About the Team
New Verticals is an exciting team at DoorDash that is building and scaling new ways to delight our customers beyond restaurant delivery.
Our Central Operations team, part of New Verticals Strategy & Operations, is re-inventing how consumers shop grocery, convenience, alcohol and retail by making every store’s digital shelf match the physical shelf. We do this by onboarding new data sources that improve selection coverage, price accuracy, inventory accuracy, and the location data that helps Dashers find the store and the item. When these get better, consumers see what they want at the right price and receive it with fewer substitutions and refunds, Dashers shop and navigate faster, and merchants sell more. You will partner with Product, Engineering, and Data Science to build AI-enabled tooling, launch operational processes at scale, own metrics, and pull operational and product levers across our Grocery, Convenience, Alcohol and Retail businesses.
About the Role
We are looking to hire a Manager to own how we onboard new data sources, external and internal, onto our ecosystem. Externally, you will bring on inventory and syndicated data providers, CPG branded data, in-store robotics companies, and other software and technology partners. Internally, you will find new ways to leverage the data we already have. Together, these sources align the physical inventory of brick-and-mortar stores with the digital inventory. You will also explore how these assets could grow into an inventory-as-a-service solution. You will partner with Machine Learning, Engineering,
