Associate, Commerce Platform Logistics

About The Team

DoorDash’s Commerce Platform powers merchants with the tools they need to grow and operate their businesses—both in-store and online. Drive On-Demand is a key component of this platform, providing white-label fulfillment solutions for merchants across verticals such as restaurants, grocers, and retailers. As part of the Commerce Platform Logistics team, we own cost and quality for the Core Drive business—ensuring that DoorDash Commerce Platform is the most reliable way for merchants to reach their customers through their first-party channels. This means improving fulfillment quality, reducing operating costs, and building scalable solutions to enhance customer and merchant experiences.

About The Role

At DoorDash, we believe that the reliability and quality of our service is our competitive advantage, and we are looking for a leader who is passionate about building a seamless delivery experience for consumers and merchants. As an Associate, Commerce Platform Logistics, you will play a key role in analyzing, tracking, and improving delivery quality, partnering with cross-functional teams to identify trends, scope impactful initiatives, and support the execution of quality improvement strategies. Your work will be both strategic and deeply operational.

• One day, you might be sizing the impact of key product initiatives to support long-term quality improvements.
• The next day, you could be deep-diving into customer satisfaction (CSAT) data to uncover the root causes of customer pain points and leading an experiment to drive real-world improvements.

What You’ll Do

• Track and analyze cost and quality metrics across strategic merchants, conducting deep-dives to identify key drivers of quality defects and savings opportunities.
• Support the development of internal reporting tools to measure and monitor quality improvement efforts.
• Aid in structuring and executing operational tests to identify solutions for reducing defects like lateness or in-store wait times.
• Partner with Logistics, Analytics, and Product teams to scope and assess initiatives that can improve the efficiency and quality of the logistics system.
• Engage with cross-functional teams to support initiatives that enhance merchant and customer experience.

Qualifications

• You have strong analytical skills and can use data to identify trends, uncover root causes, and drive informed decision-making.
• You are a strong problem solver and can break down complex problems into actionable steps.
• You thrive in a cross-functional environment and are comfortable working with Product, Engineering, Analytics, and Operations teams.
• You are highly detail-oriented and have a strong ability to organize, track, and analyze performance data.
• You have a bias for action and can operate effectively in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
• You are comfortable working with data—SQL experience is a plus but not required.
• You have 1-3 years of relevant experience in high-growth environments.
• You have a Bachelor’s degree.

What We Offer

• Compensation: Starting pay falls within the $74,800—$110,000 USD range, determined based on job-related factors including, but not limited to, skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions.
• Benefits: Comprehensive benefits package including a 401(k) plan with employer matching, 16 weeks of paid parental leave, wellness benefits, commuter benefits match, paid time off and paid sick leave, medical, dental, and vision benefits, 11 paid holidays, disability and basic life insurance, family-forming assistance, and a mental health program.

Paid Time Off

• Salaried roles: flexible paid time off/vacation, plus 80 hours of paid sick time per year.
• Hourly roles: vacation accrued at about 1 hour for every 25.97 hours worked (e.g. about 6.7 hours/month if working 40 hours/week; about 3.4 hours/month if working 20 hours/week), and paid sick time accrued at 1 hour for every 30 hours worked (e.g. about 5.8 hours/month if working 40 hours/week; about 2.9 hours/month if working 20 hours/week).
