Senior Associate, Strategy & Operations, DoorDash for Business (Merchant)

DoorDash for Business is building the premier corporate dining and benefits platform—helping companies of all sizes feed their teams through industry-leading products and meal programs. Our mission is to become the go-to solution for executives, administrators, and employees who need seamless, high-quality food programs at work. We move fast, operate with an ownership mindset, and are growing new product lines to better serve our corporate customers.

As a Strategy & Operations Senior Associate for DoorDash for Business, you'll be at the center of piloting and scaling product features that transform delivery quality, making sure every order arrives on time, accurate, properly labeled, and backed by strong options when something goes wrong. You'll shape the experience for clients, dashers, and merchants across the entire journey, not just one piece of it. This is a build-and-launch role: you'll partner cross-functionally to design testing frameworks and go-to-market plans, then turn insights from our core audiences into real product improvements. Expect to wear a lot of hats, from support and analytics to close partnership with product, often all in the same week.
