Associate Manager, New Verticals - Consumer Pricing & Affordability

About the Team

New Verticals launched in 2020 to take the DoorDash marketplace beyond restaurants: it now spans 100,000+ grocery, convenience, alcohol, retail, and DashMart stores and has made DoorDash the #1 third-party marketplace for grocery and retail in the US. Within New Verticals, the Consumer Strategy & Operations team focuses on building consumer growth levers through many different outlets. The Pricing & Affordability team is redefining what value means in delivery. Our mission is to make DoorDash the smartest, most affordable place to shop.

Responsibilities

As an Associate Manager, you'll be the core owner behind our pricing strategy and how to use pricing as a growth lever with a focus on fee structure and affordability. Working closely with Finance, Analytics, and Product, you'll build pricing models, forecast consumer and financial impacts, design A/B tests, and launch new fee structures. It's a high-visibility seat at the intersection of strategy, operations, and finance - your analyses will inform decisions that reach millions of customers.

• Analyze: Run SQL queries and build Excel models to quantify the consumer, operational, and financial tradeoffs of fee changes, leveraging AI tools like Claude & Cursor to automate and move faster.
• Build with AI: You'll use AI tools to automate manual processes, build new prototypes and develop product visions.
• Forecast: Partner with Finance to project how pricing decisions will play out, and track actuals against those projections once programs are live.
• Experiment: Work with Analytics to design A/B tests across markets and verticals, and translate the results into crisp read-outs and recommendations for senior leadership.
• Operate and Collaborate: Own the metrics and dashboards for your programs, sharing with partners across the New Verticals organization.

Requirements

• 4-6+ years of success in highly analytical roles: investment banking, corporate FP&A, management consulting, corporate strategy, or business operations.
• Energized by AI tools — and you actively experiment with them.
• Comfortable with a role whose scope will continue to shift as AI becomes more capable, and you see that as an opportunity rather than a threat.
• Enjoy ambiguity: You break messy, open-ended problems down from first principles and turn them into clear plans, taking responsibility for moving things forward.
• Analytical: You thrive on analytical tasks, building models and forecasts from scratch.
• Completed Bachelor's Degree, MBA a plus.
