About the Role

The Manager, Quality Assurance reports to the Senior Manager, Quality & Support, and oversees the daily operations of our Customer Experience and Integrity (CXI) QA team. You'll design and execute a scalable QA strategy that meets the needs of diverse cross-functional partners. You'll investigate and resolve complex quality issues, analyze workflows for adherence to standards, and develop your team into a customer experience-driving powerhouse.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll foster collaboration, develop talent, and solve problems in real time. This position requires in-office presence at our Tempe corporate office for in-person coaching, cross-functional collaboration, and immediate problem-solving. Candidates must live within 50 miles of the Tempe, Arizona office.

In-office days are determined by business needs and may change-speak with your recruiter for the current schedule. This role also requires periodic domestic and international travel to DoorDash offices and partner sites.

  • Partner cross-functionally with Support, Integrity Operations, S&O, and other key stakeholders to deliver a best-in-class customer experience.

  • Excel at building cross-functional relationships and aligning diverse stakeholders.
  • Thrive in fast-changing environments and navigate ambiguity with ease.
  • Translate high-level goals into actionable plans using technical skills and data insights (comfortable summarizing large datasets in Sheets/Excel to drive decisions).
  • Operate with a bias for action-turning analysis into execution, testing hypotheses, and solving root-level problems with first-principles thinking.
