We’re hiring a Director of Network Strategy & Planning to own the design of the Parcel network: where packages enter, how they move and sort, how they reach the door, and the planning systems that decide all of it. Your decisions in the first 12 months will set the cost and service curve for Parcel for years, building on an existing local logistics network and what the team has built over the last 2-3 years.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will...

Design short and long term topology plan for a network, and evaluate long term investments 3-5 years and solving near term P&L opportunities

Design the Parcel network end to end, including where packages enter, sort, and travel, and decide by city whether to build, lease, or partner. Design speed tenants, and customer facing experiences.

Set the delivery promise, cut-off times, and capacity plans for peak season and disruptions, and review plan versus actual results every week.

Turn package volume into delivery routes that are attractive to Dashers and profitable for DoorDash, and design pickup and long-distance trucking between sites with partner carriers.

Build the planning tools with Engineering and Data Science, prototyping simulation and optimization yourself with AI and Python before asking for headcount.

Be measured on speed, cost per package, network productivity, Dasher experience, and reliability, reviewed weekly as ranges rather than averages.

We’re excited about you because...

You have 12+ years of substantial experience leading strategy and operations in a complex, high-growth business, with a track record of building new offerings and scaling them into sustainable businesses.

You have deep experience designing or running parcel, last-mile, or logistics networks, including site design, package flow, and routing.

You have owned cost and service results for a network and make decisions based on data, including when the data disagrees with the plan.
