About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

A high-performing partnership portfolio with measurable results — each partnership in your book of business delivers against agreed objectives, with clear accountability for performance, contract compliance, and continuous improvement opportunities identified and acted on.
Renewed and renegotiated commercial agreements that unlock incremental value — you’ve led complex negotiations with Fortune 500 partners, developed deal models with Finance and Legal, and closed terms that reflect both Instacart’s business priorities and the partner’s strategic interests.
Cross-functional execution that keeps partnerships on track — Legal, Product, Marketing, Engineering, and Finance all know you as the connective tissue: the person who proactively surfaces issues, drives rapid resolution, and keeps partners informed with full transparency.
Trusted senior relationships across partner organizations — you’ve built credibility not just with day-to-day contacts but with senior leadership at each partner, and you represent Instacart externally at QBRs and industry conferences with authority and polish.
A multi-year strategic roadmap for your partnerships — you haven’t just managed what exists; you’ve identified new opportunities to go bigger, shaped the long-term vision for each relationship, and built alignment internally and externally on where these partnerships are headed.

Exceptional relationship management skills, with the ability to build trust at multiple levels of a partner organization and navigate difficult conversations with credibility and diplomacy.
