Live Operations Jobs in Arizona (NOW HIRING)

About the Team
The Dasher & Logistics team is responsible for ensuring every delivery is completed with speed, accuracy, and a high-quality experience for Consumers, Merchants, and Dashers.
The Global Live Operations team serves as the execution arm of the Live Operations Strategy & Operations (S&O) team, supporting real-time decision-making and operational continuity across the marketplace.
We partner closely with S&O stakeholders to execute structured workflows, monitor live operations, and respond to disruptions such as severe weather, holidays, and demand spikes-ensuring strategic decisions are implemented accurately and consistently in real time.
About the Role
As a Team Lead on the Global Live Operations team, you will manage a small team of Specialists responsible for executing structured, real-time workflows that support DoorDash's logistics operations.
This is a highly execution-focused, player-coach role. You will oversee daily operations, ensure workflows are completed accurately and consistently, and step in directly when needed-especially during high-impact events or when coverage is limited.
You will maintain a high bar for performance, reinforce consistent execution of playbooks, and address issues in real time. You will be managing performance in a high-volume, repetitive workflow environment where consistency and attention to detail are critical.
Success in this role requires strong prioritization, attention to detail, and the ability to lead a team operating in a fast-paced, shift-based environment.
You will report to an S&O Associate Manager.
You're excited about this opportunity because you will...

• Manage your team's execution of recurring workflows that support delivery quality and marketplace health
• Step in to execute workflows directly during peak periods, complex situations, or when coverage is limited
• Ensure consistent, high-quality execution of manual workflows by implementing checks, audits, and processes/systems to reduce errors
• Monitor team performance and address gaps through direct, data-driven feedback and performance management
• Act as the point of escalation during operational disruptions (e.g., weather, holidays), making timely decisions under pressure
• Set clear priorities across competing tasks and ensure ownership is defined so nothing falls through the cracks
• Identify opportunities to reduce errors, improve efficiency, and enhance workflows through better tooling or automation
• Communicate clearly with cross-functional partners and support new workflows or operational initiatives

What Success Looks Like
In this role, success looks like:

• Consistent, accurate execution of daily workflows with minimal errors
• A team that operates with clear ownership, strong discipline, and accountability
• Effective prioritization and decision-making during high-pressure or low-coverage situations
• Timely and clear communication with cross-functional partners
• Continuous improvements that reduce manual errors and increase operational efficiency

We're excited about you because...

• You have 3-5 years of experience, with at least 1+ years managing hourly, shift-based, or support teams in high-volume environments (e.g., logistics, customer support, marketplaces)
• You are a hands-on operator who is comfortable stepping in to execute work, not just managing from a distance
• You are highly detail-oriented and have experience improving accuracy in repetitive or process-driven work
• You have experience managing structured, process-driven work where accuracy and consistency are critical
• You are comfortable operating in fast-paced, time-sensitive environments and making real-time decisions with limited information
• You are confident holding a high bar and having direct, sometimes difficult performance conversations
• You have strong organizational and prioritization skills, and can manage multiple workflows simultaneously
• You communicate clearly and effectively with both your team and cross-functional partners
• You are comfortable working with spreadsheets (Excel or Google Sheets) and using data to identify trends or issues (SQL is a plus)
• You are willing to work a flexible schedule, including weekends and holidays, to support a 24/7 operation
