Manager, Strategy & Operations, DoorDash for Business

About the Role

As a Manager, Strategy & Operations (Audience Growth & Product Strategy), you will play a critical role in shaping how DoorDash for Business grows its customer base, expands platform adoption, and identifies new product opportunities that can accelerate the business.

You will own the strategy for growing our audience of companies, including how we identify, prioritize, acquire, activate, and expand across key customer segments, personas, industries, and use cases. You will also own product growth strategy for our core platform, helping define how we increase adoption, engagement, retention, and customer value across existing products.

In addition, you will help identify and evaluate net-new product opportunities that can unlock future growth. This includes sizing opportunities, understanding customer pain points, validating demand, shaping early GTM strategy, and partnering with Product, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Analytics, and Finance to determine where DoorDash for Business should invest.

A core part of this role will be owning the voice of the customer. You will create structured feedback loops that capture insights from executives, administrators, employees, Sales, Customer Success, Support, and market research, then translate those insights into clear recommendations that inform product roadmaps and business priorities.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of growth strategy, product strategy, analytics, customer insight, and cross-functional execution.
