Senior Manager, New Verticals - Search S&O at DoorDash · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Search is critical to delivering a seamless customer experience. We’re looking for someone to join and lead our Search team across New Verticals (Grocery, Convenience, Alcohol, and Retail). You will be responsible for defining, executing and optimizing product initiatives aimed at ensuring customers can quickly and confidently find what they’re looking for. You will work closely with product, engineering, and data science to launch experiences that make shopping 10x better for our customers. You’ll dive deep into data to understand consumer behavior, measure impact, and identify opportunities to improve search relevance and conversion across the app. You’ll report into a Director on our New Verticals Strategy & Operations team and manage a small team. We operate in a hybrid model so we spend a few days a quarter in person together, but all our offices are open should you choose to go in more regularly!
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will...
Build. You’ll have your fingerprints all over DoorDash’s New Verticals business, across grocery, convenience, retail, alcohol and more. You’ll do whatever it takes to launch, get 1% better every day, and scale something completely new. This means everything from high-level strategy to nitty-gritty operational details.
Strategize. From first principles, you’ll develop the optimal strategy for best serving our customers.
Experiment. You’ll transform strategies into operational experiments that create measurable and actionable outcomes, informing your larger initiative implementation plans.
Analyze. You’ll assess the operational and financial impacts of your decisions, and iterate based on data.
Lead and collaborate. You’ll work with a cross-functional team, including Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Design to build this new line of business for DoorDash.
We’re excited about you because...
You have 8-12+ years of experience. You’ve succeeded in high-performance cultures (whether in tech, operations, strategy, consulting, banking, or a related experience).
You are a leader. You have 2+ years of experience managing high-performing teams.
You solve problems from first principles. You’re excited to solve problems in innovative ways, and you resist “this is how it’s always been done” thinking.
You’re AI native. You root cause problems with a systems first approach and can identify how to automate repeatable tasks using AI tools like Claude, Cursor, Gemini or Copilot.
