DoorDash is looking for top talent to play a pivotal role in building our new verticals business! This is an exciting opportunity to create something great together and be a part of a global startup changing how local economies grow.

  • Master our service offerings — address merchant issues by solving problems and applying product knowledge to win deals
  • Lead complex negotiations to structure industry-leading and mutually beneficial economic terms
  • Accelerate a highly organized sales cycle with the goal of closing deals within a few weeks
  • Collaborate cross functionally — work with our Senior Sales Managers, Partner Management, as well central functions to extract the most value possible from our top accounts

We’re excited about you because you…

  • Embody DoorDash values
  • Demonstrate work-related skill needed for the role
  • Solve problems with your solutions-oriented mindset
  • Take initiative and focus on outcomes
  • Communicate clearly and listen to understand
  • Solicit feedback to welcome personal change and share constructive feedback
