Description
About the Team
The New Business Strategy & Operations team is on the frontlines of DoorDash’s growth, helping identify and accelerate new opportunities to scale. We are a team of owners, responsible for taking on and solving critical problems as they arise, and pushing the business forward into new frontiers.
About the Role
You will lead frontier efforts across some of our newest and most ambitious emerging business lines. In this role, you will own end-to-end strategy and operational execution, helping take ideas from our R&D and 0-to-1 teams and scale them across the DoorDash ecosystem. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role and no problem is too big or small to roll up your sleeves and jump into. You will work cross-functionally with R&D, product, finance, marketing, and business development teams to turn ambitious goals into high-impact results.
You will report into the VP of New Business Strategy & Operations.
You're excited about this opportunity because you will…
- Invent the future of local commerce.
- Own new business opportunities from 0-to-1 and 1-to-100.
- Drive “visible from space” impact that takes DoorDash to new heights.
- Operate as a hands-on owner leveraging AI as a force multiplier.
- Work with a team of all-star operators.
- Partner closely with cross-functional teams and external partners to bring new businesses to market.
- Identify and solve the highest-leverage new problems to grow DoorDash.
We're excited about you because…
- 10+ years of relevant experience, ideally with startup and/or founder experience.
- AI-native problem solver – you’re an early, heavy adopter of AI tools and use them to create clarity and focus in complex and ambiguous problem spaces.
- Track record of impact – you’ve been in the trenches and have a proven track record of driving significant, company-wide impact.
- Bias to action and agility – you move quickly and thrive in a fast-paced environment. No job is beneath you and you lead from the front.
- Clarity of thought – you can articulate a clear vision to cross-functional partners.
- Skilled executive management and communication, especially at managing up and across DoorDash and going toe to toe with our most senior leaders.
- Strong leadership and maturity to build (attract, hire, retain) and scale a world-class organization.
We expect this position to be filled by 8/24/26.

About DoorDash
At DoorDash, our mission to empower local economies shapes how our team members move quickly, learn, and reiterate in order to make impactful decisions that display empathy for our range of users—from Dashers to merchant partners to consumers. We are a technology and logistics company that started by enabling door-to-door delivery, and we are looking for team members who can help us go from a company that is known as the place you order food to a company that people turn to for any and all goods.
DoorDash is growing rapidly and changing constantly, which gives our team members the opportunity to share their unique perspectives, solve new challenges, and own their careers. We're committed to supporting employees’ happiness, healthiness, and overall well-being by providing comprehensive benefits and perks including premium healthcare, wellness expense reimbursement, paid parental leave and more.
Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
We’re committed to growing and empowering a more inclusive community within our company, industry, and cities. That’s why we hire and cultivate diverse teams of people from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We believe that true innovation happens when everyone has room at the table and the tools, resources, and opportunity to excel.
Statement of Non-Discrimination: In keeping with our beliefs and goals, no employee or applicant will face discrimination or harassment based on: race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, age, gender, marital/domestic partner status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability status, or veteran status. Above and beyond discrimination and harassment based on “protected categories,” we also strive to prevent other subtler forms of inappropriate behavior (i.e., stereotyping) from ever gaining a foothold in our office. Whether blatant or hidden, barriers to success have no place at DoorDash. We value a diverse workforce – people who identify as women, non-binary or gender non-conforming, LGBTQIA+, American Indian or Native Alaskan, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latinx, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, differently-abled, caretakers and parents, and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply. Thank you to the Level Playing Field Institute for this statement of non-discrimination.
Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, Los Angeles Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance, and any other state or local hiring regulations, we will consider for employment any qualified applicant, including those with arrest and conviction records, in a manner consistent with the applicable regulation.
If you need any accommodations, please inform your recruiting contact upon initial connection.
