• Regularly represent Instacart externally to the world’s largest retailers as an innovation partner.
• Identify what it takes to win in the enterprise segment in order to acquire and grow the world’s largest retailers.
• Act as a vocal champion for enterprise customers, helping platform teams translate their needs into scalable product solutions.
• Partner closely with Sales and Marketing to shape collateral and narratives that drive enterprise go‑to‑market success.
• Identify launch requirements and lead alignment across PM, engineering, and GTM teams on what we will support, when, and how within our broader enterprise platform strategy.
• Drive cross‑functional alignment on complex retailer requirements to win deals and support retailer‑driven innovation roadmaps.
• Deliver operational excellence by ensuring enterprise launches execute on time and deliver measurable business value.
• Mentor senior and mid‑level PMs in mastering enterprise and outbound product strategy.
