About the role
About the Team The Commerce Platform team builds products that help merchants grow, operate, and monetize their business with DoorDash. Our portfolio spans 0→1 bets, early-stage products, and rapidly scaling offerings, which means our work sits at the intersection of product innovation, commercialization, and long-term platform strategy. The team’s analytics and data science work helps define the right metrics, guide product and go-to-market investments, and turn new product ideas into durable business outcomes. About the Role We’re looking for a Director of Data Science to lead a broad and high-impact portfolio supporting Commerce Platform. In this role, you will shape how we measure success, guide product and commercial strategy, and build the data foundations that help teams move quickly and make better decisions across products at different stages of maturity. Success in this role means building a high-performing team, raising the quality and speed of decision-making, and helping DoorDash identify and scale the highest-ROI opportunities across the portfolio. You will report into a Senior Director on our Merchant Analytics team in our Analytics organization. You’re excited about this opportunity because you will… • Lead and grow a team of data science and analytics leaders and practitioners across a portfolio that spans 0→1 products, products still being shaped and commercialized, and businesses already scaling quickly. • Own the analytical direction for the portfolio, including experimentation, KPI design, forecasting, decision support, funnel analytics, and foundational measurement. • Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Strategy & Operations, and Go-to-Market leaders to influence roadmap, commercialization, and investment decisions. • Build the operating system for decision-making by improving instrumentation, creating single sources of truth, and connecting short-term execution with long-term business outcomes. • Operate with broad scope and high autonomy in a startup-like environment while benefiting from the support and talent density of a scaled analytics organization. We’re excited about you because… • You have 10+ years of experience in Data Science, Analytics, or a related quantitative field, including significant experience leading senior teams and developing managers. • You have strong product and business analytics judgment, with a track record of defining metrics, building decision frameworks, and influencing strategy in ambiguous environments. • You have deep expertise in experimentation and causal inference, and you are comfortable making decisions in settings with imperfect data, evolving products, and small or noisy samples. • You bring hands-on technical fluency in SQL and statistical analysis, and you can go deep enough to raise the technical bar for the team while operating effectively at a leadership level. • You have experience working cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and business leaders, and can translate complex analysis into clear recommendations that drive action Compensation The successful candidate’s starting pay will fall within the pay range listed below and is determined based on job-related factors including, but not limited to, skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions. Base salary is localized according to an employee’s work location. Ranges are market-dependent and may be modified in the future. In addition to base salary, the compensation for this role includes opportunities for equity grants. Talk to your recruiter for more information. DoorDash cares about you and your overall well-being. That’s why we offer a comprehensive benefits package to all regular employees, which includes a 401(k) plan with employer matching, 16
