DoorDash connects people with the local businesses they care about, helping grow businesses and the communities that support those businesses.

We are looking for a performance marketing expert to join our Growth Marketing Pod. This is a high-impact role for someone who can take ownership of online acquisition across Australia and New Zealand, driving growth while maximising marketing efficiency, expanding reach, improving incrementality and optimising conversion across the funnel.

You’ll be the go-to for performance marketing, partnering closely with our digital marketing agency and cross-functional teams to turn business priorities into effective, scalable acquisition strategies.

You’ll manage significant paid media budgets and have the freedom to make calls on how best to spend that budget, with support from leading creative and digital marketing agencies to bring ambitious growth initiatives to life.

As a paid media expert, you’ll lead the planning, forecasting, briefing and day-to-day optimisation of acquisition campaigns across channels including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Search and Display.

You’ll bring together strong planning, analytical rigour and creative problem solving to translate performance data into actionable insights and develop audience-first strategies that drive growth across priority markets.
