About the Team

It’s an exciting time to join our rapidly growing Tax team and be a part of the fast growth the Company is experiencing, particularly with New Verticals and other new product initiatives! The Tax team is heavily involved in the operations of the business that impact Dashers, Merchants and Customers. As a key partner to the business, we are involved at the front end on plans for new products and country expansions.

  • From first principles, develop the optimal tax strategy for best serving our New Verticals internal and external partners (including merchants and customers).
  • Operate at the lowest level of detail, diving into all things that directly or indirectly impact tax in DoorDash’s US Marketplace business, in order to gain insights that can help unlock and grow the business.
  • Think long-term while also rolling up your sleeves and getting to the lowest level of detail on tax matters that impact DoorDash.
  • Communicate with stakeholders at all levels on project plans and important issues.
