About the Team

Our Restaurant Account Management team sits at the heart of DoorDash’s mission to empower local businesses. As a Partner Manager, you’ll take full ownership of a portfolio of small to medium-sized restaurant partners across Australia - helping them grow, thrive, and win on the platform.

This isn’t just about support — it’s about strategy. You’ll work closely with operators to understand their goals, identify opportunities, and deliver results that matter. From product adoption to campaign planning, performance reviews to operational problem-solving — you’ll drive real business impact, fast.

You’ll also be part of a high-performing, collaborative team that values sharp thinking, strong execution, and shared wins. If you’re passionate about local food, tech, and helping businesses succeed, this is the place for impact! 

About the Role

As a Partner Manager on the SMB team, you’ll own a portfolio of high-potential restaurants and be directly responsible for their growth and success on the platform. You’ll act as a trusted partner to operators, working closely with them to improve performance, solve challenges, and unlock new opportunities.

This role blends commercial strategy with execution. You’ll lead data-backed business reviews, shape campaign plans, drive product adoption, and influence internal teams to get things done. You’ll also play a key role in strengthening our broader team sharing insights, supporting peers, and helping us raise the bar for merchant experience.

Partnership Managers know how to work independently and can effectively organise their time to be as impactful as possible in their own way.

This role will report directly to the Manager of SMB Partnerships, Australia. It is a Hybrid role with 3 days per week in-office.
