Manager, Compliance Assurance & Automation

DoorDash is hiring an experienced compliance auditor to help us build a new compliance second-line-of-defense function that will redefine how compliance assurance is done. This high-visibility role will focus on translating regulatory requirements into actionable controls and leveraging automation to prove that they work in practice. You will work closely with legal, product, engineering, policy, operations, and business teams to ensure compliance with legal regulatory requirements and internal policies.

About the Role

As a Manager of Compliance Assurance, you will pioneer a new strategy to second-line-of defense and drive DoorDash’s Legal product compliance function to ensure that our processes, frameworks, and controls meet regulatory standards. You will leverage automation to test and monitor controls, conduct audits of compliance programs and policies, and support remediation efforts. This will be a hands-on role in which you will develop scalable compliance approaches and own the compliance register, deliver detailed reporting, and drive continuous improvements in our compliance workflows.

We’re looking for someone with a strong work ethic, excellent analytical and communication skills, and the ability to execute at the lowest level of detail while collaborating effectively across teams. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, is detail-oriented, and brings creativity and problem-solving skills to compliance challenges.
