Senior Associate, Strategy & Operations, DoorDash for Business

DoorDash for Business is building the premier corporate dining and benefits platform—helping companies of all sizes feed their teams through industry-leading products and meal programs. Our mission is to become the go-to solution for executives, administrators, and employees who need seamless, high-quality food programs at work. We move fast, operate with an ownership mindset, and are growing new product lines to better serve our corporate customers.

As a Senior Associate on the DoorDash for Business Catering team, you will develop the go-to-market strategy and onboarding experience for catering customers and merchant partners. You'll work at the intersection of strategy, operations, and cross-functional partnerships—building the playbooks, processes, and analytical foundations that support growing our new catering product lines.

This role is ideal for someone who is energized by building from the ground up, comfortable operating with ambiguity, and excited to shape how two high-priority product lines grow.
