About the Role

We're looking for a Retention Marketing Manager to lead CRM strategy for our Commerce Platform, a core pillar of DoorDash's merchant ecosystem. You'll be responsible for crafting lifecycle programs that drive adoption, retention, and ongoing engagement across our suite of Commerce Platform solutions. You'll collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, operations, and other marketers to influence key business outcomes through CRM channels, including email, push, SMS, and in-app messaging.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and enjoys operating at both strategic and tactical levels. You should have a deep understanding of how to leverage audience insights and data to inform marketing strategies, as well as a track record of building strong, cross-functional relationships.
You're excited about this opportunity because you will...

• Develop a comprehensive CRM strategy across the merchant lifecycle for the Commerce Platform-including automated flows, experiments, and ad hoc campaigns.
• Lead a team of two direct reports who will help to brief, optimize, and execute CRM ad-hoc campaigns and automations for the Commerce Platform business line.
• Partner with Integrated Marketing to build campaign briefs based on business goals and audience behavior, determining the right channel mix, targeting, and messaging cadence.
• Lead end-to-end campaign planning in collaboration with Marketing Ops, including creative development, stakeholder feedback, audience segmentation, and QA.
• Align CRM initiatives with broader lifecycle programs to ensure consistency across merchant touchpoints.
• Analyze performance data, establish benchmarks, and deliver actionable reporting to optimize future campaigns.

We're excited about you because...

• 6+ years of experience in lifecycle, retention, or growth marketing, preferably in B2B or SaaS environments. Demand Gen experience is a plus.
• A proven track record of driving results through cross-channel CRM campaigns.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management skills.
• Hands-on experience with CRM platforms (e.g., Iterable, Pardot) and comfort working with complex data and segmentation tools.
• Sharp analytical thinking and the ability to build data-driven strategies and report performance impact.
• Exceptional organization, ownership mindset, and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• A bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.

We expect this position to be filled by 9/6/26.
