About the Team

At DoorDash, we’re building the future of retail media by transforming how retailers and brands connect across the open web. As we expand, we’re looking for a strategic, entrepreneurial, and execution-focused leader to drive growth with new retailers through our offsite retail media Saas platform, Symbiosys.ai.

About the Role

As Account Executive you’ll be responsible for working cross-functionally with product, sales, and retail partnerships to scale our footprint across North America. You’ll manage relationships with top-tier retailers, shape strategy, and ensure DoorDash and Symbiosys becomes the premier offsite media solution for commerce across North America.

This role requires a deep understanding of the ad tech ecosystem, a customer-first mindset, and the ability to operate at both strategic and tactical levels. You’ll be equally comfortable pitching a retail partnership, crafting a media plan with an advertiser, and driving internal alignment to execute on ambitious growth goals. This role will be hybrid and based out of our NYC office.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will:

Own the growth and success of the region, with responsibility for retailer adoption, advertiser revenue, and market expansion
Lead strategic partnerships with retailers, influencing their offsite media monetization strategy and enabling integration into the DoorDash platform
Drive advertiser success, developing go-to-market strategies and partnering with key advertisers and agencies to unlock revenue across the region
Partner cross-functionally with product, marketing, operations, and engineering teams to localize platform capabilities and build market-ready solutions
Represent DoorDash in the market, evangelizing our offsite offering and positioning us as a category leader at industry events and forums

We’re excited about you because:

You have a track record of building and growing businesses in fast-paced, high-growth environments—especially within ad tech, retail media, or digital platforms
You’re strategic, but not afraid to roll up your sleeves and execute
You know how to navigate complex partnerships across retailers, brands, and technology stakeholders
You have strong communication and influencing skills, and you can drive alignment across both internal and external stakeholders
You’re energized by building something from the ground up and leading with ownership and urgency
