The posting, as DoorDash wrote it

About the Team

The New Verticals team is building the future of local commerce—by redefining how people access everyday essentials and by expanding the frontiers of what’s possible on DoorDash. Since launching in 2020, we’ve built and scaled high-performing operations across Grocery, Convenience, Alcohol, and Retail and we’re just getting started.

DoorDash Grocery is where business builders, product thinkers, and operators come to learn how to 10x impact. We serve millions of consumers, Dashers, and local businesses. We work on zero-to-one bets, turn insights into impact fast, experiment at a rapid pace, and use AI not just to automate but to invent. If you want to learn how to build something enduring, and you want your fingerprints on the next generation of local commerce, this is the place to do it.

About the Role

As we continue to accelerate our Grocery business, we’re looking to hire an Associate to lead Affordability & Revenue on the Grocery P&L team.
