Auckland, New Zealand

About the Team

DoorDash is looking for top talent to play a key role in growing our New Zealand business. This is a rare opportunity to join a dynamic, fast-paced team at the early stages, and shape the future of the on-demand economy in New Zealand.

Strategy & Operations builds the future for Consumers, Merchants, and Dashers on the DoorDash platform, and is ultimately responsible for the growth of our business.

About the Role

Our best Associates are truth seekers who enjoy solving difficult problems, working across the team, and effecting change every day. They are generalists who combine business context and analysis to unpack a problem, define a solution from first-principles, and roll up their sleeves to get things done.

On a given day, you may define the value of a new initiative, run and refine experiments to drive growth, dive into data to explain market performance at the lowest level of detail, build tools that allow teams to scale their work 10x, and work side-by-side with other teams to develop our future product.

You will report into the General Manager of New Zealand on our Strategy & Operations team. This role will be hybrid with some time in-office and some time remote.
