Our New Verticals team launched in 2020 with the purpose of delighting our customers and empowering local communities outside of just restaurants. Since then, we’ve launched Grocery, Convenience, Alcohol, Retail, and DashMarts while also building merchant services, dasher tooling and consumer products. New Verticals is the growth engine of DoorDash’s business and we are continuing to build and scale new businesses everyday!
We are hiring two Senior Associates on our Grocery Merchant Strategy & Operations teams to work on major enterprise merchant initiatives. Grocery is one of our highest priority, most complex verticals that is key to acquiring consumers to new verticals outside of just restaurants.
In these roles, you will lead growth projects for major Grocery merchants to ensure we are able to onboard every SKU or service a grocery store offers. This includes portfolio management, ideating and launching 0-1 initiatives across our merchants, onboarding merchants to new services and improving quality every step of the way. You will partnership with closely with product, engineering, finance, analytics and business development to bring these initiatives to life!
These roles sit at the intersection of strategy, operations, and product. The best operators today are rapidly generating new ideas, taking ownership over metrics and moving them in the right direction through building product visions, synthesizing complex analyses and testing every idea — all while leveraging AI to uplevel how we operate. We expect this person to stay at the forefront of how AI is reshaping the work, actively exploring new tools, automating repetitive workflows, and finding ways to do in hours what used to take weeks.
You will report into a Manager on our New Verticals Strategy & Operations team and be an individual contributor position. We operate in a hybrid model and spend a few days a month in person together. We have two positions so throughout the interview process, we will consider you for two roles and align on role fit throughout the interview process!
