Associate, New Verticals

Job Description

About the Team

New Verticals is a new, lean team at DoorDash. We’re building and scaling new ways to delight our customers, leveraging the DoorDash Marketplace platform.

About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on, analytical builder and leader to help launch and scale special projects on the DoorDash Marketplace platform

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will...

• Build. You’ll have your fingerprints all over DoorDash’s next big business. You’ll do whatever it takes to launch, get 1% better every day, and scale something completely new. This means everything from high-level strategy to nitty-gritty operational details.
• Strategize. From first principles, you’ll develop the optimal strategy for best serving our customers.
• Experiment. You’ll transform strategies into operational experiments that create measurable and actionable outcomes
• Analyze. You’ll assess the operational and financial impacts of your decisions, and iterate based on data.

We’re excited about you because...

Required:

• You solve problems from first principles. You’re excited to solve problems in innovative ways, and you resist “this is how it’s always been done” thinking.
• You’re equally comfortable operating at 10,000 feet and 1 foot. You don’t hesitate to get in the weeds and operate at the lowest level of detail, but you’re just as comfortable thinking long-term and inspiring a team. No job is beneath you.
• You’re unafraid of ambiguity. Rapid change and learning is exciting to you, and you thrive in ambiguous, startup environments
• You’re analytical. You let data win arguments, and you’re comfortable pulling your own data in SQL or modeling in Excel.
• You’re relentless. You do what it takes to win, no matter what.
• You have 1-4 years of experience. You’ve succeeded in high-performance cultures (whether in tech, operations, strategy, consulting, banking, or a related experience).
• You’re open to travel. This role may require 20%+ travel time.

Bonus Points:

• You have experience starting or scaling a successful startup.
• You have a demonstrated interest in logistics, on-demand services, and marketplaces.
