About the Team

You'll be joining the International New Verticals team: a small but mighty group of passionate business development, marketing, strategy and operations professionals. We are trusted e-commerce advisors to some of the largest global retailers, helping them drive top-line growth on both the DoorDash marketplace, and their own channels. 

We support our merchant’s broader omnichannel strategy, helping them find new ways to acquire, engage with and retain customers. We also love helping our partners solve their operational issues at the lowest level of detail; no job is too big or too small.

Our team sits at the intersection of two key growth pillars for DoorDash: international markets and new business verticals, so we play a critical role in bolstering our leadership in every market in which we operate. 

You will report to an Enterprise Pod Lead who focuses either on Grocery, Convenience, Alcohol or Core Retail partners. We expect this role to be flexible with mostly remote work, some time in-office and occasional travel required. 

About the Role

We are looking for an Associate to support our growing New Verticals Partnerships team. You will work with our most strategic partners and our internal business teams to spearhead analytical deep dives to drive operational efficiencies, identify product gaps, and build business cases for internal and external partners. No two days are the same; you could be:

• analyzing operational metrics to identify trends and insights to advise a merchant, cross-functional partners, or both
• getting into the field to do a test delivery, 
• gathering insights on consumer behavior and shopping patterns, or 
• leading special projects to drive operational efficiency for your partners
• working with internal product teams to ensure we’re prioritizing the right features for our merchants, dashers & customers,
• project managing the roll out of new launches, particularly store expansions across the country, 
• designing marketing and promotional campaigns for new, returning or churned customers, 
• collaborating with internal stakeholders to build business reviews for your partner’s senior leadership,

Our New Verticals business is still in its infancy and it’s an exciting time to join us if you want to be part of helping us build a cutting edge retail e-commerce platform. This is a unique opportunity for you to build and own a new space in Canada. We are looking for an enterprising leader who can thrive in a fast paced, often ambiguous environment, while still being able to manage clients and prioritize across multiple projects.

We’re excited about you because you…

• Have 1-3 years of high-impact experience preferrably in a client-management role (examples include consulting, banking, account management, or marketing).
• Have strong analytical skills (Excel, GoogleSheets, SQL) with the ability to navigate through large datasets to derive core business insights that form your decision-making 
• Are a confident communicator with the ability to steer conversations (including difficult ones) and present business insights in a client-facing forum
• A proven ability to prioritize multiple projects, manage and meet deadlines and hit goals 
• An ownership mentality: you are excited to dive into problems (small or big) and are always looking for ways to improve
• Are a team player with the willingness to collaborate with cross-functional partners to experiment, potentially fail and quickly pivot to try new initiatives
• Need to know how things work and are not afraid to get under the hood; you’re not satisfied with a status quo answer that seems broken or inefficient
• Are a thoughtful, structured problem solver, who can breakdown and isolate key drivers
• Have a track record of ‘building stuff’; you like to propose, experiment and implement ideas to make processes more efficient. We’re writing the playbook for New Verticals, and you’re a co-author.
• Nice to haves: 
• High-growth startup experience
• Experience in the convenience, grocery, alcohol or retail industry
• Working knowledge of SQL, Salesforce, Tableau
• Bilingual (English and French)
