Associate, Dasher Tasks, Strategy & Operations

About the Team

• The Dasher Tasks team is expanding what it means to earn on DoorDash. We let Dashers do work far beyond delivery, from photographing a merchant's menu to assisting autonomous vehicles and collecting data. Adding these Tasks gives Dashers greater opportunities to earn and helps smooth Dashers’ earnings throughout the day.
• The work compounds across all three sides of our marketplace: new off-peak earning for millions of Dashers, real-world capacity and insight for businesses, and everyday convenience for customers.
• We’re on our way to building the next billion-dollar business at DoorDash, with more than 2 million tasks completed since 2025 and partners across retail, insurance, hospitality, and technology.

About the Role

• As an Associate, you’ll own a slice of Dasher Tasks end to end—sizing the opportunity, designing the operation, launching pilots, and scaling what works. Your focus will flex to where the business needs it most, including new task types, commercial pilots, or international market expansion opportunities.
• First 30 days: learn the business, metrics, and tooling, and shadow live operations. By 60 days: own a workstream or pilot and ship your first improvements. By 90 days: independently run a pilot or market and move a core metric.
• Expect ambiguity, shifting priorities, and few established playbooks. With these complications come outsized ownership, direct exposure to senior leaders, and the chance to shape a multi-billion-dollar new business from the ground up.
• You’ll report direction to the Manager on the Dasher Tasks within the Dasher and Logistics Organization.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Own end-to-end workstreams across Dasher Tasks, from first hypothesis and analysis through launching and scaling the operation.
• Turn messy, real-world data into decisions: pull your own data in SQL, model in Excel/Sheets, define the KPIs that matter, and leverage AI tools to move faster.
• Partner broadly with Product, Engineering, Analytics, and S&O leadership.
• Build the playbooks, SOPs, and processes that turn a scrappy pilot into a durable business, with your work reaching Dashers and customers within weeks, not quarters.

We’re excited about you because…

• You have 1–3 years of experience in strategy & operations, consulting, investment banking, analytics, program management, or a high-growth startup/ops environment, and you’ve owned projects end to end.
• You’re data-fluent and analytical: comfortable pulling data in SQL and modeling in Excel/Sheets to drive decisions, or able to ramp there quickly.
• You operate with an ownership mentality in ambiguity—structured, resourceful, biased to action, and willing to get into the weeds with a high bar for operational quality.
• You put AI to work to accelerate your analysis and execution.
