About the Team
DoorDash Drive is one of the fastest-growing segments within DoorDash. We offer a variety of products such as white-label delivery service capabilities, online ordering, and order-pay-at-table. These products enable our merchants (restaurants, grocers, retailers, etc.) to reach customers through their own first-party channels while leveraging their own brand identity and voice. The Drive platform’s capabilities and integrations are a massive contribution to our business’s ability to grow.
As part of the Strategy & Operations team focused on our restaurant segment, the Senior Associate will have the opportunity to help define and lead key strategic bets and initiatives to grow the business.
On a typical day, you will be working with our cross-functional partners and merchants. This will include running and refining experiments to improve operations, analyzing and diving into data to derive insights, guiding merchants on best practices for product strategy, and synthesizing learnings from merchant partners to help the product team build tools that will allow teams to increase their impact by 10x.
