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!

Shifts

Morning, Day, Evening, Weekend, Part‑Time.

About Part‑Time Variable Schedule Roles at DashMart

As a Variable Schedule Operations Associate, instead of a fixed weekly schedule, you largely pick up open shifts through our scheduling app. Shifts may open ahead of time or pop up at the last minute based on business needs. Schedules with available openings are posted weekly, and additional shifts may appear through shift swaps or peaks in demand.

You will be expected to work at least one shift every four weeks for a minimum of four hours each shift. Variable Schedule Operations Associates will be scheduled for one shift a month to help meet this requirement. This will also be a key time to review any relevant changes in processes and company‑provided tooling, and stay connected with the Site Leadership Team, including your supervisor.

Reliability and communication are key – when you pick up a shift, we count on you to show up on time and complete each shift, while meeting performance expectations.

You’ll start with DashMart onboarding and initial training (one shift) and complete one 4‑hour on‑the‑job training shift (must be completed within 14 days) to set you up for success, then you can begin choosing shifts based on business needs and your schedule.

About the Role

• Picking and packing orders. Pick orders that come through the app, pack the order and hand it off to Dashers.
• Inventory and spoilage management. Stock receivables and manage inventory, including shelf life.
• Warehouse organization. Clean and organize the warehouse.
• Delight customers. Ensure substitutions are approved by the customer.

Why You’ll Be Excited About This Opportunity

• Market‑competitive pay (10pm‑6am will receive a $2/hour premium during these hours)
• AM/PM/Overnight shifts available
• Opportunity for pay increases twice a year based on performance
• Paid time off (PTO) and sick leave
• Wellness/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

Why We’re Excited About You

• You’re reliable, positive, and team‑oriented.
• You have experience in grocery, food service, or warehouse operations.
• You’re detail‑oriented and passionate about fresh food quality and safety.
• You can lift up to 50 lbs and work in refrigerated areas (with or without accommodation).
• You have a high school diploma or GED.
• You’re willing to complete a Food Handler’s Certification upon hire.

Compensation

Base salary is localized according to employee work location. Actual compensation within the pay range listed below will be decided based on factors including, but not limited to, skills, prior relevant experience, and specific work location.

Benefits

DoorDash offers a comprehensive benefits package to all regular employees including a 401(k) plan with employer matching, 16 weeks of paid parental leave, wellness benefits, commuter benefits match, paid time off and paid sick leave in compliance with applicable laws, medical, dental and vision benefits, 11 paid holidays, disability and basic life insurance, family‑forming assistance, and a mental health program.

We’re committed to growing and empowering a more inclusive community within our company, industry, and cities. We hire and cultivate diverse teams of people from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.

Statement of Non‑Discrimination

In keeping with our beliefs and goals, no employee or applicant will face discrimination or harassment based on: race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, age, gender, marital/domestic partner status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability status, or veteran status. Above and beyond discrimination and harassment based on “protected categories,” we also strive to prevent other subtler forms of inappropriate behavior (i.e., stereotyping) from ever gaining a foothold in our office. Whether blatant or hidden, barriers to success have no place at DoorDash. We value a diverse workforce – people who identify as women, non‑binary or gender non‑conforming, LGBTQIA+, American Indian or Native Alaskan, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latinx, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, differently‑abled, caretakers and parents, and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply. Thank you to the Level Playing Field Institute for this statement of non‑discrimination.
