We’re looking for a Manager, Brand Strategy to sit at the intersection of Brand Strategy and Creative Strategy — shaping both the foundation of the DoorDash brand and how it shows up in our most important moments. This role is equal parts Brand Strategist and Creative Strategist. You’ll lead early-stage problem framing, insight development, and strategic territory setting — partnering upstream with Integrated Marketing, Creative, Social, and agency teams to set strong strategic foundations before work moves into execution. At the same time, you’ll contribute to the evolution of our brand positioning, messaging frameworks, audience narratives, and brand architecture — ensuring campaigns build toward a consistent, differentiated brand over time.

This is a role for someone who moves fluidly between shaping a campaign and building the system that campaign lives within. Someone who is excited by the opportunity to influence both the work and the strategy behind it.

We’re excited about you because…

• 7+ years of experience in brand and/or creative strategy (brand-side or agency)
• You have a strong point of view on how brands breakthrough in culture, resonate deeply with audiences, and drive relevance
• You excel at framing problems, identifying tensions and insights, and setting strategic clear direction that others can build from
• You know how to build and apply brand positioning, messaging, and architecture in a way that scales across a complex org
• You can bring cross-functional partners along, advocate for strong strategic thinking, and drive clarity in complex environments
• You’re fluent in brand health, brand measurement, and campaign performance - extracting insights to drive action.
• You have strong instincts for what resonates and the judgment to translate cultural signals into clear, actionable strategy.
• Experience operating in a multi-sided business with the ability to unify multiple products/offerings under cohesive brand
• Strong fluency in AI, demonstrated ability to apply it across projects and identify opportunities to build new tools and innovate.
• Thrive in a fast paced environment, able to balance priorities between short term needs and longer term initiatives.
• Fluent in brand measurement, brand health and campaign reporting - ability to extract actionable insights and implications.
• Thrive in a self-starter, fast-paced and changing environment
