About the Role

As the Senior PM for Invoicing, you will own the vision and roadmap for Instacart\'s mission-critical platform, powering 90%+ of all orders and billions in transactions. Beyond building the financial backbone, this role also shapes how invoicing data comes to life for customers across checkout, order status, and receipts, ensuring totals, discounts, fees, and taxes are presented with clarity, trust, and consistency. You will also partner with Engineering, Data Science, Finance, Compliance, and Retail teams to drive a unified, platform-first vision for invoicing that powers innovative commerce experiences across Instacart and our retailers, both online and in-store.

About the Team

The Invoicing Platform team sits at the heart of Instacart’s Platform organization, building the financial backbone that powers 90%+ of all orders. You’ll join a team that cares deeply about building the financial backbone of Instacart and solving the most complex challenges across our ecosystem of customers, retailers, and partners. We’re thinkers and builders who anticipate where the industry, customers, and retailers are headed—and translate that vision into platform-first solutions that scale broadly. We believe in clarity, transparency, and collaboration, and celebrate resourcefulness, experimentation, and learning in the open. No challenge is too complex if it strengthens the platform, and no idea is off-limits if it helps us deliver trust, accuracy, and innovation at massive scale. If you love solving complex problems, thinking strategically about the future, and building systems with impact at massive scale, this is the team for you.

Responsibilities

• Own the vision and roadmap for Instacart’s Invoicing Platform — the financial backbone that powers 90%+ of all orders and billions in transactions annually.
• Serve as the guardian of the customer experience for Totals UX — shaping how subtotals, discounts, fees, and taxes are displayed across checkout, order status, and receipts. Partner with surface-owning teams to ensure clarity, transparency, performance, and trust in every customer interaction.
• Unify invoicing across online and in-store into a single modular platform that reduces complexity and accelerates innovation.
• Safeguard compliance and accuracy in tax, fees, and other regulatory requirements — protecting financial integrity and customer trust.
• Enable critical retailer integrations and settlements with accurate, timely invoicing data — partnering closely with R&D teams, Finance/Accounting, and Retail teams.
• Provide source-of-truth financial data powering downstream reporting, tax logs, affordability metrics, and quarterly earnings.
• Lead a cross-functional team (~15 engineers, DS, and Product Ops) to build scalable, extensible, high-performing systems.
• Bridge technical depth and business impact — partner with engineering to shape APIs, data models, and integrations while aligning with company-wide priorities.
• Communicate product strategy and progress with clarity — driving alignment and momentum across executives, internal stakeholders, and external partners.
• Champion innovation and continuous improvement in invoicing systems to support future customer, shopper, and retailer experiences.

About You

• Proven Product Leadership: 5+ years of product management experience, ideally owning complex, high-scale platforms or systems end-to-end (experience with financial, billing, transaction, or invoicing platforms a strong plus).
• Platform & Technical Fluency: Comfortable working in deeply technical domains; able to partner with engineering on tradeoffs, APIs, data models, system integrations, and platform architecture.
• Strategic Thinking & Roadmap Execution: Experience defining long-term platform strategy and roadmaps, balancing technical complexity, business impact, and scalability; proven track record of negotiating tradeoffs and delivering end-to-end execution.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration & Influence: Able to work effectively with Engineering, Product, Design, Data Science, Finance, Compliance, and external partners; experienced in managing and influencing multiple stakeholders to achieve alignment and business outcomes.
• Customer-Centric UX Ownership: Opinionated about how invoicing data (totals, discounts, fees, taxes) is displayed across customer-facing surfaces; able to safeguard clarity, transparency, and trust for our customers while collaborating with surface-owning teams.
• Analytical & Data-Driven: Strong analytical skills; able to define success metrics, monitor accuracy, and drive continuous improvement.
• Exceptional Communication: Able to translate complex technical and business concepts to both technical teams and senior leadership; excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Forward-Looking Platform Mindset: Experience unifying fragmented systems into scalable, modular platforms; able to anticipate future needs and build capabilities proactively.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in fast-paced e-commerce, fintech, or startup environments.
• Deep understanding of financial systems, invoicing, billing, payments, or tax, including regulatory compliance and data integrity at scale.
• Experience shaping multi-year platform strategies and influencing leadership alignment.
• Fluency in web technologies and modern platform design principles.
