Full Job Description
About the Role

We are hiring two team members to join our New Verticals Strategy & Operations team to focus on our highest priority initiatives at any given time. This means - you might work on growth for a few months then pivot to a supply chain role or spend some time working on logistics challenges. The sky's the limit in this role - you will gain exposure to company wide initiatives and high priority sprints, across multiple verticals while making a big and quick impact. You'll gain a breadth of experiences across Grocery, Convenience, Alcohol, Retail and DashMart. You will move daily metrics, run a/b tests, launch new initiatives and so much more while working cross-functionally with product, engineering, finance and other folks on strategy & operations.

You'll be an individual contributor. We operate in a hybrid and spend a few days a month in person together! You must currently be based in New York or San Francisco. This role does not offer relocation and is not open to fully remote employees. We will be conducting batch interviews so please submit your application by Friday 8/7 as we are aiming to fill this role by early September with a start date no later than 9/28 .
You're excited about this opportunity because you will...
  • Operate. Stand up 01 pilots, build dashboards, manage week-over-week KPIs and turn wins into scalable processes.
  • Launch. You may launch net-new merchants, experiment new initiatives and run in market tests.
  • Analyze. Build models using Excel and SQL to evaluate expansion opportunities and prioritize the next bets.
  • Build. Translate consumer, merchant and dasher needs into product requirements, operational improvements and tangible outcomes
  • Collaborate and Influence. You'll partner with and lead cross-functional teams across product, engineering, finance, marketing and other folks on strategy & operations.
We're excited about you because...
  • You have 1-2+ years of experience. You've succeeded in similar cultures that are highly analytical and cross-functional (banking or consulting preferred)
  • You're unafraid of ambiguity. Rapid change and learning is exciting to you, and you thrive in ambiguous, startup environments where you can be creative and scrappy. You will work on a project basis, so being comfortable in high levels of ambiguity with the expectation of making impact fast is a must.
  • You're analytical. You let data win arguments, and you're comfortable pulling your own data in SQL and building models in excel.
  • You're adaptable. You are constantly chasing new tools and ways to become more efficient and know where, when and how to use AI.
  • You have a completed Bachelor's Degree in Economics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Business Administration, or relevant field.
  • You are ready to join and excited about a hybrid work environment. You must be able to start full-time by September 28th, 2026 and currently be based in New York or San Francisco. We are not accepting applications of candidates outside of New York or San Francisco, relocation is not offered.
