## Job description

## About the Team

DoorDash’s mission is to grow and empower local economies. DoorDash connects people with the local businesses they care about, helping grow businesses and the communities that support those businesses. The Growth Marketing team is responsible for deploying our customer acquisition budget (CAC) across all digital and performance marketing channels, with a focus on New Customer growth as their north star goal, working in collaboration with the brand and partnerships team, as well as an award-winning agency village to achieve success.

## About the Role

The Growth Marketing Manager will lead DoorDash ANZ’s performance marketing pod, driving acquisition and growth across performance marketing in Australia and New Zealand. You’ll be accountable for delivering against our ambitious business goals, including improving marketing efficiency, expanding reach, driving incrementality and optimising conversion across the funnel.

This is a blended manager and hands-on operational role. You’ll plan, execute and optimise media buys and promotional campaigns across performance media channels, including Search, Meta, TikTok, Display and Affiliates, using data and audience insight to shape performance-led growth strategies.

This is a highly cross-functional role, and you’ll partner closely with your digital media agency and internal Creative, Analytics, Finance and MarTech teams to deliver high-impact, performance-driven campaigns.

This is a hybrid role based in either Sydney or Melbourne CBD, with three days in office and two days remote.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

- Own and build the growth marketing strategy for a challenger brand. This is a unique opportunity to shape the role, and drive the strategic direction.
- Lead a high performing team of three to execute on DoorDash’s ambitious goals in the ANZ market.
- Have a clear line of sight on your impact – you’re in charge when it comes to the CAC, CPA, forecasting and marketing mix of your channels. Style it your way to achieve clear KPIs and use your skills in media planning, buying and analysis to make that happen, with plenty of structured tests and learning along the way.
- Build and launch campaigns across a variety of platforms, including Search, Meta, TikTok, Display and Affiliates to name a few.
- Build a growth marketing engine, with messaging and creative that cuts through, featuring the likes of Aldi, KFC, McDonalds, Chemist Warehouse, Costco and Dan Murphys.
- Drive restaurant growth through self-service merchant onboarding and qualified lead generation via performance marketing channels, helping more restaurants discover and join the DoorDash platform.

We’re excited about you because you have…

- 8+ years of growth marketing experience, including team leadership, forecasting, and planning.
- A growth mindset. You aren't afraid of ambitious goals and thrive in a business where performance is measured and celebrated.
- Direct, hands-on experience managing performance marketing and optimisation (Paid search, Paid Social, Display), either at an agency or in-house.
- Experience working in cross-functional, dynamic environments.
- Experience using online advertising solutions such as Google Adwords, Facebook Ad Manager, and internal performance dashboards etc.
- Deep familiarity with all digital marketing metrics, including CPL, CPA, CPC, CPM, LTV and ROAS as well as marketing attribution methodologies.
- Don't just execute; you build the case for why we should invest. You are comfortable presenting to leadership and taking accountability for the outcome.
- Ability to translate "performance-speak" into easy-to-digest concepts and work effectively with various stakeholders to achieve unified business goals
- Have strong Excel skills with experience building models, multi-function formulas and graphs and basic SQL.
