As a Team Lead on the Global Live Operations team, you will manage a small team of Specialists responsible for executing structured, real-time workflows that support DoorDash’s logistics operations. This is a highly execution-focused, player-coach role. You will oversee daily operations, ensure workflows are completed accurately and consistently, and step in directly when needed—especially during high-impact events or when coverage is limited. You will maintain a high bar for performance, reinforce consistent execution of playbooks, and address issues in real time. You will be managing performance in a high-volume, repetitive workflow environment where consistency and attention to detail are critical. Success in this role requires strong prioritization, attention to detail, and the ability to lead a team operating in a fast-paced, shift-based environment. You will report to an S&O Associate Manager.
