About the Team

We're looking for an experienced operations specialist, to lead and manage a DoorDash fulfillment warehouse focused on last mile fulfillment. This role leads in a new and emerging business line- creative problem solving, flexibility, and willingness to experiment and scale will be keys to success.

About the Role

The goal of this role is to successfully build, scale, and drive the success of end-to-end warehousing operations within the site, through strong people-focused leadership and analytical problem solving

You're excited about this opportunity because you will…

Additionally, as the operational owner, you will be responsible for iterating/driving experimentation to improve processes.

You'll use data to identify pain-points or areas of inefficiency and then design, build and execute process improvement projects to improve warehouse operations, while optimizing for employee experience.
  • Delight Customers: Work cross-functionally with central teams to ensure your site offers customers (which include both our Merchant Partners and the end recipients they serve) the best experience on each and every order we touch and provide your team with the tools, resources and support needed to achieve these goals.

We're excited about you because…

  • 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 unafraid of ambiguity. Rapid change and learning is exciting to you, and you thrive in ambiguous, startup environments.
  • You are adaptable. When it comes to operational changes, you are flexible and react with speed.
  • You're analytical. You let data win arguments. You are a data-first problem solver with excellent Excel / data analysis skills.
  • You're relentless. You do what it takes to win, no matter what.
  • You're a proven leader. You have led & managed teams of 15 employees.
  • You act like an owner. You do what it takes to support a 24/7 business across multiple shifts.
  • You have 3 years' experience: In Operations, Fulfillment, Last-Mile Logistics, and/or Manufacturing.
  • You have flexibility in your schedule. As the leader of the site and the operations, you will need to ensure your team and the site is fully supported, requiring some late night and weekend availability.
  • Bonus Points:
    • Experience starting or scaling a successful startup.
    • You have operational experience in logistics and/or Fulfillment Center/Warehousing.
    • You have experience leading leaders.
Base Pay Range:
