Chicago, IL
Senior Manager, New Verticals - Shopper Experience
About The Team
New Verticals is a new, lean organization at DoorDash, building the future of local commerce by bringing new ways to delight our customers to market - beyond restaurants. The Shopping Experience team's mission is to connect every customer with the items they are looking for in an effortless and delightful way. Together with our Product partners, we obsess over building the future of local commerce by re-thinking the digital shopping experience and by ideating, experimenting and iterating on key pillars such as Search, Pricing, Recommendations, and Merchandising.
About The Role
You will oversee key functions of the shopping experience, beginning with driving strategy and partnering cross-functionally on product solutions to improve Pricing & Affordability across all of DoorDash’s non-restaurant merchants. Additionally, you will own broader business metrics, such as conversion, across the New Verticals organization. Your main goals will be to increase conversion alongside other measures of affordability. You will report to the Senior Manager, Shopping Experience on our Catalog, Selection & Shopping Experience team in our New Verticals organization. We are currently operating in a hybrid model, some time in-office and some time remote but it is quite flexible!
You're Excited About This Opportunity Because You Will…
At DoorDash, our mission to empower local economies shapes how our team members move quickly, learn, and reiterate in order to make impactful decisions that display empathy for our range of users—from Dashers to merchant partners to consumers. We are a technology and logistics company that started with door-to-door delivery, and we are looking for team members who can help us go from a company that is known for delivering food to a company that people turn to for any and all goods.
DoorDash is growing rapidly and changing constantly, which gives our team members the opportunity to share their unique perspectives, solve new challenges, and own their careers. We're committed to supporting employees’ happiness, healthiness, and overall well-being by providing comprehensive benefits and perks including premium healthcare, wellness expense reimbursement, paid parental leave and more.
Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
We’re committed to growing and empowering a more inclusive community within our company, industry, and cities. That’s why we hire and cultivate diverse teams of people from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We believe that true innovation happens when everyone has room at the table and the tools, resources, and opportunity to excel.

Above and beyond discrimination and harassment based on “protected categories,” we also strive to prevent other subtler forms of inappropriate behavior (i.e., stereotyping) from ever gaining a foothold in our office. Whether blatant or hidden, barriers to success have no place at DoorDash. We value a diverse workforce – people who identify as women, non-binary or gender non-conforming, LGBTQIA+, American Indian or Native Alaskan, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latinx, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, differently-abled, caretakers and parents, and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply. Thank you to the Level Playing Field Institute for this statement of non-discrimination.
