About the Role
As we continue to scale our Retail business, we’re looking to hire a few Senior Associates to support key strategic growth initiatives and operational improvements that will help drive customer growth and increase merchant selection with high quality, speed and accuracy. In a role like this, you might work on identifying retail specific fulfillment models to improve how we showcase retail items in the app to our consumers to partnering with senior leadership on strategic planning. We have several positions open so we will be considering you for multiple roles at once and align you based on interview feedback to the best role fit. We operate in a hybrid environment and spend a few days a month in person together. You will report into a vertical lead on our Retail Strategy & Operations team and be an individual contributor. You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…
Strategize.
From first principles, you’ll develop the optimal strategy for best serving our customers and merchants. Operate.
Own tracking dashboards and manage week over week metrics related to new merchant launches, consumer acquisition, quality metrics and more. Analyze.
Build models using Excel and SQL to evaluate the economic, operational and strategic costs and benefits of various programs and experiments. Experiment.
Transform strategies into operational experiments that create measurable and actionable outcomes. Build.
You’ll have your fingerprints on DoorDash’s next big business, launching new products and scaling something completely new, from high-level strategy to operational details. Lead, collaborate and Influence.
You’ll partner with and influence cross-functional teams including growth, quality, design, marketing, partnerships and product to build and scale the Grocery business. We’re excited about you because…
You have 2-4+ years of experience.
You’ve succeeded in similar, highly analytical and cross-functional environments (whether in tech, operations, strategy, consulting, banking, or related experiences). You are an owner.
You’re always looking for opportunities to better your work product and own the outcome – both the good and the bad. You're entrepreneurial.
You have a bias for action and are able to build things from the ground up. You’re analytical.
You let data win arguments, and you’re comfortable pulling your own data in SQL and building models in Excel. 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. You’re unafraid of ambiguity.
Rapid change and learning is exciting to you, and you thrive in ambiguous, startup environments. You have a completed Bachelor’s Degree.
