Senior Manager, Identity & Access Management
DoorDash USA · New York, NY
About this role
**Senior Manager, Identity & Access Management** **About the Team** The Identity and Access Management (IAM) 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 solutions while maintaining strong governance and compliance. We streamline identity lifecycle processes, modernize access governance, and build scalable controls that help employees and engineers work efficiently and securely. **About the Role** We’re looking for a hands-on IAM leader who can turn strategy into tangible outcomes—combining technical implementation, control ownership, and team leadership. With a global remit, you’ll partner closely with the UK-based Global Head of IAM to execute our strategy, lead delivery, resolve operational challenges, and support stakeholders across US time zones. In your first 60 days, you’ll independently deliver measurable improvements in areas such as access governance, audit remediation, lifecycle controls, or automation. After an initial onboarding period, you’ll take responsibility for managing and growing the US IAM engineering team. You’ll report into the **Global Head of Identity and Access Management** within the **Identity and Access Management** team in **Security**. **You’ll be excited about this opportunity because you will…** - **Build solutions, not just designs:** Architect, configure, and implement IAM improvements using identity platforms, APIs, scripting, and automation—delivering minimum viable solutions quickly while progressing toward scalable strategic designs. - **Enable the business:** Simplify access processes through automation, self-service, and data-driven improvements that reduce friction while maintaining appropriate security controls. - **Lead IAM delivery in the US:** Independently prioritize and resolve operational challenges, make risk-informed decisions, deliver against global IAM objectives, and build/develop a high-performing engineering team. - **Create compliance by design:** Build agile, automated IAM solutions that meet security and audit requirements by default—embedding controls into everyday workflows rather than relying on manual checks and retrospective remediation. - **Shape the future of identity:** Advance role-based and attribute-based access models, and explore emerging opportunities in non-human identity and AI agent governance. **We’re excited about you because…** - You have **8+ years of IAM experience**, including hands-on ownership of user access reviews, identity lifecycle controls, **SoX audit evidence**, and remediation of control deficiencies. - You have proven technical implementation experience configuring IAM platforms such as **Okta, ConductorOne, Saviynt, SailPoint**, or similar tools, and using scripting, APIs, or automation to deliver working solutions. - You can take ambiguous IAM problems from assessment through design to implementation—balancing immediate risk remediation with long-term scalability and measurable outcomes. - You’ve led technical teams and influenced cross-functional stakeholders, with the ability to independently set priorities, make decisions, and stay actively involved in engineering and operational delivery. - You bring strong analytical and problem-solving skills—using data to identify control gaps, improve processes, measure outcomes, and balance security, compliance, and user experience. **Co
