Auckland, New Zealand Hybrid

DoorDash is hiring a Senior Associate, Strategy & Operations

About the Role

As a Senior Associate in Strategy & Operations, you will play a central role in shaping and refining pricing and promotional frameworks that directly influence the performance of a rapidly expanding restaurant marketplace. Your work will center on designing and evaluating commercial initiatives that balance growth, profitability, and operational feasibility across the ANZ region.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end development and assessment of pricing strategies and promotional programs, ensuring they deliver measurable business value
  • Establish and uphold rigorous standards for analytical quality across teams
  • Develop unit-level economic models and design experiments to validate the commercial viability of offers
  • Define the structure of bundles, discounts, and pricing mechanics that reach millions of users
  • Build first-principles sensitivity models to evaluate financial trade-offs and long-term sustainability
  • Ensure all recommendations are grounded in clear P&L logic and margin implications
  • Produce strategic frameworks that enable leadership to make informed decisions under uncertainty
  • Serve as a trusted advisor on initiatives with significant market impact
  • Operate with autonomy to resolve critical issues in the New Zealand market
  • Collaborate with Sales, Marketing, and Finance to align promotional strategy with operational capacity and business goals

What We’re Looking For

  • Minimum of three years in management consulting or high-velocity commercial roles with a focus on execution
  • Strong analytical foundation—able to deconstruct complex problems, detect flaws in reasoning, and translate data into clear actions
  • Hands-on experience with pricing architecture, funding models, and forecasting behavioral responses to incentives
  • Excellent written communication skills, with a habit of leading with evidence and simplifying nuanced trade-offs for senior audiences
  • Proven ability to work independently—manage timelines, deliver clean outputs, and influence cross-functional partners without formal authority
  • Comfort operating in ambiguous environments with limited data and urgent deadlines

Work Environment

This role follows a hybrid model requiring three days per week in-office in Auckland, supporting collaboration while allowing flexibility. You’ll join a culture that values speed, learning from real-world outcomes, and making decisions that uplift local economies. The organization emphasizes empathy for all stakeholders—delivery partners, merchants, and customers—and is committed to building inclusive teams where diverse perspectives drive innovation.
