We are a diverse group of lawyers and legal professionals with a shared passion for providing creative, best-in-class service to our business partners. The Competition & Litigation team advises DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo on antitrust, competition, and litigation matters across every market we operate in. ABOUT THE ROLE DoorDash is looking for a Senior Counsel, Competition & Litigation to join our growing Legal team and work globally across the DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo brands. Reporting to the Director, Competition & Litigation, you’ll be a generalist antitrust attorney who can move fast: advising product and business teams in real time, supporting M&A and strategic investments alongside our Corporate Development team, and driving forward regulatory investigations and inquiries, with a particular focus on Europe. YOU’RE EXCITED ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE YOU WILL… * Serve as a trusted antitrust/competition advisor to product, business, and corporate development teams, delivering fast, practical counsel that lets the business move with velocity while properly managing risk. * Advise on the competition and antitrust dimensions of M&A transactions, strategic investments, and commercial partnerships, partnering closely with Corporate Development and our sales teams. * Manage antitrust and competition regulatory investigations and inquiries globally. * Help build out DoorDash’s international competition compliance program, partnering with the Director, Competition & Litigation on training, policies, and processes across DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo. * Support competition-related litigation matters as needed, including document collection and review, witness preparation, and responses to third-party subpoenas. * Partner with policy and government relations teams to track legal and regulatory developments that could affect the business. WE’RE EXCITED ABOUT YOU BECAUSE… * You have a J.D. and are qualified to practice law (bar admission required). * You have 7-9+ years of experience at a leading law firm and/or in-house legal department, with a strong grounding in antitrust/competition law as a generalist — spanning M&A counseling, litigation, and regulatory/government investigations. * You have experience advising on competition issues in mergers, acquisitions, and strategic investments, including regulatory filings and clearance strategy. * You have experience handling antitrust/competition regulatory inquiries or investigations, ideally including direct engagement with regulators such as the European Commission, UK CMA, DOJ, FTC, or other competition authorities. * You’re comfortable operating as a generalist across a broad portfolio — you don’t need deep pre-existing expertise in every sub-area, but you can quickly get up to speed and give practical, business-minded advice. * You’re an excellent product counselor: able to translate complex antitrust concepts into clear, fast, actionable guidance for product and business teams. * You’re comfortable working across multiple jurisdictions and legal systems, and can navigate the added complexity of advising across three global brands (DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo). * You have strong organizational skills and can juggle multiple concurrent workstreams in a fast-moving environment, both independently and as part of a team. * You’re an outstanding communicator, both orally and in writing, with sound judgment on when to escalate and when to move forward independently. NICE TO HAVES * Prior in-house experience at a technology, marketplace, or platform company. * Direct experience practicing before or engaging with the European Commission, UK CMA, or other non-US competition authorities. * Additional language fluency relevant to European markets. * Litigation experience, including depositions, trial preparation, or appellate work.
