About the Role

Drive is the fastest growing part of DoorDash, and the Drive Restaurants business still has a ton of room to grow. Clients with existing delivery fleets represent a significant strategic opportunity to the business. As an Associate Manager for DoorDash Drive's Strategy & Operations team, you will play a critical role in driving our growth and success. As a direct owner of this segment, you will be critical in helping us to build and execute on our growth strategy across some of the largest and most strategic clients to help us launch and scale our partnerships: understanding their needs, developing products, and partnering cross-functionally to bring solutions forward.

The ideal candidate for this role should be a self-starter with an entrepreneurial mindset, able to take ownership and create plans from scratch, and drive execution while obtaining cross-functional buy-in to achieve DoorDash Drive's strategic goals.
