About the Team

DoorDash's Legal Team has built a reputation within the company for our collaborative approach to counseling, always with a bias for action. We are a diverse group of lawyers with a shared passion for providing creative and excellent service to our business partners. We go above and beyond to help accelerate and protect the business, and above all else, we value each other as teammates. We're looking for a team player who can work across the legal team and the broader company. Join us!

About the Role

DoorDash is hiring an experienced Senior Counsel to join our dynamic legal team at a very exciting time for our expanding business. You will join the Product Legal team that supports our Dasher-facing products and services, as well as the DoorDash logistics engine.  

You'll have a broad range of responsibilities and will own projects that drive an immediate impact. You’ll provide guidance across a wide range of legal issues domestically and internationally, including consumer protection, worker classification, competition, regulatory, and privacy. Your clients will include first-in-class product managers, operators, designers, researchers, analysts, and engineers, among others. You’ll become an expert on our existing products and will partner with the business to problem-solve and help shape the development of new products, services, and business lines that power local economies.  Your focus will be empowering high-quality and efficient deliveries while building the best gig platform for financial mobility and flexibility on the planet. (TL;DR: exciting stuff!)

You're excited about this opportunity because you will…

  • Be integrated with product managers, operators, designers, researchers, analysts, engineers, and others to help them solve problems and achieve business objectives while minimizing risk.
  • Provide solution-oriented advice and legal direction to a wide variety of teams from the initial stages of project development to launch.
  • Independently develop practical guidance on issues relating to consumer protection, worker classification, competition, regulatory, and privacy.
  • Work closely with other members of the legal team - across commercial, litigation, corporate, employment, and privacy - to ensure your business partners receive holistic and effective legal guidance across disciplines. 
  • Serve as cross-functional connective tissue and help gain consensus across the non-legal teams you work with.
  • Build playbooks and establish processes to help scale our advice as a legal team.

We're excited about you because…

  • You have a business-first mentality, strong legal judgment, and the ability to make decisions in an ambiguous and fast-paced environment with imperfect information.
  • You are skilled at managing a high volume of requests from a wide range of client teams and balancing competing priorities with limited direction.
  • You understand complicated areas of law and apply them to a complex business.
  • You are a great communicator, capable of translating complex legal concepts into understandable, tactical guidance and then building consensus around it.  
  • You are committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment and have prioritized participating in DEI initiatives in past roles.
  • You have a philosophy that no task is too big or small and an interest in learning and growth.
  • You are a self-starter; you’re intrinsically motivated but also a good, collaborative teammate.
  • You have interests/passions outside of work that are important to you.
  • You have prior in-house experience.
  • You have 8+ years legal experience in a law firm and/or in-house legal department.
  • You have a JD & are admitted to any state bar.

Bonus Points

  • Previous product counseling experience.
  • Experience in the tech industry or the on-demand economy.
