DoorDash DoorDash · Consumer · New York, NY · 412 Growth Marketing

DoorDash is hiring a Senior Associate for the Dasher Fleet Growth Strategy team. This role focuses on ensuring sufficient Dasher supply to meet demand by analyzing data, optimizing incentive programs, and managing the Dasher referrals channel. Responsibilities include driving business diagnostics, owning the referrals program (forecasting, incentive strategy, spend allocation), and cross-functional leadership. Requires 2+ years of experience in strategy, analytics, consulting, or related fields, with strong data analysis skills (SQL, Excel/Sheets) and experience with experiments.

What you'd actually do

  1. Drive Business Diagnostics & Market Insights: Investigate weekly performance variance and conduct deep, ad hoc analyses on acquisition, supply-demand balance, incentive efficiency, and market-level dynamics. This requires the ability to translate complex datasets into clear executive-ready narratives with actionable recommendations and proactively surface emerging risks and opportunities that may impact supply.
  2. Serve as the end-to-end owner of the Dasher referrals acquisition channel: Lead forecasting, incentive strategy, and weekly spend allocation. Proactively identify volatility, risks, or structural inefficiencies.
  3. Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner across Analytics, Product, Strategy & Ops, and Finance to align on targets, pacing, and roadmap priorities. Drive clarity and alignment on trade-offs to enable disciplined decision-making.
