We’re looking for a Senior Manager, People Operations & HR Compliance to join our London team. This is a hybrid role.

Get to know our People team — what drives us, how we work, and what you can expect.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be joining the Global People Operations team. The Global HR Compliance team is a critical capability within Global People Operations, owning the strategy, governance, and execution of employment compliance across the DoorDash brand ecosystem. This is a high-impact team operating at the intersection of legal obligation and people strategy, partnering closely with Legal, People Business Partners, Compensation, People Services, and People Technology to ensure that how we operate as an employer reflects both our values and our obligations. You’ll lead and grow an existing team of experienced compliance professionals and report directly to the Sr. Director, Head of Global People Operations, serving also as a strategic partner and right hand on the highest-priority cross-functional people operations initiatives.
Here’s what your day-to-day might look like:
Define and own the global HR compliance strategy establishing a clear vision, operating model, and multi-year roadmap that is well understood across the People team and actively aligned to business priorities across the brand ecosystem.
Lead, develop, and grow the global HR Compliance team, setting clear goals, creating mechanisms to communicate progress, and building a high-trust function that is known for proactive partnership rather than reactive oversight.
Drive the execution of a robust compliance program across core domains including SOX hire-to-retire controls, legislation management, mandated compliance reporting, employment handbook and policy governance, background checks, work authorisation, wage and hour, leave of absence, and employee data privacy ensuring consistent coverage across all geographies and brands.
Embed AI and automation into the core workflows of the compliance function using technology to enhance monitoring, streamline documentation, surface risk earlier, and scale the team’s capacity to operate proactively across a complex, global landscape.
Build and maintain strong cross-functional partnerships with Employment Legal, People Business Partners, Compensation, and People Technology creating clear engagement models so that the right stakeholders know when and how to activate the Global HR Compliance team.
Develop governance mechanisms and compliance reporting that provide transparency into program health, surface emerging risks, and demonstrate measurable impact across the compliance roadmap—creating clear visibility for People leadership and key cross-functional partners.
Serve as a strategic partner and right hand to the Sr. Director, Head of Global People Operations—driving operating rhythm, cross-functional prioritisation, and alignment across the Global People Operations leadership team on the highest-priority initiatives.
What You’ll Need to Thrive
Our ideal candidate will bring strong expertise in some of these areas and curiosity to grow in others:
Significant experience leading HR compliance or employment law programs in a high-growth, global technology company or similar fast-paced environment—with a strong track record of building and leading compliance functions at scale.
