The New Verticals team is building the future of local commerce through expanding our product offerings on our marketplace platform.

Our Strategy & Operations team has their footprint on everything from merchant strategy to consumer experience to dasher experience and beyond!

We are hiring two team members to join our New Verticals Strategy & Operations team to focus on our highest priority initiatives at any given time. This means - you might work on growth for a few months then pivot to a supply chain role or spend some time working on logistics challenges.

What you'd do

Operate. Stand up 0→1 pilots, build dashboards, manage week-over-week KPIs and turn wins into scalable processes.
Launch. You may launch net-new merchants, experiment new initiatives and run in market tests.
Analyze. Build models using Excel and SQL to evaluate expansion opportunities and prioritize the next bets.
Build. Translate consumer, merchant and dasher needs into product requirements, operational improvements and tangible outcomes
Collaborate and Influence. You’ll partner with and lead cross-functional teams across product, engineering, finance, marketing and other folks on strategy & operations.

What they want

You have 1-2+ years of experience. You’ve succeeded in similar cultures that are highly analytical and cross-functional (banking or consulting preferred)
You’re unafraid of ambiguity.
Rapid change and learning is exciting to you, and you thrive in ambiguous, startup environments where you can be creative and scrappy.
You will work on a project basis, so being comfortable in high levels of ambiguity with the expectation of making impact fast is a must.
You’re analytical. You let data win arguments, and you’re comfortable pulling your own data in SQL and building models in excel.
You’re adaptable. You are constantly chasing new tools and ways to become more efficient and know where, when and how to use AI.
You have a completed Bachelor’s Degree in Economics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Business Administration, or relevant field.
You are ready to join and excited about a hybrid work environment.
You must be able to start full-time by October 26th, 2026 and currently be based in New York or San Francisco.
We are not accepting applications of candidates outside of New York or San Francisco, relocation is not offered.
