You will own a portfolio of projects aimed at growing the core Marketplace business, working closely with DoorDash’s product, marketing, finance, and analytics teams. You’ll have the opportunity to help grow strategic markets, identify new growth bets, incubate 0‑1 experiments, and execute on a roadmap to drive growth.

- Experiment: turn strategies into operational experiments, generate measurable outcomes, and shape implementation plans.

- Ability to think at both detailed and strategic levels, getting into the weeds while also operating at a high‑level view.
