The delivery optimization manager (DOM) is responsible for supporting market growth by optimizing the inputs that impact Caviar’s delivery outcomes. Each DOM is responsible for owning operational performance and cost for multiple Caviar markets.

DOMs are strategists that diagnose and solve complex, market-specific problems with data-driven decision making, while owning the day-to-day and long-term implementation of delivery strategy in their assigned markets. DOMs collaborate closely with Live Operations Managers  and the Market Operations Specialist, who help execute the strategy set out by DOMs. DOMs also partner with stakeholders across the org – working with Restaurant Partnership Managers, Product Managers, and others. DOMs are part of a lean team where each person’s decisions can impact thousands of couriers and millions of orders.
