Customer Success Manager

About The Team

DoorDash Commerce Platform is DoorDash’s first restaurant software-as-a-service business unit – offering a suite of products and services across online ordering, branded mobile apps, loyalty solutions, and more that enable merchants to reach customers through their own first-party channels. Our newly launched Commerce Platform Merchant Success Operations pod focuses on ensuring merchants have a seamless experience not only during onboarding and launch, but throughout their lifecycle with our platform. Our team strives to drive long-term success by helping merchants adopt our products, grow their business, and realize ongoing value. Within this pod, the Customer Success team plays a critical role in retention, adoption, and merchant growth. This team owns the post-launch experience, proactively working to ensure merchants are successful, engaged, and continuing to see value from our platform.

About The Role

The Customer Success Manager (CSM) is responsible for owning and driving the ongoing success of our small-to-medium-sized (SMB) merchants using DoorDash Commerce Platform products. This role is the primary point of contact post-launch, ensuring merchants adopt our products, achieve their goals, and continue to grow their business over time. The CSM acts as the merchants’ “quarterback” post-launch — proactively managing relationships, identifying risks, coordinating cross-functional teams, and driving outcomes that improve retention, adoption, and overall merchant satisfaction.

• Working closely with Onboarding, Sales, Support, and Product Teams to ensure merchants continue to succeed after launch

• Managing escalations and high-risk situations with a solutions-oriented mindset
