About the Team
DoorDash’s Trust and Safety team is seeking an experienced program manager to oversee our work in the screenings space. Trust and Safety is focused on proactively mitigating safety risks on the DoorDash platform while also responding to safety incidents quickly, effectively, and empathetically to ensure our consumers, dashers, and merchants have a high-quality and safe experience. Our work around screenings is critical to ensure that every delivery on DoorDash is a safe one.
