Associate Manager, Marketplace Strategy & Operations - Restaurant Growth

About the Team

Our US Marketplace Strategy & Operations team is responsible for building, scaling and improving the way in which we provide Restaurant delivery. We build our restaurant selection, test 0 to 1 products to give merchants more opportunity to delight their consumers, and optimize ways to improve our marketplace to increase the return on investment our partners gain from partnering with DoorDash. This team focuses on all things Restaurants ranging from selection, to merchandising, to consumer strategy, to leveraging our logistics network in new ways, and more.

About the Role

We are seeking an Associate Manager to join our Marketplace Strategy & Operations team, with a focus on Restaurant Growth. This team is dedicated to growing our restaurant marketplace by launching new selection, enhancing in-app merchandising, helping negotiate new merchant partnerships, and commercializing products that help our restaurant partners grow their businesses on DoorDash. In this role, you will define and execute DoorDash's restaurant strategy, creating sustainable value for restaurants, consumers, and Dashers while unlocking incremental marketplace revenue.

The ideal candidate will possess a growth mindset, strong analytical skills, and a deep sense of ownership. If you're excited about launching 0 to 1 projects, solving customer challenges, working in fast-paced environments, and managing a marketplace business line with broad impact, this role is for you.

We operate in a hybrid model, balancing in-person collaboration with remote work.

Responsibilities

• Have Ownership. You'll own visible goals that drive both top-line and bottom-line performance of our core marketplace business.
• Collaborate. You'll work in a highly cross-functional environment with teams like Product, Analytics, Finance, Marketing, Sales, and more.
• Strategize. You'll bring new products and strategies to market, integrating new value propositions into our restaurant ecosystem.
• Operate. You'll become an expert on running a sustainable marketplace business, creating value for merchants, Dashers, and consumers alike.

What We're Looking For

• 4-6+ years of experience in a problem-solving role (consulting, tech, banking).
• An extreme sense of ownership — you never shy away from tackling ambiguous problems and can motivate teammates to go above and beyond.
• Ability to solve problems from first principles and resist "this is how it's always been done" thinking.
• Ability to thrive with a diverse set of responsibilities and love working across teams and disciplines.
• Strong analytical skills — you let data win arguments and are comfortable pulling your own data in SQL and modeling in Excel.
• Experience managing stakeholders across diverse audiences, from front-line doers to senior executives.
