About the Role

DoorDash is hiring an exceptional, business-minded negotiator to join our Legal team. We are seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented candidate to oversee the lifecycle of contracts across the organization. The ideal candidate will be responsible for drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and managing various types of contracts to ensure compliance with legal requirements, company policies, and business goals.  You’ll work on a wide variety of deal types, many of which enable DoorDash to open new routes to market.

We’re looking for an experienced contracts negotiator with a strong work ethic, excellent analytical and communication skills, who thrives in a fast paced environment. The ideal candidate will be creative and curious, is a self-starter who takes ownership over initiatives, and is hands-on taking into consideration the lowest level of detail. 

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Draft, negotiate and examine a broad range of customer-facing agreements, such as DoorDash & SevenRooms merchant agreements, SaaS agreements, as well as various ancillary agreements. 
• Assist in the creation of training and enablement documentation to drive efficient interaction between the Legal team and other departments.
• Support legal operations regarding contract lifecycle management and other tools, including creating approval workflows for access and tracking performance metrics.
• Partner with finance, deal desk, tax, privacy and security, and other internal stakeholder teams to ensure negotiated agreements are consistent with internal policies.
• Join a close-knit, caring team of outstanding professionals.

We’re excited about you because you…

• Have experience supporting contracts for a fast- paced sales organization. 
• Bring deep experience drafting and negotiating a large volume of contracts, and have demonstrated the ability to manage multiple contract deadlines
• Have a strong understanding of contract law, legal terminology.
• Have excellent negotiation and communication skills, as well as a high attention to detail and strong organizational abilities.
• Work autonomously and exercise sound judgment in a fast-paced environment.
• Have a proven ability to balance legal risk and business objectives.
• Proficiency with Contract Lifecycle Management systems and similar workflow tools preferred, but not required.
• Foster empathy, collaboration, and mutual respect in your practice, and you default toward assuming good intentions about others.
• Are curious, humble (no task is too big or too small), and—through it all—don’t take yourself too seriously.
• Are committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment and have prioritized participating in DEI initiatives in past roles.
• Hold a Bachelor's degree (JD or paralegal certification a plus).
• Bring a minimum of 7 years of experience in contract management, legal, or paralegal roles.
