Full Job Description
About the Role

The Consumer Integrated Marketing team is looking for a strategic, entrepreneurial, and data-driven marketer to lead DoorDash's new channels strategy - identifying, testing, and scaling new marketing channels to drive incremental new customer and MAU (monthly active users) growth efficiently. This role will report into the MAU Marketing lead, and will own end-to-end strategy - from ideation and testing through to scaled execution and measurement - across a portfolio of new channel bets that support our broader new customer acquisition goals. This includes DoorDash's Influencer & Affiliate program (creator recruitment, commission structure, content strategy, and measurement) as one flagship bet in that portfolio, alongside a handful of additional new channel tests. It's an awesome blend of working on 0 to 1 nascent bets and driving impact at scale while overseeing a substantial marketing budget.
You're excited about this opportunity because you will...
  • Own the strategy and roadmap for DoorDash's portfolio of new channel bets - identifying, testing, and scaling channels (including Influencer & Affiliate) that drive incremental New Cx and MAU growth
  • Lead the build-out of DoorDash's Influencer & Affiliate program as a flagship bet in that portfolio - from creator recruitment and onboarding to commission structure and content strategy - modeled after category leaders like Amazon
  • Partner closely with Eng, MarTech, and Analytics to build durable measurement and attribution infrastructure (deeplinking, tracking, incrementality) across new channel bets
  • Design and evolve incentive and budget structures that balance DoorDash's efficiency goals with the dynamics of each channel (e.g., influencer earning potential)
  • Set content and channel strategy across verticals (Rx, New Verticals, DashPass) and seasonal moments to drive GOV, New Cx, and brand awareness
  • Act as the "glue" across the marketing org, aligning new channel plans with priorities from Product, Engineering, Analytics, and Finance
  • Communicate with cross-functional partners and senior leadership on program performance, risks, and roadmap progress across the full channel portfolio
We're excited about you because you have...
  • Bachelor's degree or higher; MBA a plus
  • 5+ years of experience in performance, growth, or lifecycle marketing, with a track record of identifying, testing, and scaling new marketing channels from 0 to 1 (e.g., affiliate/influencer, SMS, or other emerging channels)
  • Experience collaborating and leading cross- functional workstreams with Product, CRM, paid media, creative, analytics, and finance teams
  • The ability to think about the business like a GM, drive forward highly cross-functional projects like a product manager, and speak to consumers (and, where relevant, external partners) like a seasoned marketer
  • Comfort operating with imperfect attribution - able to synthesize detailed data to make data-driven decisions while using judgment when full visibility isn't available
  • A creative and entrepreneurial mindset - you enjoy building 0-to-1 programs and finding creative solutions with limited resources
  • Excellent verbal / written communication skills, able to manage relationships with external partners as well as brief senior stakeholders
  • Nice to have: familiarity with affiliate networks and creator platforms (e.g., Impact, CJ, CreatorIQ, Tagger) and how to evaluate build-vs-buy tradeoffs for program infrastructure
