About The Role

As we continue to scale our Convenience business, we’re looking to hire a Senior Associate on our Convenience Strategy & Operations team focusing on affordability. In this role, you will be responsible for launching growth initiatives to improve order and item affordability for our customers. You will dive into data to understand consumer spend behaviors and business performance at the lowest level of detail, while working cross-functionally with product, engineering, and other strategy & operations teams.

We operate in a hybrid and spend a few days a month in person together! You will report into a Manager on our Strategy & Operations team.

You’re Excited About This Opportunity Because You Will…

• Strategize. From first principles, you’ll develop the optimal strategy for best serving our customers.
• Operate. Own tracking dashboards and manage week over week metrics to drive high quality operations.
• Analyze. Build models using Excel and SQL to evaluate the economic, operational and strategic costs and benefits of various programs and experiments.
• Experiment. You’ll transform strategies into operational experiments that create measurable and actionable outcomes
• Build. You’ll have your fingerprints all over DoorDash’s Convenience business. You’ll launch new products, get 1% better every day, and scale something completely new. This means everything from high-level strategy to operational details.
• Lead, collaborate and Influence. You’ll partner with and influence cross-functional teams including growth, quality, design, marketing, partnerships and product team to build and scale the Convenience business.
  
  

We’re Excited About You Because…

• You have 2-4+ years of experience. You’ve succeeded in similar cultures that are highly analytical and cross-functional (whether in tech, operations, strategy, consulting, banking, or a related experience).
• You are an owner. You're always looking for opportunities to better your work product and own the outcome – both the good and the bad.
• You're entrepreneurial. You have a bias for action and are able to build things from the ground up.
• You’re analytical. You let data win arguments, and you’re comfortable pulling your own data in SQL and building models in excel.
• 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.
• You’re equally comfortable operating at 10,000 feet and 1 foot. You don’t hesitate to get in the weeds and operate at the lowest level of detail, but you’re just as comfortable thinking long-term and inspiring a team.
• You’re unafraid of ambiguity. Rapid change and learning is exciting to you, and you thrive in ambiguous, startup environments.
