About The Team Our Account Development Strategy & Operations team is responsible for designing, building, and running a world-class sales organization to successfully grow our SMB restaurants through leading product solutions. It supports the sales specialist team that focuses on DoorDash Commerce Platform: our company’s hyper growth business unit that allows restaurants to enable ecommerce ordering fulfillment for their first-party experiences (i.e., website and in-store). The Platform product portfolio consists of Online Ordering, Tableside Order & Pay, CRM, Mobile Apps, and Websites — all designed to maximize sales for merchants while fitting seamlessly into their existing operations and Brand.
About The Role As a Manager, Sales Strategy & Planning at DoorDash, you will lead high-impact initiatives that shape our sales vision and operationalize it at scale. This role blends sales planning (quotas, incentives, forecasting, compensation design) with broader strategy and operations leadership (pipeline rigor, GTM strategy, and long-term organizational planning).
You will serve as a strategic thought partner to Sales leadership while driving operational discipline across the organization. The ideal candidate will bring a blend of both strategy and execution – setting the sales vision to enable DoorDash to become a B2B SaaS powerhouse, while driving operational rigor to problem solve and enable our sales team’s success. You will own cross-functional programs end-to-end, ensuring alignment across Sales, Product, Finance, Analytics, and Sales Operations to achieve ambitious growth goals.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…
We’re excited about you because…
You map complex operational workflows, diagnose data gaps, and architect AI-driven solutions end-to-end—from process discovery through prototype to production deployment. You build in AI tooling (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) and ship real automation that eliminates manual work, closes visibility gaps, and accelerates decision-making across the business. You think in systems, not features. You treat every broken process as a build opportunity and every data gap as a use case waiting to be deployed. This is not an AI-curious role; this is an AI-native operating environment where you are expected to build, test, and iterate continuously.
