About the Team
The Marketplace Strategy & Operations team at DoorDash is responsible for accelerating Marketplace growth, consumer engagement and retention. Using a customer-obsessed approach, we own market strategy, consumer affordability, the end-to-end DoorDash app experience and new value propositions. We are looking for a hands-on builder to optimise how consumers interact with merchants and develop strategies that drive frequency and loyalty.
About the Role
We are hiring an Associate Manager to lead the NZ marketplace strategy and to drive consumer growth in a way that keeps customers coming back. Your work will shape how consumers discover and engage with DoorDash—across merchandising, in-app experience, pricing and partnerships. As this role sits at the intersection of strategy, analytics and cross-functional execution - you will closely partner with Product, Engineering, Sales and Marketing across the Restaurant and New Verticals business lines.
A core part of the role is leveraging metrics to guide decision-making. You will analyse performance across key levers such as conversion, retention, frequency, and category adoption, translating insights into clear priorities and action plans. You will also contribute to go-to-market and expansion strategies, using data to determine which areas to prioritise and how to scale them effectively.
You will own and optimise critical aspects of the in-app experience—from how consumers discover merchants and offerings, to how merchandising is executed across the platform. This includes ensuring that the right selection is surfaced to the right customers at the right time, and that the overall journey is seamless, intuitive, and aligned with our growth objectives.
This is a highly visible team with fast feedback loops, where ideas quickly turn into live experiences and impact can be seen in real time across consumer engagement, order growth and dollars earned for merchants.
You will report into the Manager on our Consumer Strategy & Operations team. This is a hybrid role, with 3 days in-office (Auckland) and 2 days remote.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…
- Strategise - create and execute the go-to-market strategy for our consumers and merchants, considering in-app engagement, retention and order rates
- Build and execute - test and incorporate new product features in collaboration with international product and engineering teams and continually measure performance
- Collaborate daily with a broad team - you will lead New Zealand’s in-app experience, partnering with Sales, Marketing, Ads & Promotions teams to ensure Restaurant and New Verticals merchants meet their conversion and impression targets
- Analyse and lead - use quantitative and qualitative data to inform strategy, prioritize initiatives, define and track KPIs and communicate insights to senior stakeholders.
- Experiment - use a data-driven and customer-first approach to identify improvement opportunities and make our business 1% better everyday.
We’re excited about you because you will have…
- 5+ years of experience in consulting, strategy, operations, product, technology, banking, analytics or related experience
- A bias for action - you are a relentless and independent problem solver, are a “do-er” and can influence and challenge effectively, to execute creative solutions.
- Proven analytics skills - Intermediate SQL knowledge and competency with dashboards is required.
- Strong business acumen - you are able to identify the “so what” from data, interdependencies between performance metrics and translate them into operational strategy.
- Thought leadership - you will be able to apply a framework to break down ambiguous problems and conduct methodical deep-dives into drivers of the issue.
- Exceptional cross-functional leadership and ability to manage multiple workstreams at once

- Use AI and automation to fundamentally change how Re‑Leased operates — reducing manual effort, accelerating decisions, and raising output quality across every team
- Evaluate and onboard new AI tools where they create genuine value, and build the enablement framework so our people are equipped and confident
- Improve the infrastructure, processes, and systems that let Re‑Leased scale — across Finance, P&C, and all non-GTM functions
- Design and run structured pilots for new initiatives, then transition what works into core business functions with clear ownership
- Collaborate across GTM, Customer, Operations, Finance, P&C, and Leadership to build the buy-in that makes adoption stick
- Establish the metrics and dashboards to track initiative progress and report transparently on results
Your Experience
- Proven experience in growth, strategy, or operations roles within SaaS or high-growth tech environments
- Exposure to Sales, Expansion, and Customer motions, with familiarity across GTM systems and RevOps tooling — CRM automation, sales engagement platforms, and customer success tools
- Strong hands-on experience with AI and automation tools (e.g. Claude, Clay, and similar), with a track record of driving efficiency and quality improvements
- Ability to evaluate new technologies, build business cases, and lead successful adoption across teams
- Demonstrated experience delivering end-to-end initiatives — from problem definition through to execution and embedding into BAU
- Strong analytical capability, including building dashboards, reporting frameworks, and ROI models
- Entrepreneurial mindset with a focus on outcomes and impact in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
- Pragmatic and hands-on approach, comfortable moving between strategy and execution
- Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the ability to drive change across functions
- Collaborative and adaptable, able to align teams around new ideas and ways of working
- Highly organised, resilient, and action-oriented, with a focus on delivering measurable results
Why you’ll love working here
- Taking care of you: Including comprehensive health insurance, access to a premium EAP service and an annual wellness allowance to spend on what helps you feel good - whether that’s towards a gym membership, new running shoes, or mindfulness apps.
- Support for families: Generous paid parental leave and flexible, family-friendly support designed to help growing families balance work and life with confidence.
- Recognition for tenure and milestones: We celebrate time, commitment, and contribution with milestone rewards and additional leave as you grow your career with us.
- Flexible working, built for a global team: With customers and teammates across New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, and North America, we work in a hybrid, remote-friendly way with collaborative offices and the flexibility of a balanced approach to WFH/i-office work.
Our culture is very important to us too, and we strongly believe in living out our core values:
- People First: One team globally; our people and customers always come first.
- Find a Way: Like a river, we find a way around all obstacles
- Win or Learn: Our journey for improvement never ends; enjoy the ride!
