At DoorDash, we’re building the industry’s most scalable and reliable delivery network to support our three-sided marketplace of consumers, merchants, and Dashers. Our Engineering Enablement team is looking for a program manager who will support the operations, content and evolution of the DoorDash Engineering Bootcamp program, which supports the onboarding of Engineering new hires who rapidly gain expertise in our tools, development environment, and engineering culture for their first two weeks before joining their “home” engineering team. 

About the Team

The Engineering Enablement team’s mission is to elevate the productivity, capabilities and unity of the DoorDash Engineering organization. We have a passion for trailblazing and driving creative solutions, often in the form of key programs and resources. The team acts as a trusted partner to our Engineering leadership, central People and Workplace teams, and our efforts directly contribute to building a scalable engineering organization that supports our company roadmap.

About the Role

As a Program Manager, you will operate and evolve the existing Bootcamp program, acting as both the program’s primary facilitator, interfacing with all participating facilitators and content managers, and overseeing logistical aspects of the Engineering new hire experience.

Based on the evolving needs of the organization, your wide range of skills and interests will afford you the opportunity to be constantly learning and delivering impact as you shape and drive strategic projects.

• Manage expectations of all stakeholders from leadership to individual teams, use your strong problem solving skills, and earn trust of partners and teams. This includes managing timely and succinct communications to leadership and across teams to ensure accountability and timeline management.

We’re excited about you because…

• You have 3+ years of experience as a program manager, with a proven track record of building, driving and scaling onboarding programs, preferably within an Engineering team or technology company.
