Job description

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. Customers order their convenience, grocery, retail, and prepared foods in the DoorDash app, and our team members fulfill orders in a real, brick‑and‑mortar store for Dashers to deliver. We’re open early and close late – some sites even run 24/7!

About the Role

DashMart is looking for a motivated and experienced individual that excels in fast‑paced, physical environments and is excited to roll up their sleeves and actively engage in day‑to‑day operations. In this role, you will work within a local fulfillment center supporting Site Management to run great shifts and delegate tasks. As a Shift Lead, you will have shift responsibility for fulfilling orders in a warehouse environment and maintaining inventory, and in some locations this involves preparing food in a light‑prep kitchen.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Be an Owner: Take ownership of your assigned shifts, including warehouse and kitchen processes, safety/cleanliness, quality, and training. Maintain accountability for inventory, equipment, and other company assets to ensure they are properly handled, stored, and protected from loss or theft.
• Delight Customers: Ensure customer orders are delivered with high quality by executing orders accurately, communicating with customers when issues arise, and making sure Dasher pickups go smoothly.
• Lead: Guide Operations Associates through their shift by ensuring the team works safely and productively and serves as the point of escalation for daily operations.
• One Team One Fight: Support operations in both the warehouse and kitchen, assist with day‑to‑day tasks, and lead by example. You will be expected to engage in professional and respectful interactions with team members and customers, ensuring a positive and safe atmosphere in the warehouse while providing a high‑quality experience for our customers.
• Help improve operations: Contribute ideas to improve our quality and customer experience.

We’re excited about you because…

• You’re self‑motivated, positive, and a team player. You work well with others, and you bring a great attitude to your work each and every day. You have high integrity and are excited to delight customers.
• You have a proven track record of success in food and beverage, warehouse, and/or retail environments.
• You’re able to be on your feet and move heavy products. You are excited and physically able (with or without accommodation) to lift up to 50 lbs., depending on the needs of the specific site, and can operate a pallet jack and hand truck.
• You have the ability and desire to obtain and maintain a food handling certificate. (DoorDash will provide this training)
• You have a high school diploma or GED equivalent. A college diploma is even better but not required.
• You are at least 18 years of age.
• You're organized and proficient in Google Docs and Google Sheets.
• You have flexibility in your schedule. Depending upon the scheduling needs of the hiring site, you can be available for a number of different shifts a week.

Benefits

• Market Competitive pay
• Opportunity for pay increases twice a year based on performance
• Paid time off (PTO) and sick leave
• Health benefits starting Day 1 (Medical, Dental, & Vision)
• 401k match
• Gym membership reimbursement (up to $75/month)
• Monthly DashPass subscription (including access to Lyft discounts for full‑time employees)
• Employee Assistance Program
• Career advancement opportunities
