The projects we work on are diverse and have the potential to impact each side of our marketplace - from Dashers, to Consumers, to Merchants. We are hiring a few Associate Managers that will focus on crafting and executing on how we win in some of our most strategic markets to how we strategize and plan to reach efficiency goals, all while ensuring sustainable yet strong growth for the business.

Requirements
- You’re analytical. You have a strong analytical background, advanced SQL proficiency, and a deep understanding of AI tooling. You have past experience building models from scratch, you use data to forecast outcomes.
- You solve problems from first principles. You’re excited to solve forecasting and operational 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 with SQL and data analysis, but you’re just as comfortable influencing roadmap discussions and strategic priorities.
- You have strong business acumen and understand how forecast decisions impact cost, service levels, and network performance.
- You have 4-6+ years of professional experience. Ideally you have experience in product operations, financial services, logistics, consulting, engineering, launch operations, or business operations.
- You have a completed Bachelor’s Degree.
Responsibilities
- Operate. You will understand the forecasting systems that power our business inside and out — serving as the DRI for forecast accuracy and continuously improving how we predict demand and labor needs.
- Experiment. You will identify forecast variance drivers, develop hypotheses, and test model and product changes in partnership with Product, Engineering, and Data Science — including leveraging AI-enabled forecasting tools.
- Scale. You’ll transform analytical insights into operational experiments that create measurable and scalable improvements in forecast precision.
- Build. You’ll do whatever it takes to launch and maintain forecasting enhancements — from writing complex SQL queries to drafting product requirements and supporting GTM efforts.
- Analyze. You’ll assess the operational and financial impacts of forecast improvements, model tradeoffs, and iterate based on data.
- Lead and collaborate. You’ll influence a cross-functional team, including local operations, engineering, product, and data science, driving alignment on roadmap priorities.
