The scope of this role ranges from diagnosing problem areas to identifying solutions to designing experiments and ultimately influencing decision making.

  • Identify and measure levers to help move essential metrics and make recommendations

  • Possess excellent stakeholder management skills, know how to effectively collaborate well with strategy, operations, product, finance and engineering

  • Help our cross-functional teams use various data points to properly size the potential initiatives and opportunities

  • Work backwards from understanding and sizing problems to ideating solutions

  • Report against our goals by identifying essential metrics and building executive-facing dashboards to track progress

  • Act as mentors and guide the team towards actionable outcomes

  • At least 5 years of experience in data analytics, consulting, or related quantitative role

  • The ability to take ambiguous problems and solve them in a structured, hypothesis-driven, data-supported way

  • The determination to initiate and lead/own strategic projects to completion in a scrappy environment with a cross-functional team

  • Experience working with experimentation techniques (A/B testing, Causal Inference) and interpreting hypothesis testing

  • Proficiency in at least one programming language, preferably Python and/or R

  • Expertise with SQL queries, Basic ETL, Predictive modelling

  • Proficiency in one or more analytics & visualisation tools (e.g. Looker, Tableau)

  • Clear and concise communication with strong cross-functional partnership experience

  • Drive measurement strategy for the area under scope, defining success metrics, and implementing best practices around experiment design and statistical analysis

The position will be filled as soon as we find the right person, so make sure to apply as soon as you realize you really, really want to join us!

The compensation will be a negotiable combination of monthly pay and DoorDash RSUs. The latter makes it exceptionally easy to be excited about our company growing and doing well, as you’ll own a piece of the pie.
