Associate Manager, Indirect Tax Audit Analytics

Role Description

DoorDash is looking for a hands-on Associate Manager, Indirect Tax Audit Analytics to join our growing Tax Controversy team. The Tax Controversy team serves DoorDash by producing excellent controversy outcomes, providing timely and accurate information on material risks to the business, and improving the tax team with actionable feedback from audits.

This role is the Tax Controversy team's data and analytics expert. Fundamentally, you will be a master of answering audit questions with data — whether those questions come directly from a state or local tax auditor or internally as we gauge our risk on an issue.

• Turn large, complex transactional datasets into clear, persuasive, well-documented answers.
• Become fluent in the sales and use tax (and gross receipts tax) issues at the center of our audits.
• Be the primary interface with the Tax Tech team and lead in applying modern AI tooling to controversy work.
• Roll up your sleeves on whatever the team needs — from a one-off auditor request to a multi-month data project.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience with state and local tax compliance, audits, or controversy.
• Passion for finding answers in data.
• Thorough understanding of sales and use taxes, including marketplace facilitator laws.
• Ability to critically analyze large transactional datasets and present findings clearly.
• Fluency with Microsoft Excel and competence with Alteryx.
• Comfortable working with a tax technology or data engineering team.
• Enthusiastic user of modern AI tools (e.g., Claude) in a professional context.
• Strong communication skills and ability to manage multiple workstreams.
• Bachelor's degree or higher.
• Experience in a high-growth technology, marketplace, or e-commerce company (preferred).
• Direct experience working with state and local tax auditors (preferred).

Requirements

• Ability to critically analyze large transactional datasets.
• Experience with U.S. gross receipts taxes is a strong plus.
• Ability to communicate clearly and concisely.
• Strong moral compass and compassion for others.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package including a 401(k) plan with employer matching.
• 16 weeks of paid parental leave.
• Wellness benefits and commuter benefits match.
• Paid time off and paid sick leave in compliance with applicable laws.
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits.
• 11 paid holidays, disability and basic life insurance.
• Family-forming assistance and mental health program.
