Get Access To All JobsAbout The Team
The Emerging Markets team promotes growth in local economies by building meaningful partnerships with merchants across underdeveloped, high-opportunity markets. We focus on T4–T5 geographies—one of DoorDash’s highest company priorities, representing over 40% of remaining restaurant opportunities as we expand beyond core cities and suburbs. Our team creates first connections with SMB restaurants and retailers, helping them grow and monetize through on-demand delivery.
About The Role
We are looking for a motivated Account Executive (EMAE) to join our Emerging Markets org. As an Account Executive, you will be responsible for owning the full sales cycle and bringing high-potential SMB merchants in emerging markets onto the DoorDash platform. This role is fast-paced, highly outbound, and quota-carrying. You will manage a dedicated lead list of ~225 merchants, spend the majority of your day cold calling, and drive a structured, repeatable process to pitch, consult, and close new partners on our platform. You will report to an Inside Sales Manager who is committed to your success, offering ongoing coaching, development, and pathways for growth. We expect this role to be flexible, with some time in office and some time remote. You will need the ability to travel as needed for in-person collaboration through training, offsites, team-building events, and other business-related necessities.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…
- Transform how small and mid-size merchants in emerging markets grow using DoorDash’s platform
- Manage a high-volume, outbound-led workflow, including extensive daily cold calling
- Work a structured pipeline of ~225 assigned leads and own a quarterly sales quota
- Creatively engage merchants and build trusted relationships across lower-density geographies
- Master sales tools and outreach channels to drive lead conversion
- Operate in a fast-paced environment with clear daily and weekly activity expectations
- Participate in Prep Kitchen, DoorDash’s structured inside-sales training program
- Grow your sales career through continuous coaching and performance development
We’re excited about you because…
- You have at least 1+ years of outbound sales experience, ideally in a short-cycle environment
- You have proven experience running full sales cycles from prospecting → discovery → pitch → close
- You have demonstrated success in high-volume outreach and pipeline generation
- You have strong cold-calling skills and comfort working under pressure
- You have excellent communication skills (written and verbal)
- You consistently hit or exceeded sales targets
- You embody DoorDash’s Core Values and thrive in a fast-paced environment
- You have a coachable mindset — you welcome feedback, learn fast, and adapt with ease
Nice-to-Have-Skills
- Experience in sales, customer service, hospitality, or restaurant environments
- Prior outbound cold calling experience with activity-based KPIs
- Exposure to the on-demand delivery, logistics, or restaurant-tech ecosystem
- Multilingual skills to support diverse merchant audiences

Align your experience to DoorDash's merchant segments
DoorDash structures BD around verticals like restaurants, grocery, and convenience. Frame your resume around partnership pipeline, merchant acquisition, or category expansion rather than generic sales, so your background maps to their actual team structure.
Confirm your visa type before applying
DoorDash sponsors multiple work visa categories for BD roles. Knowing whether your situation calls for an H-1B, E-3, TN, or O-1 visa before you apply helps you answer recruiter questions clearly and avoids delays in the offer stage.
Prepare a specialty occupation narrative early
USCIS requires H-1B petitions to demonstrate the role qualifies as a specialty occupation. For BD Executive positions, document how your degree in business, economics, or a related field is directly required, not just preferred, for the work you'll perform.
Target DoorDash's enterprise and partner teams specifically
BD roles at DoorDash that involve complex contract negotiations, national account management, or platform integrations tend to have clearer specialty occupation arguments. Prioritize these postings when reviewing open roles, as they strengthen a visa petition.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open BD roles by sponsorship type
DoorDash posts BD Executive openings across multiple locations and seniority levels. Use Migrate Mate to filter positions by the visa category you need, so you're only spending time on roles where your sponsorship situation is already a fit.
Negotiate timeline expectations around DOL and USCIS processing
Once DoorDash extends an offer, your start date depends on LCA certification from DOL and, for H-1B transfers or new filings, USCIS processing. Build at least eight to twelve weeks into your expected start date and communicate this upfront with your recruiter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does DoorDash sponsor H-1B visas for Business Development Executives?
Yes, DoorDash sponsors H-1B visas for Business Development Executive roles. The process requires DoorDash to file a Labor Condition Application with the DOL and then submit an I-129 petition to USCIS on your behalf. If you're already on an H-1B with another employer, DoorDash can file an H-1B transfer, which lets you start work as soon as the petition is received by USCIS.
Which visa types does DoorDash commonly sponsor for Business Development Executive roles?
DoorDash sponsors a range of visa categories for BD Executive positions, including H-1B, H-1B1 visa for Chilean and Singaporean nationals, E-3 visa for Australian citizens, TN visa for Canadian and Mexican professionals, and F-1 OPT and CPT for students in eligible degree programs. Green Card sponsorship through EB-2 or EB-3 is also available for qualifying candidates in long-term roles.
What qualifications does DoorDash expect for Business Development Executive positions?
DoorDash typically looks for candidates with experience in partnership development, enterprise sales, or account management, ideally within technology, marketplace, or consumer-facing platforms. A bachelor's degree in business, economics, marketing, or a closely related field is generally expected. For visa purposes, the degree field needs to directly relate to the BD function you'll be performing, which matters for H-1B specialty occupation classification.
How do I apply for Business Development Executive jobs at DoorDash?
You can browse and apply for Business Development Executive roles at DoorDash through Migrate Mate, which filters open positions by visa sponsorship type so you can confirm DoorDash is sponsoring your specific category before you apply. Applications typically involve an initial recruiter screen, followed by case study or deal strategy assessments, and then a series of interviews with the BD and cross-functional team.
How do I manage the timing between a DoorDash offer and my visa filing?
After accepting an offer, DoorDash's immigration team or outside counsel initiates the LCA filing with DOL, which takes around seven business days under standard processing. USCIS then processes the H-1B petition, with premium processing available for a roughly 15-business-day turnaround. If you're on OPT with a STEM extension, cap-gap rules may protect your status through the October 1 start date if you're in an active H-1B lottery selection.
