Overview
This role offers a unique opportunity to lead Instacart’s most complex, high-visibility, and strategically important programs at the intersection of technical strategy and execution. As a Staff Technical Program Manager, you will define program strategy, architect execution approaches for ambiguous and cross-cutting initiatives, and partner with executives to deliver outcomes that shape the future of our products, platform, and 4-sided marketplace.
You will join our Technical Program Management team within Engineering, a trusted group that brings Product, Engineering, Data Science, Design, and Business partners together to solve big problems. We’re a hands-on, highly collaborative team that rolls up our sleeves to drive alignment, unravel dependencies, and raise the bar for operational excellence across the company. The immediate TPM team consists of 12 TPMs within a broader 25-person TPM organization, providing a deep bench of peers for thought partnership and mentorship.
A key focus for this role is to evolve our global enterprise fulfillment platform—building on the capabilities and client base brought together through the Instaleap acquisition—to deliver a unified, international offering for retailers across North America, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, love turning ambiguity into clarity, and are excited to drive impact across an international, multi-product platform, we’d love to meet you.
