About The Team

The Inside Account Management team is part of DoorDash’s SMB account management engine. We are dedicated to the retention, satisfaction, and growth of 8,500+ high-impact restaurant partners.

About The Role

As a Merchant Success Manager (MSM), you will play a critical role in supporting and growing DoorDash’s SMB restaurant partners.

You’ll be accountable for hitting weekly and quarterly KPIs — including high-volume outbound activity (dials, talk time), strategic merchant calls, QBR delivery, and results tied to revenue, operational metrics, ads/promo adoption, and fair pricing conversations. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys fast-paced, high-volume merchant engagement, uses data to drive decisions, and feels energized by work that blends sales, account management, and portfolio-level strategy.
