Associate, Marketplace - Strategy & Operations
About The Position
DoorDash is looking for an analytical and entrepreneurial operator to join our US Local Markets team that is responsible for accelerating growth across diverse market archetypes at a local level. You will dive into data to explain performance at the lowest level of detail, create and execute on high-impact strategies, and work alongside internal and external stakeholders to grow our business while solving core problems for our consumer, merchant, and dasher audiences. As an Associate on the US Local Markets team, you'll help drive growth across the New York Region. Your job will require understanding and solving the puzzle of how we can optimize our three-sided marketplace across one of our largest and most dynamic markets. You will dive into the data to understand hyperlocal nuances, launch high-impact experiments, and build new playbooks that define how DoorDash can continue to grow and empower local economies. We are hiring for an Associate to join our team to be based in New York.
Requirements
- 1-3+ years of experience.
- Successfully managed initiatives and driven results in high-performance cultures (whether in tech, strategy, operations, consulting, banking or a related experience); High-growth startup experience is a plus.
- 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.
- 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.
- Action-oriented. You have a bias towards action and driving results.
- Unafraid of ambiguity. Rapid change and learning is exciting to you, and you thrive in ambiguous, startup environments.
- Analytical. You let data win arguments, and you’re an expert at pulling your own data and modeling in Excel/Google Sheets.
- Relationship-builder. You can influence and motivate people at all levels across a variety of functions.
- Actively use AI tools to accelerate your analysis and execution — and you have the judgment to know when to trust the output and when to pressure-test it.
- Completed Bachelor’s Degree.
Responsibilities
- Conduct business-critical analyses--and act on them. You have a natural curiosity to leverage data to solve problems and identify opportunities. Most importantly, you are able to translate these insights into your own actionable experiments and initiatives.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to stand-up and implement new initiatives. In a large and fast-growing business, it takes a village to build needle-moving campaigns. You’re keen to build relationships and mobilize teams across the business--from Sales to Marketing to Product to Analytics.
- Build for the long-term. You’re a strategic thinker who is able to see the big picture, set key business goals and milestones, and then work relentlessly to realize the vision.
