About The Team

We are building a more efficient, intelligent, and AI-enabled People Operating System. As a Senior People Transformation Strategist, you will lead the design and execution of transformation initiatives that fundamentally reshape how the People function operates at DoorDash and Wolt.

About The Role

This is not a role for someone who optimizes at the margins. The first hire in this function will help define how this team operates — bringing both the discipline to execute and the judgment to shape what we build. You'll own significant workstreams within a broader transformation roadmap, diagnosing structural inefficiencies, redesigning processes end-to-end, and implementing scalable, AI-enabled solutions that change how work gets done across the organization.

This role is equal parts strategic design, execution, and change leadership: success is not just delivering solutions, but ensuring they are adopted and deliver measurable, lasting impact. You will partner closely with COEs, People Business Partners, Product, Engineering, and Operations teams globally, and report to the Senior Manager, People Process Transformation and Continuous Improvement. Success in this role looks like: faster, simpler processes; high adoption of new ways of working; clear, measurable improvements in efficiency, quality, and employee experience — and a People function that is increasingly built for an AI-first environment.
