Manager, Dasher & Logistics - Capacity Planning at DoorDash · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

The Sort Capacity Manager owns network-wide capacity de-risking for the Sort organization. This role builds and maintains the constraint model that defines what “de-risked capacity” means across every 1P and 3P facility — dock door availability, floor/pallet-position space, max throughput, and optimal labor and automation.
Own the network constraint model — Model site capacity against its underlying constraints: dock door availability (inbound/outbound truck cadence by hour, translated from Mx forecast), floor/pallet-position space (inbound-to-outbound hourly volume vs. staging capacity), max throughput (automation vs. manual sortation rate, package profile mix, cross-dock vs. sort), and optimal labor hours required to hit max output.
Govern spoke capacity data — Drive spoke capacity maintenance in the sort app, ensuring product reflects current facility configuration, and hold cross-functional partners accountable when it doesn't.
Own zip-to-facility strategy — Own zip code-to-facility mapping and re-optimization as volume and rates shift, balancing service-level and cost trade-offs.
Own device and consumable readiness — Forecast scanners, bins, and gaylords against site growth to avoid reactive procurement; own the readiness cadence end to end.
Scope hub-to-spoke routing opportunities — Build the business case for hub-sort-to-spoke direct routing and bring recommendations forward to Network Design and Real Estate.
Close forecasting product gaps — Identify where forecasting tools fail to capture capacity reality and drive the fix with Data/Product partners.
Own Mx launch — Own Mx launch end to end, including CET allocation by merchant priority, negotiating trade-offs across competing merchant demands.
You're excited about this opportunity because you will...
3-6-12 month runway visibility ahead of any projected capacity constraint.
Site launch recommendations delivered proactively, not reactively.
% of high-priority Mx launches assigned an optimal CET.
