About the Role
We're hiring a Head of Program Management for DoorDash Air, our in-house drone delivery program. DoorDash Air is an FAA Part 135 certified air carrier, flying aircraft we design and build ourselves. In this role, you'll run the program end to end: launching and scaling our commercial drone delivery service while we build the next generation of aircraft. You'll report to the Head of DoorDash Air and sit on the Air leadership team as a peer to every functional lead, across hardware, autonomy, software, systems, reliability, flight operations, supply chain and product. This role is in person at our San Francisco office, with regular time at our test sites.
You're excited about this opportunity because you will…
- Play an integral role on a small and focused team
- Own the integrated plan for DoorDash Air across aircraft, autonomy, software, ground infrastructure, flight operations, safety and merchant integration
- Run two programs at once: scale commercial service on today's aircraft and build the next-generation aircraft
- Set and run the gates that decide when we launch, when we scale, and when a design is ready for production
- Find the critical path across hardware, software and operations, and clear it with the leads who own each piece
- Shape how program management operates ac
