What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Manager, Digital Ordering - Strategy & Operations position at DoorDash USA?
About the Team
DoorDash Digital Ordering is DoorDash’s first software-as-a-service business unit – offering a suite of services across online ordering, branded mobile apps, loyalty solutions, and more that enable merchants (restaurants, grocers, retailers, etc.) to reach customers through their own first-party channels.
The business is one of the fastest-growing segments within DoorDash, and yet is only scratching the surface of a generational opportunity to better serve hundreds of thousands of merchants across the Americas to help them grow their business and improve working lives in one of the country’s biggest industry sectors.
As a Strategy & Operations leader in this space, the Senior Manager will have the opportunity to help define and lead key strategic bets and initiatives to grow the business. You will work on both nascent, 0->1 bets and opportunities to scale our impact nationwide. Your work will be instrumental to helping transition DoorDash from a consumer marketplace to an industry-leading B2B SaaS company.
