About this role
About the Team
DoorDash's Protective Services function safeguards executives, their families, and residences through executive protection, residential security, threat management, and secure transportation across a three-brand global enterprise. The team operates 24/7 and is built on the principle that protection starts before an incident, not after. The people who do this work well combine operational discipline with personal composure, take ownership of outcomes rather than tasks, and represent the program in every interaction with the principal population.

Personnel must be capable of managing incidents and serving as first responders on scene. Operations regularly involve extended duty periods, irregular schedules, and short-notice deployments. Potential travel up to 25% of the time.
