DoorDash is hiring a Senior Manager, US Indirect Tax Controversy. This is a United States – Remote role; you will be able to work remotely, based within the US, with limited travel for team events, offsites, and select audit meetings. The Tax Controversy team serves DoorDash by producing excellent controversy outcomes, providing timely and accurate information on material risks to the business, and improving the tax team with actionable feedback from audits. As DoorDash’s business has grown across the United States and the world, so have its tax audits and appeals.

You will report to the leader of the US Indirect Tax Controversy function and work alongside a Manager who manages audits and an Associate Manager who owns the team’s data and analytics. You will engage with partners across Tax Compliance, Accounting, Tax Tech, and Planning.

About the Role

This role is responsible for the execution of DoorDash’s portfolio of US indirect tax audits — sales and use tax, gross receipts taxes, property taxes, and business license taxes. You will own how that work gets done: the audit management process, the reporting that tells the tax department where we stand, and the cross-functional channels that supply the facts, data, and documents our audits depend on. This role requires judgement. Our audits can turn on unsettled questions. You will direct the methods, the positions, and the evaluation criteria for defending these matters. You will act independently on new and unusual matters, direct the work of others on the team without carrying people-management responsibility, and carry a select portfolio of audits yourself.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Own execution across the full US indirect tax audit portfolio
• Make the portfolio legible: design and sustain the trackers, cadences, and metrics that turn dozens of concurrent audits into a clear picture
• Build the network that audits run on: strong, cross-functional channels across Tax Compliance, Tax Tech, Accounting, Planning, and Operations
• Resolve controversies: set defense strategy, negotiate with state and local auditors, and bring matters to resolution
• Surface the issues that change decisions elsewhere: identify high-impact audit issues early
• Be a senior voice on the team: mentor a Manager and an Associate Manager, review their work, and set the standard for audit craft

We’re excited about you because…

• You have 8+ years of professional experience in state and local tax audits, controversy, or compliance
• You have managed audits end to end with state and local auditors, including information document requests
• You are a process owner by instinct: you have built the tracker, the cadence, or the reporting package
• You defend unsettled positions: you can describe a matter where the law was unclear and the facts were contested
• You thoroughly understand sales and use taxes, including marketplace facilitator laws
• You are resourceful and persistent in getting what an audit needs
• You are an enthusiastic user of modern AI tools (e.g., Claude) in a professional context
• You have a strong moral compass and compassion for others
• You have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree. A CPA, CMI, MST, or equivalent credential is a plus.

We expect this position to be filled by 11/30/2026.

Compensation: The national base pay range for this position within the United States is $155,000-$228,000 USD. In addition to base salary, the compensation for this role includes opportunities for equity grants. DoorDash offers a comprehensive benefits package, flexible paid time off/vacation, plus 80 hours of paid sick time per year for salaried roles.
