Hybrid
The New Verticals team is building the future of local commerce by expanding our product offerings on our marketplace platform. We launched in 2020 and have since then built world-class operations to delight our customers with access to Grocery, Convenience, Alcohol, and Retail delivery through our marketplace; this team is shaping the future of DoorDash Retail and how we empower local economies across industries like pets, flowers, home improvement and so much more!
As we scale Retail and focus on New Bets, we're hiring a few Associate Managers on our Strategy & Operations team to launch our newest Retail products and selection from the ground up. Throughout the interview process, you will be considered for two roles - one focused on new products and one focused on new selection. You will meet with both hiring managers & we will align based on interview performance, where you’d be the strongest candidate at a final interview.
In these roles, you'll identify net-new areas where we have a "right to win" and work cross-functionally with product, design, analytics, and engineering to build and scale great products in those spaces. You'll drive analysis-backed strategy, run operational experiments, and partner with technical and non-technical teams to take DoorDash's Retail business to the next level.
This role sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, and product. The best operators today are rapidly prototyping ideas, building mocks for user research, putting together product visions, and synthesizing complex analyses — all with the leverage of AI tools. 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. The scope of this role will continue to evolve as AI tools become more powerful and accessible, and we want someone who finds that trajectory exciting rather than unsettling.
We operate in a hybrid model and spend a few days a month in person together. This is an individual contributor position.
