Sr. Associate, Strategy and Operations - Regulatory Readiness

DoorDash•San Francisco, NY

About The Position

The Regulatory Readiness team exists to make sure DoorDash can move into new regulatory environments — new laws, new jurisdictions, new rules governing how we operate — without getting caught flat-footed. We sit at the intersection of Legal, Compliance, Product, and Operations, translating regulatory requirements that are often vague or evolving into concrete operational plans: what needs to change, by when, and how we'll know it's actually working. When a new rule is announced, we're the team that turns "here's what the law says" into "here's what we're doing about it." You are a data-driven truth seeker and strategic operator. You're comfortable being handed a problem with no clean answer — ambiguous regulatory language, incomplete data, competing interpretations — and turning it into a clear recommendation. You move fast without cutting corners on the details that actually matter, and you know how to bring Legal, Engineering, Product, Design and Ops along with you rather than working around them. You will have the opportunity to influence and align across the company — partner with Engineering, Design, Product, Marketing, and Ops to turn a regulatory requirement into a shipped operational change and new user experience. Move at the pace regulatory deadlines demand, prioritizing ruthlessly and being able to pivot quickly and seamlessly while bringing your cross functional partners along for the ride. Own and build durable processes end to end, not just identify one-off fixes — the frameworks and monitoring you put in place should outlast the specific regulation that prompted them.
