  • Balance the interests of key stakeholders (internal Sales team, New Verticals merchant advertisers, and consumers), ensuring strong advertiser performance outcomes while protecting the consumer experience.
  • Drive strategy development and execution for net new sellable inventory, identifying the biggest untapped opportunities that can unblock ads supply and drive growth for DoorDash and advertisers across our NV merchants (grocery, convenience, alcohol, pets, and other emerging retail partners)

  • Problem Solve: You approach opportunities and challenges, whether expected or unexpected, from first principles. You use data to inform strategy and view roadblocks as exciting challenges.
  • Operate: You want to roll up your sleeves and aren't afraid to get to the lowest level of detail.
  • Collaborate: You have strong communication skills and are able to convey complex messages to multiple audiences. You build strong cross-functional relationships, and thrive at working across various teams to deliver results.
  • Enable: You love equipping other teams with what they need to be successful. You take feedback and put it into action.
