Associate, Finance & Strategy - DashPass
About the Team
DashPass is one of the fastest-growing subscription products in the US, with 20M+ paid members. The DashPass Finance & Strategy team sits at the center of how that growth gets funded, forecasted, and scaled — partnering across DashPass to assess the profitability and scalability of initiatives, influence business decisions, and keep the team focused on the highest-impact problems. We're looking for people who can model the future, think through nuances and dependencies, and collaborate to carry projects from conception through execution.
About the Role
This is a high-visibility Associate seat on one of the most important consumer products at DoorDash. You will own how DashPass deploys capital — what we invest in, how we budget, and whether spend actually grows the membership without giving up efficiency. You will sit with DashPass GMs as the finance partner on those dollars, join the planning committee that forecasts paid subscribers and subscription fees and builds the long-range plan, and stand up zero-to-one models for net-new bets. If you want a role where your analysis shows up in executive rooms and in how a 20M+ member subscription business allocates its next dollar, this is it.
Coverage: This candidate will help manage the US Subscription BU (DashPass) with two primary focus areas: (1) capital allocation and budgeting — the investment mix, the budget process, spend efficiency, and partnering with DashPass GMs so dollars grow DashPass and stay efficient; and (2) planning — the paid-subscriber and subscription-fee forecast and the long-range plan for one of the fastest-growing subscription products in the US. (3) This seat also builds zero-to-one analysis and modeling for net-new initiatives, plus the analytical frameworks that grow both top line and bottom line.
Job Duties: Own DashPass capital allocation and the budgeting infrastructure, including running weekly budgeting meetings and working with cross-functional partners so the process is actually followed. Assess spend efficiency with DashPass GMs and analytics partners. Sit on the planning committee: forecast paid subscribers and subscription fees, help build and update the long-range plan, and get fluent in our subscription and LTV models. Build zero-to-one models on bespoke analyses for net-new initiatives, and help stand up analytical frameworks that grow top line and bottom line.
Team: This team reports to Michael Wu, Director of the DashPass Finance & Strategy team. This Associate role will directly report to Annie Kennelly, Manager, DashPass Finance & Strategy. Key cross-functional partners include senior leadership across DashPass: Rob Edell (Vice President, Head of DashPass), Deeksha Bhatt (Director, DashPass S&O), Courtney Marshall (Director, DashPass Marketing), and Steve Boiko (Director, DashPass Analytics). The Associate will work closely with Analytics, Product, and Marketing partners to drive consensus and strategic recommendations.
