DoorDash & Wolt’s Global Talent Intelligence (GTI) function is a brand-new pillar inside Workforce Strategy & Recruiting Operations (RecOps). Our charter is simple but sweeping: turn external labor-market noise into crisp, actionable intelligence that helps TA, Finance, and business leaders hire the right talent, in the right place, at the right cost—first. We own everything “outside the walls” of DoorDash: competitor movement, supply-and-demand signals, location cost curves, skills trends, and employer-brand positioning.

Reporting to the Sr. Manager, Workforce Strategy and Planning, the Manager, Global Talent Intelligence is our resident market-intelligence authority. You will design, run, and continuously improve the GTI program—hands-on with the data, deep in the methodology, and shoulder-to-shoulder with partners and leaders across the Business, Recruiting, Finance, Compensation. You own the “outside-in” lens: real-time market monitoring, location benchmarking, and competitor talent analytics that directly upgrade Locations strategy, sourcing strategy and executive decision-making.

Turn data into decisions: create concise, compelling narratives that inform nine-figure labor-cost and location bets. Own real-time market intelligence: track competitor moves, talent-supply shifts, and pay trends, surfacing insights that recruiters deploy immediately. Drive location strategy: publish data-rich scorecards on where to open, scale, or consolidate global sites, partnering with Real Estate and Finance. Coach and raise the bar: mentor analysts, set methodological standards, and foster a culture of curiosity and integrity in data use. Embed intelligence in workflows: partner with People Analytics to weave external intel into dashboards, ATS, and recruiter playbooks. Run the business cadence: lead weekly, monthly, and quarterly reviews; facilitate retros to keep methods sharp and insights relevant. Operate on a global canvas: influence talent strategy across ~30 countries—and counting. We’re excited about you because you… Bring 5–8 years in talent intelligence, labor-market research, or competitive intelligence, with a global lens. Are a master storyteller—able to distill complex datasets into executive-ready narratives and present confidently to VP/C-suite audiences. Have proven vision-setting chops—you’ve stood up new capabilities or programs and driven adoption across functions.
