About the role
We file this job under Data Leadership, by the work the posting describes.
Data leaders run data teams or design how a company's data fits together. Managers hire, set priorities and answer for whether the data work pays off; architects choose the systems and the shape of the data.
Expect years of hands-on data work, experience leading people or projects, and the ability to explain tradeoffs to executives.
Unlike a senior engineer or analyst, most of a data leader's week goes to people, planning and decisions rather than building.

Job description
About the Team
DashOS is DoorDash’s platform for helping restaurants grow. It connects Marketplace, direct ordering, reservations, loyalty, and marketing (including SevenRooms) so restaurants can recognize the same guest across every channel, personalize how they bring them back, and use AI to automate manual work, all alongside the systems they already use.
Our portfolio spans 0→1 bets, early-stage products, and rapidly scaling offerings, so our work sits at the intersection of product innovation, commercialization, and long-term platform strategy. The analytics and data science team helps define the right metrics, guide product and go-to-market investments, and turn new product ideas into durable outcomes for restaurants and for DoorDash.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Director of Data Science to lead a broad and high-impact portfolio supporting DashOS. In this role, you will shape how we measure success, guide product and commercial strategy, and build the data foundations that help teams move quickly and make better decisions across products at different stages of maturity. Success in this role means building a high-performing team, raising the quality and speed of decision-making, and helping DoorDash identify and scale the highest-ROI opportunities across the portfolio. You will report into a Senior Director on our Merchant Analytics team in our Analytics organization.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…
- Lead and grow a team of data science and analytics leaders and practitioners across a portfolio that spans 0→1 products, products still being shaped and commercialized, and businesses already scaling quickly.
- Own the analytical direction for the portfolio, including experimentation, KPI design, forecasting, decision support, funnel analytics, and foundational measurement.
- Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Strategy & Operations, and Go-to-Market leaders to influence roadmap, commercialization, and investment decisions.
- Build the operating system for decision-making by improving instrumentation, creating single sources of truth, and connecting short-term execution with long-term business outcomes.
- Operate with broad scope and high autonomy in a startup-like environment while benefiting from the support and talent density of a scaled analytics organization.
We’re excited about you because…
- You have 10+ years of experience in Data Science, Analytics, or a related quantitative field, including significant experience leading senior teams and developing managers.
- You have strong product and business analytics judgment, with a track record of defining metrics, building decision frameworks, and influencing strategy in ambiguous environments.
- You have deep expertise in experimentation and causal inference, and you are comfortable making decisions in settings with imperfect data, evolving products, and small or noisy samples.
- You bring hands-on technical fluency in SQL and statistical analysis, and you can go deep enough to raise the technical bar for the team while operating effectively at a leadership level.
- You have experience working cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and business leaders, and can translate complex analysis into clear recommendations that drive action
