Job description
About the Team
DoorDash Labs is an independent team within DoorDash. We explore robotics and automation to transform last-mile logistics in the long term. If you have a passion for applying autonomous aviation technologies in a service used by millions of people, then we want to talk to you!
About the Role
This role is the day-to-day backbone of the region's workforce. You'll support your manager on coverage across every site — flagging gaps early and stepping in to close them. Training and compliance, though, are yours to own: you run it, keep it current, and make sure every worker's records stay accurate and audit-ready at all times.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…
Create an Impact:
Own day-to-day scheduling across every site in the region
Monitor and manage our flexible staffing platforms — filling coverage gaps and keeping the workforce pool running smoothly
Onboard and train new workers joining the temporary staffing network
Keep training and onboarding records accurate and up to date, and run regular check-ins so the team is always ready
Help make sure every site stays staffed, every shift — stepping in personally, including as a runner between sites and merchant locations
Contribute feedback and ideas that strengthen processes, product experiences, and regional reliability.
Identify where training is missing and create new content to close the gap
Team Collaboration:
Be the first call for your manager — flagging coverage or compliance issues before they turn into bigger problems
Mentor and provide day-to-day guidance to your teammates and the temporary and contract workforce
Build positive, trusted relationships with merchants and local partners
Communication:
Represent the program with professionalism in every interaction
Keep your manager in the loop on coverage and training status, clearly and proactively
Share on-the-ground observations that help improve the service and strengthen community adoption
We’re excited about you because…
You've done this kind of work before — operations, logistics, scheduling, or leading a team (bonus points for last-mile delivery experience)
Comfortable managing a flexible workforce through a staffing platform tool
Strong organizational habits — this role owns compliance and training records
Must have access to a reliable personal vehicle and a valid driver's license, as the role requires regional travel between sites and runner coverage to merchant locations
A positive, can-do attitude and comfort operating with more autonomy and a broader scope of ownership
What You’ll Learn:
How workforce and scheduling operations power an emerging drone delivery service
How to manage a flexible workforce through a staffing platform as the program grows
Cross-functional collaboration with regional leadership
We expect this position to be filled by 11-30-2026 Compensation

At DoorDash, our mission to empower local economies shapes how our team members move quickly, learn, and reiterate in order to make impactful decisions that display empathy for our range of users—from Dashers to merchant partners to consumers. We are a technology and logistics company that started by enabling door-to-door delivery, and we are looking for team members who can help us go from a company that is known as the place you order food to a company that people turn to for any and all goods. DoorDash is growing rapidly and changing constantly, which gives our team members the opportunity to share their unique perspectives, solve new challenges, and own their careers. We're committed to supporting employees’ happiness, healthiness, and overall well-being by providing comprehensive benefits and perks including premium healthcare, wellness expense reimbursement, paid parental leave and more.

That’s why we hire and cultivate diverse teams of people from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We believe that true innovation happens when everyone has room at the table and the tools, resources, and opportunity to excel.
