About the Role

We are looking for a Associate Manager, Partner Success to own quality, speed, and cost outcomes across our partner network. You will own the operating loop that turns frontline signal - AQA, DWR, FCR, escalations, Voice of Teammate (Tx)- into measurable improvement in Perfect Interactions, set the standards partners are held to, and represent PxS in the cross-functional decisions that shape how the network is designed and how quality is measured. You will report to the Director, Partner Success. This role may require up to 40% travel, domestic and international.
You're excited about this opportunity because you will...

• Lead programs that improve audience outcomes by delivering Perfect Interactions, reducing escalations, and increasing DWR and DashPass subscriptions.
• Partner on network redesign so work goes to the right Txs the first time, the network approaches near-100% uptime, and Tx expertise gets deeper.
• Act as the primary thought partner for critical cross-functional teams (S&O, Product, Analytics, NOE, Workflow, WFM, Finance, Policy), to land shared goals.
• Align reporting so partners, TLs, and Txs work from the same source of truth as PxS - and every level knows what to solve, why, and how.
• Mentor and upskill the leadership bench, coaching managers and ICs on the expertise and judgment required for the next level.
• Demonstrate AI fluency by identifying and implementing AI solutions that improve quality monitoring, RCA, signal aggregation, and partner operating mechanisms.

We're excited about you because...

• You have 4+ years of professional experience and a Bachelor's or Master's degree, with 7+ years in people management - including experience managing managers.
• You have led support, operations, or quality functions at scale, ideally across a partner / BPO network, accountable for a portfolio of KPIs that ladder into a functional KR.
• You shape, structure, and independently lead end-to-end delivery of strategy on complex and ambiguous problems - you can take a multi-hundred-bps gap, decompose it into the right walks, and run the operating loop until the gap closes.
• You distinguish what partners own (execution, calibration, coaching, follow-through) from what DoorDash owns (policy, product, routing, workflow, measurement), and are equally credible holding both sides accountable while driving quarterly improvements in OKRs.
• You communicate complex information clearly to executive audiences in writing, in narratives, and in live forums, and build XFN partnership that gets defects fixed.
• You have an owner mentality, are output-driven, comfortable in a fast-changing environment, and push yourself and your team toward higher standards.
