This unique team combines policy development, direct engagement with policymakers at all levels of government, advocacy campaigns, research and analysis, and programs to promote equity, safety, and sustainability.
About the Role
DoorDash is looking for a Senior Policy Research Analyst to join the Policy Research team. You will use data and economic analysis to support the development of policies that best serve Dashers, merchants, and consumers. If you have experience working with large, complex datasets to tell stories and want to help shape policy proposals that will govern our industry in the years to come, we’re looking for someone like you!

- Define, shape and create metrics that measure DoorDash’s economic impact.
- Develop dashboards and analytical reports to support the Public Policy and Social Impact team’s efforts to inform DoorDash’s public policy objectives.
- Conduct analyses that help us conceptualize and evaluate policy proposals across a wide variety of subject matter areas with an eye toward how they impact different stakeholders.
- Assist in producing economic impact reports, blog posts, and other public-facing analyses that help tell DoorDash’s story and highlight our impact on local economies.
- Work cross-functionally with other members of the Public Policy team, as well as the Analytics, Finance, Communications, and Strategy & Operations Teams.
We’re excited about you because…
- You have a degree in Economics, Public Policy, Statistics, Social Science, or a related quantitative field.
- You have 4+ years of experience in data analytics, economic or management consulting, quantitative policy analysis, or a related quantitative role, including experience communicating findings and analyses to non-technical audiences.
- You have exceptional writing and communications skills, and have experience working with cross-functional teams.
- You are comfortable conducting statistical analysis (e.g. hypothesis testing, regressions) with statistical packages such as R or Python. Familiarity with relational databases and SQL is a plus.
- You understand how to create effective data visualizations to present data or findings.
- You have experience deriving insights from large datasets to address ambiguous problems.
- You are a self-starter who is comfortable tackling problems with a large degree of autonomy, but are also a good teammate.
