DoorDash Pickup is looking for an entrepreneurial operator to join our team as a Strategy & Operations Manager.About the Role

The takeout market is enormous, with $100B+ of annual spend. DoorDash Pickup is one of our fastest growing new business units, helping merchants generate high margin sales and consumers find great local businesses to pickup from. As a Strategy & Operations Manager you will lead key initiatives to grow and improve our pickup/takeout business.

In a typical day, you may create strategies to win the top merchants, guide new product ideas or rollouts, run experiments to improve operations, dive into data to explain performance at the lowest level of detail, build tools that allow teams to increase their work 10x, and make sure we never stop growing.

What You'll Do

  • Strategize - Create and refine unique strategies across our Pickup marketplace
  • Engage - improve the way we onboard, work with, and build relationships with our merchants and strategic partners
  • Optimize – implement scalable programs across cross-functional teams
  • Experiment – Use data-driven decision-making to run tests on everything from growth strategies to the selection of merchants on the platform
  • Analyze – Build models to evaluate the economic and strategic costs and benefits of multiple programs and experiments.
  • Influence – Work with our Business Development, Sales, Account Management, Operations, Product, Engineering, Analytics, Merchant, Marketing, etc. teams to guide strategic projects and harness opportunities
  • Build — create and execute go-to-market playbooks, experimenting with new tactics to drive product adoption

About You

  • You have 4-7 years of experience.  You’ve successfully managed initiatives and driven results in high-performance cultures (whether in tech, software sales, strategy, operations, consulting, or a related experience), and you’ve led teams to achieve audacious goals; High-growth startup experience is a plus
  • You solve problems from first principles.  You like being presented with a problem and coming up with a strategic and tactical plan 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 action-oriented — You have a bias towards action and driving results
  • 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 a relationship-builder. You can influence and motivate people at all levels across a variety of functions
