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.
There’s no one-size fits all approach to how we do our best work. Our employees have the flexibility to choose where they do their best work—whether it’s from home, an office, or your favorite coffee shop—while staying connected and building community through regular in-person events. Learn more about our flexible approach to where we work.
The Associate Product Operations Manager (APOM) is the delivery layer of Product Ops. That means you own your workstreams from intake to handoff, with the kind of discipline and rigor that makes downstream teams trust what comes from you.
The core scope includes: PCR intake and triage, Product Enablement Package (PEP) production, and launch readiness. You run the PCR lifecycle with quality and care. You write PEPs that people actually use. You take pride in clean handoffs.
This is a rotation-based role. Every 6-12 months you move to a new vertical pod: Consumer, Shopper, Enterprise. You build real product sense across all of them. Each rotation is a workstream you own end-to-end, not a support assignment. That breadth is what sets you up for the next level.
AI fluency isn't optional, but instead it's how the team works and works faster. You use AI tools regularly to accelerate your core deliverables, and you know the difference between a draft that's ready and one that still needs your judgment.
Product Operations is organized into three pillars: Vertical Partnership Pods, Intelligence & Systems (the Horizontal), and the Enablement Team. This role is within the Enablement Team.
The Enablement Team is the shared engine that keeps launches moving. It's a centralized pool of team members, deployed to wherever priorities are highest. We execute inside the verticals, use the infrastructure the Horizontal builds, and feed back the cross-domain patterns we see across rotations. Our work is foundational to the team's promise of making outcomes more likely, faster, and more durable.
Your manager manages your deployments and development. Your pod partners are your day-to-day collaborators. The Horizontal is the infrastructure team and your systems partner.

US employees can work remotely from any state except Alaska and the US Territories, and Canadian employees from Ontario, Alberta, or British Columbia. Instacart has no return-to-office date, though a small set of roles such as Workplace Managers, IT, and Regional Ops must work from a specific location or time zone.
Yes. Instacart keeps offices in San Francisco (its headquarters), Toronto, and New York City, and they are open to all employees to drop in whenever they choose. Working from an office is optional for most roles under the Flex First model.
Through Team Jams, in-person gatherings held a few times a year at the team, department, or company level, plus company-wide events. Attendance is optional and Instacart covers all travel expenses for these get-togethers.
Flex First includes a stipend to outfit your work-from-home setup and monthly internet reimbursements. Employees also get a monthly $100 personal wellness stipend, or the local equivalent, on top of the setup support.
Recent openings skew heavily toward engineering, machine learning, and data science, alongside product, sales, finance, and people teams. Most postings are listed as remote across the United States and Canada, often as paired US and Canadian listings for the same role.
