Associate Manager, Corporate Safety and Security

About The Team

The Global Safety and Security team advances DoorDash through the protection of people, property, operations, brand, and reputation. We manage safety and security risk and provide value across the business through technology, and a people-first approach. Our team strives to always be in front and there for our people anytime, anywhere.

About The Role

DoorDash is seeking an Associate Manager, Corporate Safety and Security to join our Global Safety and Security team. This role is based in Tempe, AZ and supports multiple centrally located offices, with regular travel required to assign sites to onboard and support team members, assess site conditions, and maintain strong operational presence. In this role, you will serve as a regional owner for site-level safety and security execution. You will directly manage FTE Lobby Agents, ensure consistent security coverage, and act as a trusted local decision-maker during incidents. The work is hands-on and operational, balancing day-to-day execution with clear communication, documentation, and coordination across partners.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a regional owner for site-level safety and security execution
• Directly manage and develop FTE Lobby Agents, including onboarding, coaching, performance management, and reinforcement of SOPs
• Maintain regular site presence through travel to assigned offices to build relationships, assess risk, and support operational consistency
• Coordinate with Workplace Experience and Global Operations Center on off-site corporate employee event security planning and execution
• Act as a local decision-maker during incidents, ensuring calm response, clear escalation, and strong written follow-through
• Identify gaps in site security posture through assessments and signal detection, and drive remediation with the right partners
• Translate global CSS standards and playbooks into practical, site-level execution without unnecessary complexity
• Build trust with cross-functional partners by showing up reliably, communicating clearly, and setting appropriate boundaries

Requirements

• 4-6+ years of experience in corporate safety, security operations, or a related field, with exposure to multi-site or regional environments
• Bring people leadership experience, including managing frontline teams, setting expectations, and enabling consistent execution
• Comfortable operating independently and making sound decisions in real-world, time-sensitive situations
• Have working knowledge of physical security operations, including access control, visitor management, and incident response
• Have foundational knowledge of occupational health and safety principles, including emergency action plan execution, OSHA compliance awareness, and life safety protocols at the site level
• Experience supporting or coordinating safety programs, including emergency response drills, safety culture initiatives, or incident investigations that go beyond security operations alone
• Familiarity with OSHA standards and basic regulatory compliance requirements for workplace environments, and can make those standards practical and accessible for non-safety audiences like lobby staff, facilities teams, or security officers
• Communicate clearly and calmly, especially in moments of uncertainty or escalation, and document decisions effectively
• Know how to partner cross-functionally with Workplace, HR, Real Estate, and other teams without blurring ownership
• Execution-oriented, with a bias toward action and accountability rather than over-engineering solutions
• Comfortable using data, basic metrics, and emerging tools including AI to improve visibility and operational effectiveness
• Take ownership of outcomes and follow through, even when paths are not fully defined

Qualifications

• Hold or are working toward a relevant safety credential such as OSHA 30-Hour General Industry, CPR/AED certification, or similar, and understand how those fundamentals support a safer workplace

Skills

• People leadership experience
• Independent decision-making skills
• Physical security operations expertise
• Occupational health and safety principles
• Emergency response planning
• Communication and documentation skills
• Data analysis and operational effectiveness
