About the Role

This Senior Manager will be part of the Consumer Growth team at DoorDash, leading our Notifications Data Science team.

The types of problems this leader will tackle range from driving greater consumer reachability, to delivering relevant content to the right consumer at the right time, to thinking about the right channels to communicate with our users (push, email, SMS, in-app), to leveraging Generative AI to power recommendations and more. This leader will work closely with the other Notifications cross-functional leads, their DS team, and partners across DoorDash to shape our Notifications roadmap & platform capabilities through data-driven insights, experimentation analyses, opportunity sizing, and more.
