DoorDash is looking for a strong individual contributor within Sales Strategy - Sales Planning & Incentives, to execute top company business objectives and help define our sales strategy and planning roadmap.
Your responsibilities will range from strategic (designing quotas and incentives aligned to the company's goals and strategy, integrating new products into sales GTM strategy and building consensus among sales leadership) to operational (forecasting, designing compensation plans, driving plan implementation and ensuring key metrics can be communicated, tracked and commissions calculated). You will bring a strategic mindset and deliver critical insights using analytical and technical support to the successful administration of sales incentive programs globally while proactively building partnerships, promoting open dialogue and creative insights expertise to issues in real time.

- Create compelling and accurate visualization reports that track sales commissions while providing insights into business performance
- Focus on improving standardization and automation of all processes to do with quota, incentive design and attainment/commissions tracking
- Become the subject matter expert on sales data, sales incentives, while also gaining a comprehensive understanding of the sales process and drivers for each business unit we support

- You’re a problem solver – You can independently translate high-level goals into actionable plans
- You are a proven user and explorer of AI tooling to drive efficiency and improved processes; Experience building in AI tooling (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) and ship real automation that eliminates manual work, closes visibility gaps, and accelerates decision-making across the business.
- You think in systems, not features. You treat every broken process as a build opportunity and every data gap as a use case waiting to be deployed.
