Manager, Restaurant Strategy & Operations Team

Our Marketplace Strategy & Operations team is responsible for building, scaling and improving the way in which we provide Restaurant delivery. We build our restaurant selection, test 0 → 1 products to give merchants more opportunity to delight their consumers, and optimize ways to improve our marketplace to increase the return on investment our partners gain from partnering with DoorDash. This team focuses on all things Restaurants ranging from selection, to merchandising, to consumer strategy, to leveraging our logistics network in new ways, to so much more! 

We are hiring a Manager to join the Meal Box team within Restaurants Strategy & Operations. In this role, you’ll act as a General Manager for live markets, owning performance, execution, and iteration across merchant relationships and meal quality. You’ll problem-solve how we scale hands-on merchant management into repeatable processes, lead a team of project managers, and identify new opportunities to unlock growth and efficiency as the program expands. 

Meal Box is DoorDash’s most ambitious bet in the restaurant space–a bold new way to help customers replace cooking with craveable, high-quality meals at unbeatable value. We partner with standout restaurants in every neighborhood to co-create curated, filling meals that customers love and return to daily. With early success in multiple cities, we’re unlocking a category that has the potential to transform consumer behavior at scale. At full penetration in key markets, this is a multi-billion dollar opportunity.

We operate in a hybrid model, so we spend some time in person and some time working remotely. You'll be expected to manage a team of project managers.
