Senior Associate, Strategy & Operations - Commerce Platform Logistics - Delivery Cost

About The Team DoorDash’s Commerce Platform is one of the fastest‑growing segments in the company — distinct from our Marketplace business. Whereas Marketplace serves DoorDash’s own app customers, Commerce Platform powers merchant‑owned eCommerce channels by fulfilling orders directly for their customers (for example, a Petco.com order where Petco owns the checkout experience and DoorDash fulfills delivery). Within Commerce Platform, the Logistics team focuses on cost efficiency and sustainable growth across Retail Merchants with multi‑day service level agreements and Final Mile delivery in parcel networks. Our mission is to make efficiency a competitive advantage — reducing costs for merchants so they can grow, while ensuring high‑quality deliveries for customers and fair pay for Dashers.

About DoorDash At DoorDash, our mission to empower local economies shapes how our team members move quickly, learn, and reiterate in order to make impactful decisions that display empathy for our range of users — from Dashers to merchant partners to consumers. We are a technology and logistics company that started by enabling door‑to‑door delivery, and we are looking for team members who can help us go from a company that is known as the place you order food to a company that people turn to for any and all goods. Statement of Non‑Discrimination In keeping with our beliefs and goals, no employee or applicant will face discrimination or harassment based on race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, age, gender, marital/domestic partner status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability status, or veteran status. Above and beyond discrimination and harassment based on “protected categories,” we also strive to prevent other subtler forms of inappropriate behavior (i.e., stereotyping) from ever gaining a foothold in our office.
