About the Role

We're looking for a Strategic Account Development Executive to drive adoption of DoorDash's growing suite of SaaS and platform tools through a primarily virtual, remote selling motion. In this role, you will own a full-cycle sales process - from discovery to pitch to close - conducted largely over Zoom, phone, and digital engagement tools, with occasional in-person meetings as needed.

You will manage a high-volume, fast-moving pipeline, working from a defined quarterly book of business. specifically focused on SMB customers. This role requires exceptional organization, digital communication skills, and the ability to influence busy restaurant operators in a remote environment.

As a virtual seller, you will leverage data, storytelling, internal tools, and thoughtful follow-up to deepen relationships with existing merchants and drive adoption of new SaaS offerings. You'll collaborate closely with cross-functional partners, provide insights into product needs, and help shape the processes that will scale one of DoorDash's fastest-growing product lines.

This role is remote with minimal travel requirements, optimized for sellers who excel at building trust and closing complex deals without relying on frequent in-person engagement.
You're excited about this opportunity because you will...
  • Drive a complex, fast-paced, high-volume sales motion.
  • Run a highly structured end-to-end sales workflow: prospecting, discovery, data analysis, pitching, negotiation, and close.
  • Excite our existing accounts on the potential to increase revenue share.
  • Engage with strategic decision makers, including C-suite, VPs, and business owners, while using data to tell a compelling story.
  • Use deep product knowledge to position advanced DoorDash Commerce platform tools designed to improve revenue, operations, and brand perception.
  • Use forecasts, unit economics, and internal insights to show merchants how various SaaS and sales packages drive revenue growth.
  • Work with Account Managers, Sales Leadership, and cross-functional partners to ensure smooth merchant onboarding and adoption.
    Contribute to building internal sales processes, documentation, and best practices for a rapidly scaling product line.
  • Travel across your region (up to 40%), while we offer flexible hours and options to work from home.
We're excited about you because...
  • You have 5+ years of closing sales experience, including 3+ years of selling B2B SaaS or Restaurant Technology products.
  • You have strong discovery skills and a track record of navigating ambiguous, fast-paced environments.
  • Ability to sell in a primarily virtual selling environment.
  • Expertise working in Salesforce, Microsoft Office, and Excel, with the ability to use data to persuade and forecast outcomes.
  • Ability to run a high-volume pipeline across many stages with precision and urgency.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration abilities and experience working with account managers or service teams.
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills with proven success driving revenue.
