Marketing Manager - Dasher Expansion
About the Team
Integrated Marketing brings the value of DoorDash to Customers, Merchants, and Dashers by informing DoorDash’s product strategy through identifying audience needs, communicating the value of the products and services we create, and by nurturing engagement through marketing campaigns and programs.
This role sits within the Dasher Integrated Marketing team, which drives awareness, engagement, and sentiment among Dashers. Within the team, the Expansion Pod focuses on new business bets and emerging opportunities—from DashLink and DSD to Catering, Alcohol, and Parcels. We work closely with Product, Strategy, and Operations partners to bring new, innovative delivery experiences to market that expand what it means to dash with DoorDash.
About the Role
As a Manager, Dasher Integrated Marketing – Expansion & New Business Bets, you will lead growth and go-to-market strategies for DoorDash's newest, early-stage earning opportunities for Dashers. You’ll work with partners both within the Dasher marketing org and across product management, design, strategy & operations to support strategic marketing initiatives that define product-market fit and drive awareness, adoption & excitement of new offer types for Dashers. You’ll work on projects ranging from scrappy ops tests, to national GTM launches to support the development and scaling of programs that increase engagement and retention within these new earning opportunities. You’ll leverage in-app, owned, and earned channels to grow product usage, measure impact, and drive awareness for these initiatives. You’ll collaborate with research teams like UXR and Audience insights to identify and synthesize Dasher needs, trends, and early opportunities for us to explore.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys blending analytical thinking with creative storytelling, and loves building new things from the ground up.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you are…
A team player who leads by example. You bring a growth and performance mindset to problems, while also weaving together a knack for storytelling to help make a campaign or product launch successful.
Key responsibilities:
Define and size target Dasher audiences and cohorts for new earning opportunities, including TAM and which audience segments to prioritize.
Own product-market fit work: form hypotheses, design and run research (surveys, UXR interviews, concept tests, pilots), and translate findings into positioning, product feedback and roadmap input.
Collaborate with product, design, and strategy & operations to run small-scale pilots to validate demand before investing in a national launch; set success criteria up front, and decide whether to scale, iterate or stop.
Lead go-to-market strategy for new, early-stage offer types, from first pilot through scale.
Execute marketing experimentation and pilots for new offerings that Dashers value and adopt—synthesizing learnings and scaling what works.
Partner with research and insights teams to uncover Dasher needs, pain points, and motivations across new earning modalities, and use findings to inform messaging and product roadmaps.
Collaborate with Creative, Brand, and CRM teams to build high-impact campaigns across owned and earned channels.
Join a cross-functional team from Product, Brand, CRM, and Operations on weekly business reviews. Report out to leadership on progress and drive recommendations
Mentor and influence cross-functional partners as the marketing lead for new business bets, helping set the tone and best practices for how we test, learn, and scale.
Roll up your sleeves to own the success of a campaign or test: writing content, setting up in-app and email campaigns, and bringing together other needed partners to execute your strategies
We’re excited about you because…
5+ years of professional experience in a marketing or strategy role, within a high-growth and fast-paced environment and experience working with Product and Strategy teams
You have strong project management skills, balancing multiple initiatives while maintaining attention to detail. You’re experienced in cross-functional leadership, aligning product, ops, creative, and research stakeholders toward a shared goal.
You’re data-fluent and can lead and self-serve on market/segment sizing, forecasting, and analytics to understand campaign efficacy and run A/B tests. You're proficient in Excel and understand how to best leverage available AI tooling to gather insights and trends. Ideally, you’re also proficient in SQL (not a requirement)
You have hands-on research skills: you've designed and run primary research (surveys, interviews, concept tests) yourself and used the results to shape positioning, product or roadmap decisions.
You have experience in 0→1 or early-stage launches where the product, audience and playbook were still being defined.
You can flex between strategic and executional work —developing GTM frameworks one day and writing in-app copy the next.
You’re an exceptional communicator—clear, concise, and persuasive.
You have a builder's mentality: you're energized by new products, comfortable with incomplete information, and get hands-on to make ideas real and launch products that resonate with your audience
We expect this position to be filled by 12/7/26.
