The Strategic Inside Sales team drives DoorDash's growth by acquiring and expanding partnerships with high-impact restaurant brands across key markets. The team focuses on more complex, higher-value opportunities, working with local and regional operators whose scale meaningfully shapes the marketplace. Through disciplined execution and a consultative approach, Strategic Inside Sales drives marketplace expansion by connecting high-impact restaurant partners to DoorDash's platform and solutions.

As a Strategic Account Executive (SAE), you will focus on acquiring high-value restaurant partners in DoorDash's most strategic markets. You'll own a high-velocity, transactional sales cycle prospecting, qualifying, pitching, and closing new merchants while building strong initial relationships that set the foundation for long-term partnerships.

In this role, you'll have the autonomy to manage your day, prioritize opportunities, and drive results against clear targets. You'll play a direct role in expanding DoorDash's merchant ecosystem by signing top-performing local and multi-regional restaurant brands and helping them successfully join the platform.

We expect this role to be flexible, with a mix of remote and in-office work. You will need the ability to travel as needed for in-person collaboration through trainings, offsites, team-building events, and other business-related necessities.

• 3+ years of experience: In inside sales or B2B sales, including success in a closing role
• Proven ability to consistently meet or exceed quota in a high-volume, transactional sales environment
• Experience managing more complex deals, including multi-location or higher-value SMB customers
