The Emerging Markets team promotes growth in local economies by building meaningful partnerships with merchants across underdeveloped, high-opportunity markets. We focus on T4–T5 geographies—one of DoorDash’s highest company priorities, representing over 40% of remaining restaurant opportunities as we expand beyond core cities and suburbs. Our team creates first connections with SMB restaurants and retailers, helping them grow and monetize through on-demand delivery.
This is a field sales opportunity with extensive travel within the region. You will need to live by or in proximity to a major airport.
As a Growth Merchant Lead (GML), you will play a pivotal role in expanding DoorDash’s footprint by opening new markets and bringing new restaurant partnerships onto the platform. You will own a high-velocity, in-person sales cycle and spend the majority of your time developing Tier 4-5 (“emerging”) markets – some of DoorDash’s largest remaining areas of opportunity. This role requires extensive travel (70%+) and is ideal for someone who is energized by building new markets from the ground up and influencing market growth directly.
You’ll report to a Regional Sales Manager for the region and work cross-functionally with teams across the business. You’ll join a culture that prioritizes learning, ownership, and career development, with direct access to the support and resources you need to grow to the next level.
This is a field sales role with extensive travel within the region. You will spend most of your time traveling in the region meeting with merchants, with some time working remotely. In addition, this role will require the ability to travel as needed for in-person collaboration through trainings, offsites, team-building events, and other business related necessity.
