Staff Product Designer, Merchant Marketing

About The Team

At DoorDash, we’re redefining what it means to be a designer. We’re building a team of makers, builders, and doers. Over the past decade, “web designer” evolved into “product designer” as the scope expanded. Now, that shift is happening again — LLMs are broadening the role further, pushing design toward both strategic thinking and direct execution. As a Staff Product Designer, you’ll help lead this evolution: not only practicing build-first design, but scaling it across people, processes, and systems.

About The Role

In this role, you’ll join the Ads & Promos Design team — one of DoorDash’s fastest-growing businesses — owning end-to-end campaign experience design and shaping the strategic vision for our marketing tooling system. This platform powers both SMB and enterprise restaurants across DoorDash’s global markets and connects local businesses with over 40 million consumers globally.

Your impact will span both team effectiveness and business growth. You’ll increase team velocity and autonomy by building reusable workflows, shared tools, and decision frameworks that enable designers to operate at a higher level with less coordination overhead. In parallel, you’ll drive measurable business outcomes by unlocking faster experimentation, shorter iteration cycles, and higher-quality execution across your team and adjacent teams.

This role can be based in New York City, San Francisco, or Seattle and reports to the Design Manager for Ads & Promotions (Restaurant Experience Team). We follow a hybrid model: 1–2 days per week in a Design Hub, with the remainder remote.

You're excited about this opportunity because you will…

Define projects with a clear point of view, writing briefs that synthesize customer insights and business goals into actionable roadmaps

Bring clarity to ambiguous, cross-team problems and turn them into work that ships; drive prioritization and make thoughtful tradeoffs between quality, speed, and impact

Lead projects from concept through execution, staying close during iteration to ensure high-quality outcomes; deliver high-fidelity designs and production-ready prototypes that set the standard for craft

Design across systems and workflows, contributing to shared tools (e.g., prompt libraries, component generators, workflow automations) that improve team productivity

Mentor peers on responsible AI usage and contribute reusable frameworks that scale beyond your team

Build strong cross-functional relationships and influence roadmaps through evidence-based thinking and tangible prototypes

Multiply team impact through mentorship, recruiting, and inclusive practices

We're excited about you because…

You have a portfolio demonstrating craft excellence, systems thinking, and leadership through influence

You use data to inform decisions, prioritize effectively, and deliver high-impact outcomes

You’re comfortable working in code and with LLM-powered tools, prototyping in production, and contributing to implementation when needed

You design and build solutions that scale across teams and workflows

You thrive in ambiguity and create clarity through shipped work—not just presentations
