Senior Associate, Marketplace Audience Strategy & Operations

About the role

The Senior Associate, Marketplace Audience Strategy & Operations role is for truth seekers who enjoy getting scrappy while examining data, creatively problem-solving on a daily basis, driving insights on business performance trends, using AI to drive efficiency, and working across a cross-functional organization to bring strategies to life. You will directly support new Audience penetration for DoorDash’s largest business unit.

On a typical day, you will dive into data to explain performance at the lowest level of detail, broker and manage external ecosystem partnerships, think through how to solve blockers to performance at individual College campuses, work with cross-functional teams to build reporting and performance updates for senior leadership, think up new ideas and translate them into an actionable test or new reporting mechanism, and drive the creation of strategic plans that drive execution throughout the business.

This position operates in a hybrid model, with some time in-office and some time remote, offering flexibility.

• Collaborate - Work cross-functionally with teams across DoorDash to understand, report, and drive business performance
• Strategize - Support the creation of critical strategic plans that serve as a roadmap for execution throughout the year

Requirements

• 3+ years of work experience in strategy, operations, planning, or other related areas
• Analytical – You enjoy diving deep into data and feel comfortable translating insights into tangible actions. You use AI tools (e.g., Cursor) to improve analytics tooling
• Action-oriented – You have a bias toward action, are comfortable with ambiguity, and thrive in a fast-paced, constantly changing work environment
• Creative – You love thinking about new problems and avoid defaulting to "this is how it's always been done"
• Collaborative – You are an excellent communicator, eager to build relationships with teammates and cross-functional partners, and lead with empathy while holding partners accountable for key deliverables
