You’ll be equally comfortable optimizing CRM and performance campaigns for measurable results as you are elevating DoorDash’s visual expression and design language. Partnering across Brand, Growth, and Marketing, you’ll deliver design that is strategically sharp, emotionally resonant, and unmistakably on-brand.

Qualifications: • 8+ years of professional design experience spanning brand and growth marketing. • 2+ years of leadership experience managing and mentoring design teams. • Portfolio showcasing both brand-building work (campaigns, identity systems, storytelling) and growth-focused design (CRM, lifecycle, paid social, A/B testing). • Hands-on expertise creating impactful content across web, email, ads, presentations, and campaign assets. • Ability to articulate and defend strategic design decisions to senior stakeholders. • Experience translating complex business concepts into clear, compelling visuals. • Strong collaboration skills; thrives in fast-paced, cross-functional environments. • Expertise with Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (especially After Effects). • Background in technology, media, or digital advertising is a plus. • AI fluency - experience with adopting AI into creative processes 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
