Director, Grocery & Retail Services

About the role

The New Verticals team is building the future of local commerce by expanding our product offerings on our marketplace platform. We launched in 2020 and have since then built world-class operations to delight our customers with access to Grocery, Convenience, Alcohol, and Retail delivery through our marketplace; this team is externalizing these capabilities to help merchants improve their owned ecommerce experiences outside of the DoorDash app. You will lead strategy and execution for a portfolio of new bets within our Merchant Services business. Some of these bets exist already, others are just ideas and prototypes for you to validate, stack rank, and drive to fruition. You will partner deeply with product, engineering, and design to develop a vision for the future of ecommerce as well as the tactical steps to building solutions that get us there. You will report into a Sr Director within our New Verticals organization and manage a team of direct & indirect reports. This is a hybrid role with a willingness to consider remote applicants.

You solve problems from first principles. You're excited to solve problems in innovative ways, and you resist "this is how it's always been done" thinking. You're equally comfortable operating at 10,000 feet and 1 foot.

You're unafraid of ambiguity. Rapid change and learning is exciting to you, and you thrive in ambiguous, startup environments. You are a leader. You have 5+ years of experience managing high-performing teams and 10+ years of experience. You have experience building, managing, and going to market with B2B software products.
