Senior Manager, DashMart - Growth Strategy & Operations

Senior Manager, DashMart - Growth Strategy & Operations at DoorDash Essentials, LLC

About the Team

We're looking for someone to help scale DoorDash's next billion dollar business, DashMart. The DashMart team is focused on building a new type of convenience store, offering household essentials, groceries and local restaurant favorites to our customers' doorsteps.

About the Role

As the Sr. Manager leading our DashMart Growth Strategy & Operations team, you will be responsible for defining, executing, and optimizing growth initiatives that provide customers with a seamless in-app experience and drive sustained order volume. You will own the end-to-end Growth strategy for our Core DashMart business; including everything from weekly volume reporting and deep-diving analyses to long-range strategic planning. Your leadership will span key levers including merchandising, promotions, shopping experience (ShopEx), and go-to-market (GTM) initiatives.

As a people leader, you will directly lead the DashMart Growth team. You will be responsible for translating high-level company objectives into an actionable roadmap, driving accountability, and ensuring your team's outputs deliver measurable customer impact. This role requires deep cross-functional partnership with Product, Category Management, and Operations to bring growth strategy to life. You will report to the Director, New Business Verticals and will be the primary owner of DashMart's volume goals, forecasting, and long-range planning. This is a hybrid role, with a blend of in-office and remote work.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Build. You’ll have your fingerprints all over DoorDash’s New Verticals business, across grocery, convenience, retail, alcohol and more. You’ll do whatever it takes to launch, get 1% better every day, and scale something completely new. This means everything from high-level strategy to nitty-gritty operational details.
• Own the Core Growth Strategy: You will have end-to-end ownership of the Core DashMart growth plan, directly shaping the strategy that drives our volume goals.
• Drive High-Impact Initiatives: You will spearhead critical, cross-functional growth initiatives, partnering with Product, Category Management, Local Operations, and other key teams to bring strategic projects from concept to launch.
• Master the Levers of Growth: You will develop and deploy comprehensive strategies across merchandising, promotions, CRM, and shopping experience (ShopEx) to acquire, engage, and retain customers.
• Translate Data into Action: You will oversee weekly volume reporting and re-forecasting, analyze customer trends, and conduct deep dives to uncover the key drivers of growth and inform future planning.
• Build for the Future: You will be responsible for the long-range planning for DashMart growth, ensuring your team’s roadmap is tightly aligned with ambitious, company-wide goals.

We’re excited about you because…

• 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 don’t hesitate to get in the weeds and operate at the lowest level of detail, but you’re just as comfortable thinking long-term and inspiring a team. No job is beneath you.
• You’re unafraid of ambiguity. Rapid change and learning is exciting to you, and you thrive in ambiguous, startup environments
• You’re analytical. You let data win arguments, and you’re comfortable pulling your own data in SQL or modeling in Excel.
• You are a leader. You have 2+ years of experience managing high-performing teams.
• You have 8-10+ years of experience. You’ve succeeded in high-performance cultures (whether in tech, operations, strategy, consulting, banking, or a related experience).
• You have completed your BS/BA Degree.
