Staff Product Designer, Merchant Marketing
About The Position
In this role, you’ll join the Ads & Promos Design team — one of DoorDash’s fastest-growing businesses — owning end-to-end campaign experience design and shaping the strategic vision for our marketing tooling system. This platform powers both SMB and enterprise restaurants across DoorDash’s global markets and connects local businesses with over 40 million consumers globally. Your impact will span both team effectiveness and business growth. You’ll increase team velocity and autonomy by building reusable workflows, shared tools, and decision frameworks that enable designers to operate at a higher level with less coordination overhead. In parallel, you’ll drive measurable business outcomes by unlocking faster experimentation, shorter iteration cycles, and higher-quality execution across your team and adjacent teams. This role can be based in New York City, San Francisco, or Seattle and reports to the Design Manager for Ads & Promotions (Restaurant Experience Team). We follow a hybrid model: 1–2 days per week in a Design Hub, with the remainder remote.
