Overview

About the Role:  We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to shape how some of the world's largest retailers manage and grow their digital businesses on Instacart.

You'll own Retailer App as a platform, building a consumer-grade experience where retailers can easily manage their storefronts, discover and adopt new capabilities, and take greater control of their businesses. You'll also build the foundations that enable product teams across Instacart to deliver great retailer experiences quickly, consistently, and safely.

In parallel, you'll own Analytics & Insights, one of Retailer App's core products, transforming retailer data into actionable insights that help retailers grow.

Across both areas, you'll set a compelling multi-half product vision and strategy, translating customer needs into differentiated products and measurable outcomes. You'll be expected to operate with exceptional ownership and velocity, driving complex initiatives from ambiguity to launch, aligning teams across Product, Design, Engineering, and Data, and working directly with leading enterprise retailers to uncover needs and deliver scalable solutions.

This role offers a unique combination of platform-wide influence, end-to-end product ownership, and direct business impact — with the opportunity to define the next generation of retailer tools.

About the Team - Instacart’s Enterprise Platform team is responsible for the white-label product that enables retailers of all sizes to compete online through their own ecommerce experiences.

Empower retailers through self-service: Build intuitive self-service experiences that allow retailers to explore, configure, and manage their storefront capabilities with greater flexibility, transparency, and control.

Enable teams to build fast and safely: Establish reusable components, templates, common UX patterns, and governance frameworks that help product teams ship high-quality, consistent retailer experiences with speed and confidence.

Own the end-to-end experience: Set the vision and standards for Retailer App across product teams, ensuring individual features come together into one coherent, exceptional experience rather than a collection of disconnected tools.

Product Leadership, Execution & Collaboration

Set product direction: Define a compelling multi-half vision and strategy, translating customer needs and emerging technologies into a pragmatic roadmap with measurable outcomes.

Execute with speed and ownership: Independently drive complex initiatives from ambiguity to launch, making smart tradeoffs and delivering high-quality products with exceptional throughput.

Lead across teams: Influence and align a broad set of cross-functional stakeholders, navigating competing priorities and driving decisions without direct authority.

Build in deep partnership: Work closely with Design, Engineering, Data, and other product teams to deliver cohesive experiences across a complex platform.
