About the Role

DoorDash is looking for an experienced Global Head of Policy Research, serving as our Head Economist, to lead our research function. In this role, you will analyze the role we play in local economies and the impact we drive for Dashers, merchants, and consumers — and shape how we share our insights externally. In this expansive role, you’ll lead a team that explores how the DoorDash platform drives economic activity around the world and shapes the broader policy conversation about the future of work and local commerce. 

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Lead our Global Policy Research function — setting this vision, defining the direction of our research, and driving execution of a high-impact research agenda. 
• Analyze our economic impact and how policy proposals affect our platform and the Dashers, merchants, and consumers who use it every day.

• Engage with academics, think tanks, and other thought leaders to create an academic foundation for proposed policies. 
• Coordinate closely with other members of the Public Policy & Communications Team, as well as the Analytics, Finance, Communications, and Strategy & Ops Teams. 
• Manage a team with global remit. 

We’re excited about you because…

• You have a PhD in Economics or a similar domain. 
• You have 10+ years of experience in economic research, data analytics, economic or management consulting, or a related quantitative role, with a strong track record of influencing senior stakeholders and communicating complex findings to non-technical audiences.
• You have expertise in SQL and statistical analysis (e.g. hypothesis testing, experimentation, regressions), familiarity with one or more analytics & visualization tools, and demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to scale and enhance research impact. 
• You have experience managing direct reports, juggling both technical and managerial tasks, including 1+1's, technical mentorship, and recruitment participation.

About the Team

The G&A Recruiting team partners with DoorDash’s corporate functions to build the talent that enables the company to operate, scale, and innovate. Within this, a growing area of focus is technical hiring across G&A, spanning Security Engineering, People Technology, and Global Support Systems.

This role sits at the intersection of technical and non-technical recruiting, supporting some of the most critical but less traditional engineering functions at DoorDash. You’ll also play a key role in shaping how we approach this hiring globally, partnering across DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo.

About the Role

In this role, you will lead technical hiring across G&A functions, with a focus on Security Engineering, People Technology, and platform/GSS roles. While your core execution will be focused on DoorDash, you’ll also help drive alignment and consistency in how we approach this hiring across our international brands.

This is a unique opportunity to operate in a high-impact, less saturated space, where strong talent strategy, stakeholder partnership, and creativity in sourcing are critical to success.

You’ll partner closely with leaders across Legal Security, and People Technology to translate business needs into effective hiring strategies, while also helping to build more scalable and consistent approaches to technical hiring across G&A globally.

In your first 90 days, you will begin managing a portfolio of active searches, build trust with key executives, and establish rigorous operating mechanisms for search execution. Success in this role is defined by exceptional search quality, trusted partnerships, and consistent delivery against our most critical hiring needs.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Lead hiring for specialized technical roles within G&A, including Security Engineering, People Technology, and platform/GSS functions.
• Partner with Security, Engineering, and People leaders to align hiring strategies with evolving business and technical priorities.
• Develop creative sourcing strategies for niche talent pools, where traditional approaches may not be sufficient.
• Act as a connector across brands (DoorDash, Wolt, Deliveroo), helping to drive consistency and share best practices in G&A technical hiring.
• Improve hiring quality through structured assessment, interviewer calibration, and thoughtful candidate evaluation.
• Contribute to broader recruiting initiatives focused on global alignment, process improvement, and operational efficiency.

We’re excited about you because…

• You have 7+ years of recruiting experience in technical hiring (e.g., Security, Infrastructure, Platform, or related domains).
• You’re comfortable operating in less defined or emerging hiring areas and can build structure where it doesn’t yet exist.
• You’re a strong partner to both technical and non-technical stakeholders and can bridge those worlds effectively.
• You bring strong client management skills and can influence and guide senior leaders through complex and competitive search processes.
• You are a talent advisor who leverages market intelligence, structured assessment, and external networks to shape hiring strategies and outcomes.
• You have a proven ability to build long-term relationships with senior candidates and facilitate meaningful engagement between talent and DoorDash leadership.
• You excel in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and bring strong project management, communication, and problem-solving skills that drive impact.
