We’re transforming the grocery industry

At Instacart, we invite the world to share love through food because we believe everyone should have access to the food they love and more time to enjoy it together.

Instacart has become a lifeline for millions of people, and we’re building the team to help push our shopping cart forward. If you’re ready to do the best work of your life, come join our table.

There’s no one-size fits all approach to how we do our best work. Our employees have the flexibility to choose where they do their best work—whether it’s from home, an office, or your favorite coffee shop—while staying connected and building community through regular in-person events.

Overview

Instacart’s Retailer Platform team powers the white‑label storefronts and tools that help leading retailers build compelling, on-brand e-commerce experiences. We’re hiring a Senior Product Manager to own the vision and roadmap for site theming and visual merchandising tools that let retailers express their brand, curate their storefronts, and drive conversion at scale.

In this high-visibility role, you’ll partner closely with a few of our largest retailers to co-develop features that unlock meaningful growth, aligning 5+ teams to deliver commitments that support $1B+ in Gross Transaction Value. You’ll collaborate daily across Core R&D (Data Science & Analytics, Research, two Design counterparts, Engineering, TPM) and work hand-in-hand with our Commercial org (Business Development, Merchant & Sales Partnerships Strategy, Solutions Architects, Professional Services) to bring platform capabilities to life.

If you thrive in fast-paced, highly collaborative environments, enjoy shaping 0→1 platforms and scaling them 1→N, and want to have a direct, highly visible impact on how millions of shoppers experience retailer brands online, this role offers courtside seats to the big game. This role is remote-friendly across the United States and Canada; San Francisco is preferred but not required.

About the Job

Define and drive a multi-year strategy and roadmap for Storefront Platform theming and merchandising tools (templates, components, style tokens, page builders, personalization) that differentiate retailer experiences and scale across partners.
Lead customer discovery with major retailers; translate brand and merchandising requirements into scalable, secure platform capabilities with clear guardrails, balancing flexibility with performance, accessibility, and SEO.
Own end-to-end execution across 5+ teams: write crisp PRDs, prioritize backlogs, sequence launches, and drive outcomes through metrics such as adoption, time-to-launch, conversion lift, and attach rate; run experiments and controlled ramps.
Partner with Design to evolve a storefront design system and WYSIWYG tooling, and with Engineering to define APIs/SDKs and internal tools that accelerate implementation and reduce ongoing maintenance.
Serve as the point person for executive and cross-functional communication; align stakeholders across R&D and Commercial, surface trade-offs, de-risk timelines, and ensure retailer commitments land on time with quality.
