and implementing high-impact playbooks, models, processes, and tools that help us grow new business more quickly and effectively
• Analyze – Solve key problems with a data-driven, first-principles approach (identification, sizing, pricing, impact, root causing, trade offs)
• Influence – Work cross-functionally with our Business Development, Logistics, and Product teams to rapidly scale new business

We’re excited about you because you…

• Possess strong analytical skills, including proficiency with SQL and Microsoft Excel
• Have strong cross-functional skills and experience with projects spanning multiple teams
• Act with urgency and take ownership; you quickly jump on the most important issues and you are capable of driving multiple work streams simultaneously
• Are excited about challenging, ambiguous problems and understand when to go to the lowest level of detail to drive results
• Are curious about the business and how things work; you ask great questions and are not afraid to challenge the status-quo
• Have 1-3 years of relevant experience in high-growth environments
• Have a Bachelor’s Degree
