The New Verticals team is redefining local commerce by expanding DoorDash beyond restaurants into Grocery, Convenience, Liquor, Retail, Flowers, and more. We build meaningful partnerships with standout local and regional merchants, helping them grow and meet customers where they are. Stationed regionally, we move fast, think creatively, and lead the charge in developing new categories across the U.S. Together, we’re shaping a platform that gives consumers access to more of what they need, when they need it.
This is a field sales opportunity based out of the cities specified above. You will need to live in or in proximity to the cities listed.
As a Regional Merchant Lead (Outside Sales Representative), you will own the full sales cycle for bringing new non-restaurant partners onto DoorDash. This is a fast-paced, high velocity role where you will prospect, pitch, negotiate, and close deals in our emerging categories such as grocery, convenience, alcohol, and retail.
Merchant selection is central to DoorDash’s growth – each high-quality partner we onboard strengthens our marketplace, accelerates customer acquisition, deepens retention, and unlocks meaningful revenue across our fastest-growing categories. You will meet with restaurant owners – walking into businesses, running pitches, and building strong local relationships – while introducing them to DoorDash’s suite of offerings, negotiating revenue share agreements, selling multi-product solutions, and helping them understand how partnering with DoorDash will grow their business.
On New Verticals, change is the norm – and our best Regional Merchant Leads turn constant change into an advantage. You’ll operate with autonomy, bring structure to emerging opportunities, contribute to strategic initiatives, support rollouts, and iterate quickly as categories evolve.
This is a field sales role with travel within the region. You will 50%+ of your time in-field meeting with merchants (typically 2-3 days per week) with additional flexibility to work remotely or from a DoorDash office. 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.
