Copywriter

DoorDash Bilingual Copywriter (English/Spanish) Location: Remote (U.S.-based) Type: Contract Duration: 1 quarter
About the Role

DoorDash is looking for a bilingual copywriter (English/Spanish) to help shape how we show up across languages, audiences, and channels. This role plays a critical part in how DoorDash connects with Spanish-speaking audiences — and how our brand shows up consistently across multiple communities. You'll help ensure our voice remains clear, human, and confident across languages — while supporting campaigns that reach millions of customers, Dashers, and merchants. You'll spend dedicated time writing and consulting on Spanish-language campaigns — ensuring they feel culturally fluent, thoughtful, and unmistakably on-brand. You'll also contribute to integrated brand campaigns across consumer, Dasher, and merchant audiences. We're looking for someone who understands that brand voice is a strategic asset. Someone who can protect it, evolve it, and apply it consistently — whether translating a campaign, building lower-funnel assets, or shaping high-visibility brand moments. This role requires both creative judgment and operational discipline. You'll navigate complex trackers, layered stakeholder input, and evolving briefs — all while delivering high-quality work at speed.

Maintain a clear, conversational brand voice across languages and formats
Bring energy and intention to lower-funnel work — understanding that straightforward does not mean boring
Manage complex asset trackers and multi-surface campaign builds

Skill Set
