About the Team

DoorDash’s mission is to grow and empower local economies. By building intelligent, last-mile delivery technology for local cities, DoorDash connects people with the local businesses they care about, helping grow businesses and the communities that support them. To further this mission, we’re looking for an experienced paid media operator to join our Consumer Marketing team at a pivotal time for DoorDash Ads and paid co-marketing.

The Cx Ads Paid team plans, launches and measures paid media campaigns with brand and CPG partners, working alongside Ads Integrated Marketing, Sales, Partnerships and our agency partners. The team is growing, and this person will help shape how paid marketing operates as it scales.

About the Role

We’re looking for a strategic, decisive paid marketing leader to own Co-Marketing Paid Media strategy and operations in the US as it pertains to supporting Co-Marketing Merchant priorities. This role will support +20 strategic campaigns across $XXM covering CPG, Restaurant, and New Vertical industries. You will set the operating model, make the decisions that keep the campaign on track against launch timing, ROAS performance, and advertisers commitments. You will be the voice of Paid in cross-functional forums, arriving with data, a clear point of view and a recommendation, and you will lead agency and platform partners as the single accountable owner. This is your opportunity to influence and own a Paid marketing function as a lead, touching channel decision making and strategy with Director + visibility.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Own the end to end paid marketing operations, from intake and planning through launch, in-flight management and recap
• Make independent decisions on campaign operations and bring a clear recommendation to cross-functional discussion: For example channel mix, creative, and optimization strategies.
• Problem Solving: When there are unknowns, be the central driver to align on things like budgets, partnership commitments, and required approvals
• Lead agencies and platform partners such as our Media Agency, Meta and The Trade Desk, from brief to delivery
• Drive strategic projects end to end, including building channel playbooks, process revamps and the test-and-learn agenda
• Lead and develop a team of 2 (with opportunity to scale), delegating ownership of processes and planning capacity against the campaign calendar
• Must have experience interacting with AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) and the ability to learn new tools quickly.
• Leadership Communication Opportunity: Keep leadership and partners informed with proactive updates, early risk flags and escalations that come with a proposed solution
• Deliver recap reports and performance readouts with a clear narrative and benchmarks, ready for Marketing and Sales review

We’re excited about you because…
