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. Where others see a simple need for grocery delivery, we see exciting complexity and endless opportunity to serve the varied needs of our community. We work to deliver an essential service that customers rely on to get their groceries and household goods, while also offering safe and flexible earnings opportunities to Instacart Personal Shoppers.
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.

Overview
The Instacart Brand Partnerships team is at the center of one of the most exciting transformations happening in retail media today. We work with brands across the CPG landscape to help them win at the digital shelf — connecting them to millions of shoppers actively purchasing groceries and everyday essentials online. The Emerging team moves fast, uses data to storytell, and genuinely believes that the brands we work with are building the future of how people discover and buy products.
About the Team
The challenger brands we work with are scrappy, ambitious, and already excited about what Instacart can do for them. We’re growing this segment rapidly, and this role sits right at the heart of that growth. In this role, you’ll build and nurture relationships with a portfolio of emerging brands — both those actively investing in the platform and those with untapped potential waiting to be unlocked. You’re not just managing accounts; you’re acting as a trusted advisor, owning the full advertising relationship and helping brands connect the dots between their growth goals and what Instacart’s ecosystem can deliver.
