About the RoleScale and lead the strategic vision for Convenience Operations, one of DoorDash's largest and most dynamic verticals. In this role, you will join a high-performing team dedicated to driving continuous improvement across our daily ecosystem. Your mission is to architect the operational strategies that ensure every customer receives their order with perfect accuracy and unmatched speed, redefining the standard for modern convenience.
Key Responsibilities- Architect the fulfillment strategy of our convenience network by overseeing and streamlining in-store fulfillment, scaling macro-level solutions that maximize efficiency and ease for our Dashers across DoorDash's Convenience portfolio
- Drive enterprise inventory precision by spearheading cross-functional, high-impact initiatives to ensure real-time data syncs flawlessly between platform inventory and actual in-store availability at scale
- Own the operational roadmap by setting the long-term vision and establish key metrics to firmly position DoorDash as the premier, highest-quality destination for convenience shopping
This role sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, and product. The best operators today are rapidly generating new ideas, taking ownership over metrics and moving them in the right direction, putting together product visions, and synthesizing complex analyses - all while leveraging AI to uplevel how we operate. We expect this person to stay at the forefront of how AI is reshaping the work, actively exploring new tools, automating repetitive workflows, and finding ways to do in hours what used to take weeks.
This is an individual contributor position and you will report into a Senior Manager on the team. We operate in a hybrid model and spend a few days a month in person together.
You're excited about this opportunity because you will...- Strategize. From first principles, you'll develop the optimal strategy for best serving all sides of the marketplace - dashers, merchants and consumers.
- Operate. Own tracking dashboards and manage week over week metrics to drive high quality operations.
- Build with AI. You'll use AI tools to automate manual processes, build new prototypes and develop product visions. You'll be expected to push the boundaries of what's possible with AI in your day-to-day work, and share what you learn with the team.
- Experiment. You'll transform strategies into operational experiments, product features and net-new tooling that create measurable outcomes.
- Analyze. Build models using Excel and SQL to evaluate the economic, operational and strategic costs and benefits of various programs and experiments - and increasingly, use AI to accelerate and deepen that analysis.
- Lead, collaborate and Influence. You'll partner with and influence cross-functional teams including growth, quality, finance, product and engineering to launch initiatives to the finish line.
We're excited about you because...- You have 4-6+ 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 environment
- You're energized by AI tools - and you actively experiment with them. You don't wait to be told how to use a new tool; you've already tried it. You bring a builder's mindset to AI: using it to automate the repetitive, accelerate the analytical, and unlock work that would otherwise require a larger team. You're comfortable with a role whose scope will continue to shift as AI becomes more capable, and you see that as an opportunity rather than a threat.
- You have a completed Bachelor's Degree. MBA is a plus!
