Job Summary

The Workforce Management team's primary focus is to ensure we have the right people at the right time to get our customers connected to a live agent as quickly and reliably as possible. The team brings a people-first mindset paired with strategy and operations to achieve their goals. They move quickly, leverage first principles thinking, and focus on problem solving to ensure a seamless execution. Our team manages the workforce capacity planning, scheduling, and real-time operations for DoorDash's large and growing global network of in-house and BPO support centers, with the ultimate goal of delivering an outstanding customer experience as reliably as possible at scale.

As the Senior Manager of Workforce Management for Delivery Support Success, you will own workforce planning and performance across Dx Tier 1, Cx Tier 1, and Drive Tier 1 - spanning both captive and BPO sites. Your primary mandate is simple but critical: protect SLA outcomes while balancing efficiency, predictability, and stability across a large, multi-vendor network.

You'll drive long-term and short-term workforce planning through capacity plans and scheduling coverage, own full SLA management, and manage BPO vendor WFM relationships - holding partners accountable to staffing commitments and SLA targets. You'll be expected to know the mechanics of how we lose or save SLA points, whether through staffing gaps, occupancy imbalance, vendor underperformance, or intraday misses, and to act quickly to keep the operation on track.

This role requires strong cross-functional alignment with GSIO Network Ops, Partner Success, and the Delivery Support Success leader to keep supply aligned with demand and business priorities.



You'll also lead strategic projects focused on cost improvement and productivity - including chat concurrency, occupancy, and other throughput levers - that raise the bar across the network.

As a leader, you'll not only drive outcomes but also build and grow a high-performing team, developing talent and fostering an environment where people are empowered to deliver excellence while growing their skills and careers.

This role reports to the Director of Workforce Management.
