• Conceptualize, draft, and advise on legislative and regulatory proposals covering a wide range of subject matter areas at the local, state, and federal levels, as well as in international jurisdictions.
• Identify legislative trends and develop strategies and policy proposals to further the interests of DoorDash and our communities.
• Collaborate with other members of the Public Policy Team and business units throughout the company -- from Product to Finance to Operations -- to develop DoorDash’s position on potential legislation and regulations.
• Engage with academics and think tanks to ensure DoorDash remains at the cutting edge of public policy debates on the issues that matter most to our business and our users.
• Represent DoorDash in conversations with elected officials and other policymakers.
• Work with counterparts at peer companies to build industry alignment on important policy issues facing the gig economy across the country.

We’re Excited About You Because…

• You have 5+ years of experience drafting and analyzing legislative proposals, regulations, and legal opinions.
• You are a Registered Member of at least one state Bar.
• Bonus points for employment law experience, experience in-house at a technology company, in government, and/or at a judicial clerkship.
• You have a J.D. with a strong academic record and a demonstrated record of success as a lawyer focusing on a wide range of legislative, regulatory, and constitutional issues.
• You are a self-starter who is intrinsically motivated and confident operating autonomously but also a good teammate.
