About the Team

The mission of our Retention Marketing team is to build lasting relationships with our audiences — consumers, Dashers, and merchants — from the moment they engage with DoorDash. We do this by delivering personalized, cross-channel experiences that drive loyalty, strengthen engagement, and help each audience find the products and services most relevant to them.

The Dasher Retention team focuses on helping Dashers succeed on the platform and feel supported at every stage of their journey. We do this through targeted lifecycle communications that educate, activate, and re-engage Dashers, while aligning fleet health with business goals.
