Responsibilities

DoorDash is looking for an experienced Global Head of Economics Research, serving as our Head Economist, to lead our research function. In this role, you will analyze the role we play in local economies and the impact we drive for Dashers, merchants, and consumers — and shape how we share our insights externally. In this expansive role, you’ll lead a team that explores how the DoorDash platform drives economic activity around the world and shapes the broader policy conversation about the future of work and local commerce.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will...
Lead our Global Economics Research function — setting this vision, defining the direction of our research, and driving execution of a high-impact research agenda.
Analyze our economic impact and how policy proposals affect our platform and the Dashers, merchants, and consumers who use it every day.
Produce other public-facing analyses that clearly and credibly demonstrate our impact to policymakers, the media, and other audiences — telling unique stories about the role we play in local economies.
In partnership with Public Policy and Communications teammates, translate complex research into compelling narratives for external audiences, including in interviews with the media and meetings with policymakers.
Engage with academics, think tanks, and other thought leaders to further analyze and describe our impact — and create a foundation for proposed policies.
Coordinate closely with other members of the Public Policy & Communications Team, as well as the Analytics, Finance, Communications, and Strategy & Ops Teams.
Manage a team with global remit.
We’re excited about you because...
You have a PhD in Economics or a similar domain.
You have 10+ years of experience in economic research, data analytics, economic or management consulting, or a related quantitative role, with a strong track record of influencing senior stakeholders and communicating complex findings to non-technical audiences.
