About the Team

You’ll also see products like DoubleDash & Gift Cards sitting within our New Verticals team. 

About the Role

As a Senior Associate on the Grocery Strategy & Operations team, you will play a key role in building our grocery business and P&L. You will identify & action growth opportunities & cost savings, from new use cases for customers to unit economics. We are in constant pursuit of improving our investments & ROI, and experimentation is a critical path to 1% better every day. Living our product, navigating our data, and operating from principles will serve as your guide. Your constant partners will be in Finance, and your rotating, project-dependent partners will sit across Strategy & Operations, Product, & more. We are currently operating in a hybrid model, some time in-office and some time remote but it is quite flexible! You will report into a Senior Manager on the team.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

  • Build. You’ll have your fingerprints all over DoorDash’s New Verticals business, across small, medium and enterprise businesses. You’ll do whatever it takes to launch, get 1% better every day, and scale something completely new. This means everything from high-level strategy to nitty-gritty operational details.
  • Strategize. From first principles, you’ll support in developing the optimal strategy for best serving our customers. 
  • Experiment. You’ll transform strategies into operational experiments that create measurable and actionable outcomes, informing your larger initiative implementation plans.
  • Analyze. You’ll analyze the customer and use that data to inform strategy. You’ll assess the operational and financial impacts of your decisions, and iterate based on data. 

We’re excited about you because…

  • You solve problems from first principles. You’re excited to think innovatively, and you resist “this is how it’s always been done” thinking.
  • You are an operator. You don’t hesitate to get in the weeds and operate at the lowest level of detail, but you’re also able to think long-term. You will experience our operation first hand, to inform your strategy.
  • You’re analytical. You’re comfortable building complex SQL queries across multiple data sources and have experience with data visualization and dashboarding tools
  • You’re unafraid of ambiguity. Rapid change and learning is exciting to you, and you thrive in ambiguous, startup environments
  • You have 3+ years of experience. You’ve succeeded in high-performing cultures (tech, operations, strategy, consulting, banking, or a related experience). 
  • You have a completed Bachelor’s Degree.
