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 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

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. You are expected to work at least one shift every four weeks for a minimum of four hours each shift. A shift a month will be scheduled to help meet this requirement. 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 onboarding and initial training (one shift) and complete one 4‑hour on‑the‑job training shift (must be completed within 14 days) before choosing shifts based on business needs and your schedule.

Responsibilities

• Picking and packing orders: pick orders that come through the app, pack them, and hand them 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.

What’s on the table?

• Market‑competitive pay (10 pm–6 am 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

We’re excited about you because

• Reliable, positive, and team‑oriented
• Experience in grocery, food service, or warehouse operations
• Detail‑oriented and passionate about fresh food quality and safety
• Can lift up to 50 lbs and work in refrigerated areas (with or without accommodation)
• High school diploma or GED
• Willing to complete a Food Handler’s Certification upon hire

Compensation

Base pay: $17.50 per hour, localized based on employee 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, medical, dental, and vision benefits, 11 paid holidays, disability and basic life insurance, and a mental health program.

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 from ever gaining a foothold in our office.
