About the Team & the Role

Although the Audience Insights team is a part of the Marketing structure at DoorDash, it partners with and influences the strategy of different functions across the organization. The purpose of our team is to use our knowledge and expertise to bring the insights needed to the forefront and ensure the voice of our 3 key audiences (consumers, merchants & dashers) is at the core of our decisions.
