Strategic Account Development Executive - Marketplace

About the Team

On the Outside Account Development team, we expand on existing DoorDash partnerships while identifying opportunities for further engagement, growth, and performance on our platform. We learn more about each merchant’s business and growth goals and build a path to increased revenue, stronger operational performance, and long-term ROI — all while accommodating the diverse and rapidly evolving needs of our partners.

About the Role

We're looking for outside sales executives to join us as Strategic Account Development Executives. In this role, you’ll connect existing merchant partners with new and powerful tools across DoorDash Marketplace, our flagship suite of products that helps merchants get discovered, drive orders, optimize operations, and grow sustainably.

Responsibilities

• Ensure partnership terms make sense for both DoorDash and the merchant while driving adoption of high-impact Marketplace solutions — including menu optimization, promotions, Sponsored Listings, Offers, store page enhancements, and additional merchandising tools that improve conversion.
• Ensure sustained success and increased sales across your book of business.
• Report to the Manager of Strategic Account Development in our Outside Sales organization. Once our offices reopen, we expect this role to be flexible with some time in-office (1–2 days/week), in the field (up to 50%), and working from home.

Requirements

• You have 5+ years of sales experience, including at least 3+ years selling to an existing client base (upsell, cross-sell, promotions, expansions).
• You have 3+ years of B2B and SaaS sales experience.
• You have led an outside sales end-to-end cycle, ideally within a product-driven or marketplace environment.
• You align partners while managing project timelines and expectations, or bring related project management experience.
• You have strong data skills, including knowledge of Excel and experience creating data-backed sales narratives.
• You own client-facing conversations, influence stakeholders, and navigate complex negotiations confidently.
• Bonus: familiarity with online marketplaces, local commerce ecosystems, or merchant-facing tech platforms.
