About the Team
DoorDash's mission is to grow and empower local economies. By building intelligent, last-mile delivery technology for local cities, DoorDash connects people with the local businesses they care about – helping grow business and the communities that support those businesses.
About the Role
We’re looking for a business-savvy operator with a strong bias toward action to lead DoorDash Canada’s expansion and marketplace performance. As the national expansion lead, you’ll blend strategic thinking with operational excellence to identify growth opportunities, build strong internal partnerships, and improve customer and merchant experiences across the country.
This role requires a proactive self-starter who thrives at the intersection of data, process management, and execution. Whether analyzing performance metrics for a new launch or engaging with cross-functional partners, you’ll uncover ways to improve market performance. Expansion is core to DoorDash Canada's growth, and we need someone who can apply best practices and right-size them for local geographies to ensure we are building a lasting product for our customers.
We’re seeking someone who’s data-driven, a hands-on operator, relationship-oriented, and eager to make a tangible impact by positioning DoorDash as Canada's top platform.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…
- Own and execute the Canada expansion strategy: Build and execute a national roadmap focused on increasing our footprint while ensuring launch markets perform to expectations through rigorous marketplace management.
- Tactically run end-to-end execution: Lead the expansion lifecycle from initial strategy and buy-in through to execution, ensuring every launch is set up for long-term success.
- Right-size best practices: Apply proven operational frameworks while localizing strategies based on the specific marketplace dynamics of diverse Canadian cities.
- Lead cross-functional collaboration: Act as the connective tissue between the expansion team and DoorDash’s commercial units, surfacing insights and co-developing strategies that support national growth.
- Build strong internal relationships: Partner effectively with stakeholders across Dasher, Sales, Merchant, and Marketing teams to ensure a unified approach to marketplace health.
- Act like an Owner: Take full ownership of the success of our growth markets, with the autonomy to test, iterate, and scale what works across the country
We’re excited about you because you have…
- Are a builder and connector: You see opportunities where others see roadblocks. You’re energized by building systems from the ground up and forming lasting relationships along the way
- Have an operational mindset: You understand how to identify, scope, and execute high-impact initiatives, and you know how to align internal stakeholders to get things done.
- Thrive in ambiguity and autonomy: You’re comfortable setting your own direction, testing and learning as you go, and staying laser-focused on outcomes.
- Are operationally sharp and analytically driven: You turn insights into action and know how to measure and report on impact in a fast-moving environment.
Qualifications
- 4+ years of experience in business development, consulting, strategy, startups, or operations
- Demonstrated experience working cross-functionally with commercial teams
- Proven ability to identify growth opportunities and lead strategic initiatives from conception to execution
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to influence across various stakeholders and levels of the organization
- Proficient in Excel/Google Sheets and SQL; comfortable making decisions grounded in data
