  • Lead: Source, hire and lead a world-class team of builders and owners in support of our Government and Non-Profit partners
  • Collaborate: Work closely with our Public Policy and Communications teams  to ensure alignment with our mission, values, and strategic goals
  • Sell: Partner with our Policy team to build relationships with senior government and non-profit leaders to embed DoorDash as a mission-critical function in their communities
