Supervisor, MXO Merchant Sentiment Specialist
DoorDash AustraliaMelbourne, Victoria, Australia · Posted TodayDescription
About the Team
Merchant Experience Operations (MXO) shapes the day-to-day experience for every restaurant and New Vertical partner on DoorDash. We guide merchants from onboarding through ongoing operations, delivering clarity, consistency, and trusted support at every step of the merchant lifecycle.
The Merchant Sentiment Specialist (MSS) team supports DoorDash’s highest-value, most sensitive merchant relationships. This team focuses on complex, high-impact issues that directly influence long-term trust, retention, and partnership health. As DoorDash continues to scale and evolve, MSS plays a critical role in moving the merchant experience from reactive support to proactive, white-glove partnership.
About the Role
As a Supervisor, Merchant Sentiment Specialist, you will lead a team of 15-17 Merchant Sentiment Specialists (MSS) spanning our Enterprise, Mid-Market, SMB, and Vendor Book cohorts. Your primary focus is people leadership, performance management, and quality oversight across the full team - with a deliberate depth difference by cohort: you’ll personally coach the Enterprise cohort through complex, high-sensitivity judgment calls and own their escalations directly, while partnering closely with the team’s Subject Matter Expert (SME) - who owns day-to-day product-knowledge coaching and escalations for the Mid-Market, SMB, and Vendor Book cohorts - to keep the broader team’s operational performance on track.
Reporting to the Manager, you will own 1:1s, performance, and PIPs for the full team; coach Specialists through complex judgment calls and escalations - personally for Enterprise, in partnership with the SME for the rest; and partner cross-functionally to resolve systemic issues impacting merchant sentiment. This role requires strong leadership presence, sound decision-making, and the ability to run both high-touch relationship coaching and wider-span operational management well - balancing empathy with operational rigor in an evolving environment.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…
