Associate Manager, Strategy & Operations - Dasher & Logistics

About the Team

The Dasher & Logistics team ensures every delivery is completed with speed, accuracy, and a positive experience for consumers, merchants, and Dashers. We own the health of our delivery marketplace — including cost, quality, efficiency, fulfillment, and sustainable growth.

Within this organization, the Canada team owns end-to-end marketplace performance for the country. We partner closely with Product, Engineering, Finance, Analytics, Marketing, and Operations to operate and improve one of DoorDash’s most dynamic and complex markets.

About the Role

We're hiring an Associate Manager, Strategy & Operations to help manage Dasher supply and delivery quality across Canadian markets. This role sits at the intersection of operational execution and marketplace health, and is accountable for ensuring the right number of quality Dashers are available to meet demand reliably across geographies and conditions.

You will translate company and regional goals into clear supply strategies, balancing Dasher acquisition, mobilization, and retention to maintain a healthy and high-performing supply base. You will manage key supply levers, including onboarding pipelines, retention programs, and regional coverage optimization. Your work will require a sharp understanding of what drives Dasher behavior and engagement, and how to design programs that attract and retain quality Dashers at the right time and place.

Success in this role means building and managing supply frameworks that consistently meet demand while maintaining strong delivery quality, even as market conditions, seasonality, and external factors shift. You will lead structured analyses to identify supply gaps, diagnose root causes, and drive durable improvements in coverage and quality across geographies.

You will report into a Manager of Strategy & Operations. We expect this role to be hybrid with some time in-office and some time remote.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Lead rigorous, data-driven analyses to measure supply performance, model the impact of program changes, and surface clear recommendations for senior stakeholders
• Partner cross-functionally with Product, Finance, Analytics, Legal, and Operations to align on supply strategy and deliver shared outcomes
• Make thoughtful tradeoff decisions between supply adequacy, delivery quality, and cost to protect long-term marketplace health

We’re excited about you because…

• You have 5+ years of experience in strategy, operations, consulting, technology, finance, or a related field
• You have managed complex operational areas with accountability for quality and measurable outcomes
• You are highly analytical and comfortable using data and AI tools to diagnose issues, prioritize actions, and measure impact
