About the Team
Merchant Analytics helps DoorDash make better product, business, and go-to-market decisions through high-quality analytics, predictive modeling, experimentation, and strategic thought partnership. We work across some of DoorDash’s most important merchant and marketplace priorities, building the measurement, insights, and decision frameworks that improve outcomes for merchants and drive company impact.
About the Role
We’re hiring two Data Science Managers, each to lead a pod within Merchant Analytics and help shape high-priority product and business decisions.
