About the Team
The Identity and Access Management team enables secure, seamless access across DoorDash’s global engineering and business operations. Our mission is to make access simple, automated, and user-centric — reducing friction through self-service models while maintaining strong governance and compliance. We focus on streamlining joiner, mover, and leaver processes, modernizing access requests, and building scalable controls that prioritize both security and the end-user experience across a complex application landscape.
About the Role
This is a senior individual contributor role responsible for advancing a modern, automated, and user-centric Identity and Access Management program. They will improve how employees access the tools they need — making access faster, simpler, and more intuitive — while strengthening governance and audit readiness behind the scenes. In the first 90 days, they will assess current access processes, identify friction points, and begin delivering measurable improvements in automation, data quality, and lifecycle efficiency. Success in this role means enabling the business through scalable self-service access models that maintain strong compliance without slowing teams down.
You will report into the Global Head of Identity and Access Management in our Security organization.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…
- Design and improve automated, self-service access models that reduce manual effort and simplify the employee experience.
- Partner with Engineering, Security, and Governance teams to embed scalable access controls directly into systems and workflows.
- Use data and automation to identify friction in access processes and implement practical, user-focused improvements.
- Strengthen joiner, mover, and leaver processes to ensure timely, accurate access aligned to business roles.
- Evolve access governance toward role-based and attribute-based models that scale with company growth.
We’re excited about you because…
- You have 8+ years of experience in Identity and Access Management, Security Governance, or a related field, including ownership of user access reviews and lifecycle controls in a Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) regulated environment.
- You have demonstrated strong problem-solving skills and hands-on experience designing or improving access governance processes, including role-based or attribute-based access control models and segregation of duties considerations.
- You are comfortable working with identity platforms such as Okta and access governance tools such as ConductorOne or similar technologies.
- You have a strong analytical background and experience automating manual processes, using data to evaluate control effectiveness, improve user experience, and identify risk.
- You have experience partnering with Engineering and IT teams and can translate security and compliance requirements into practical, scalable solutions with minimal operational friction.
