About The Position

We’re looking for an outside sales executive to join our team as a Franchise Strategic Account Development Executive. In this role, you’ll connect existing franchise merchant partners with new and powerful tools across DoorDash Marketplace, our flagship suite of products that helps merchants get discovered, drive orders, optimize operations, and grow sustainably.

You will ensure sustained success and increased sales across your book of business. You will report to the Manager of Strategic Account Development in our Outside Sales organization. Historical performance, including but not limited to attainment and optimization, will be considered during the selection process.
