Why this role is on the menu
Instacart's Retail Partnerships team sits at the heart of how we grow the grocery ecosystem, and the MMI team's ability to deliver meaningful, measurable growth for retailers of all sizes depends on having a dedicated partner lead who owns those relationships end-to-end. Without this role, retail partners lack a primary strategic contact who can translate their goals into real outcomes on the platform, mobilize internal resources across product, operations, marketing, and analytics, and drive execution with the urgency and precision the portfolio demands. Twelve months from now, this person will have deepened partner relationships at the CEO and Owner level, turned complex data into clear strategic narratives that move people to action, and made Instacart an indispensable part of how their retailers grow.
What you'll cook up in your first year
- A portfolio of retail partners is managed with clear end-to-end ownership, high-quality support, and measurable long-term partnership success as the primary strategic contact at Instacart.
- Growth opportunities are identified, gaps are diagnosed, and cross-functional teams across product, engineering, marketing, operations, and strategic finance are coordinated to deliver solutions that move the needle for each partner.
- Platform data and partner performance metrics are translated into compelling strategic narratives and recommendations that land with retailer leadership up to the CEO and Owner level.
- Partnership plans are executed with ownership and urgency across multiple workstreams and a dynamic portfolio, delivering outcomes in a constantly evolving environment.
- Deep platform fluency across Instacart's capabilities, growth levers, and operational nuances enables credible partner engagement and confident execution across any situation that arises.

- Proven track record of driving measurable outcomes: revenue growth, product adoption, or operational improvements within an account portfolio
- Experience coordinating cross-functional teams or resources to deliver on partner or client commitments, without direct management authority
Optional garnishes (Preferred Qualifications)
