DoorDash Manager, Meetings & Events Sourcing at DoorDash responsible for building and leading the sourcing strategy for global meetings and events. Focuses on travel, sourcing, supplier, policy, and commercial components of meetings and events.
Responsibilities
A key focus of the role will be connecting our group meetings volume with our broader transient travel program. You will identify opportunities to combine hotel, air, and transportation volume to strengthen supplier negotiations, improve preferred-program performance, reduce costs, and create a more consistent employee experience.
This is not an event-planning or workplace-programming role. Success will be measured by the strength of our sourcing strategy, supplier performance, financial outcomes, policy adoption, risk management, and visibility into global M&E spend.
This position may work remotely within the US, with an East Coast location preferred to support collaboration across North America and EMEA.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will...
Build and own the global Meetings & Events sourcing strategy across DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo, including hotel room blocks, meeting venues, group transportation, and preferred supplier partnerships.
Develop and implement a global M&E policy and sourcing framework, establishing consistent contracting, approval, compliance, and risk management standards.
Drive measurable savings and cost avoidance through strategic negotiations, supplier consolidation, and leveraging combined group and transient travel volume across hotels, airlines, and transportation.
Partner with cross-functional stakeholders, including Workplace & Real Estate, Finance, Procurement, Legal, Executive Assistants, and business leaders to deliver scalable sourcing solutions and improve the employee experience.
Establish reporting, KPIs, and supplier performance management to increase visibility into global M&E spend, track savings, mitigate contractual risks, and continuously improve program efficiency.
We’re excited about you because...
6+ years of experience in Meetings & Events, strategic sourcing, corporate travel, or hospitality, with expertise in global meetings and group travel.
Strong sourcing and negotiation skills, including hotel room blocks, venue contracts, attrition, cancellation terms, and supplier management.
