Full Job Description
Why this role is on the menu

Instacart+ is Instacart's membership program, the connective tissue between the brand and its most loyal, high-value customers. With benefits like $0 delivery fees, partner perks, and exclusive savings, Instacart+ is the foundation of our long-term customer relationship strategy. Members shop more, spend more, and stay longer, and this role is responsible for making sure more customers become Instacart+ members and realize the benefits of doing so.

We're looking for a Senior Product Marketing Manager to own the full go-to-market strategy for Instacart+. You'll shape how we position, message, and grow the membership program from acquisition campaigns that convert first-timers to lifecycle strategies that deepen engagement with existing members. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role at the intersection of product, brand, and growth.

The ideal candidate has deep roots in subscription or loyalty marketing, having grown a membership program, driven retention through value communication, and knows how to make the math of membership feel like a no-brainer to a consumer. You bring both the analytical rigor to understand what's working and the storytelling instinct to make it resonate. This role reports to the Director, Consumer Product Marketing.

What you'll cook up in your first year
  • Own the Instacart+ differentiated positioning that sets it apart from competing membership and subscription offerings.
  • Members have a reason to stay: you've identified the moments where member value is highest and built messaging and lifecycle programs that bring those moments to life across email, push, in-app, and paid.
  • Acquisition is measurably stronger: you've partnered with growth and performance marketing teams to develop and test messaging frameworks that convert trial users and lapsed members into committed subscribers.
  • The product roadmap reflects member insights: you've become the internal voice of the Instacart+ member, bringing qualitative and quantitative research into roadmap conversations that shape what gets built next.
  • New Instacart+ features launch with best-in-class GTM plans: you own the brief, the messaging, and the channel strategy from kickoff through post-launch performance review.
  • Senior stakeholders and XFN partners trust you as the category expert: you've developed a compelling POV on the subscription and loyalty landscape and use it to sharpen the Instacart+ strategy.


The secret ingredients we're looking for

Must-have pantry staples

Minimum Qualifications
  • 8+ years of progressive experience in marketing, with at least 4+ years in product marketing; experience at a consumer tech company is strongly preferred.
  • Demonstrated track record owning GTM strategy for a subscription, membership, or loyalty program, from positioning through lifecycle, with measurable results.
  • Deep fluency in subscription/loyalty marketing mechanics: you understand member acquisition, onboarding, engagement, and churn, and know how to use marketing to move each lever.
  • A sharp strategic mind that can synthesize consumer research, behavioral data, and competitive signals into positioning and messaging that cuts through
  • Proven ability to influence product roadmaps. You've brought the voice of the customer into planning cycles and shaped what gets built, not just how it gets marketed.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting and defending strategy to VP and C-suite stakeholders.
  • Experience partnering closely with growth, lifecycle/CRM, creative, and data science teams to develop and execute multi-channel campaigns
  • Proficient in using data and A/B testing to develop and iterate on messaging; as comfortable in a metrics dashboard as in a creative brief

About Instacart

Instacart is an American company that operates a grocery delivery and pick-up service in the United States and Canada. The company offers its services via a website and mobile app. The service allows customers to order groceries from participating retailers with the shopping being done by a personal shopper. Instacart was founded in 2012 by entrepreneur Apoorva Mehta, a former Amazon.com employee. Apoorva was born in India and moved with his family to Canada in 2000. He studied engineering at the University of Waterloo and graduated in 2008. He was a participant in Y Combinator's Summer 2012 batch, which eventually led to the creation of Instacart. In 2013, Mehta was included on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. Apoorva previously worked at BlackBerry, Qualcomm, and then Amazon as a supply chain engineer, where he developed fulfillment systems to move packages from Amazon's warehouses to customers' homes. Before founding Instacart, Apoorva had tried to start at least 20 other services. He tried building an ad network for social gaming companies, and developing a social network specifically for lawyers, among other start-ups. Instacart originally launched in San Francisco. By April 2015, the firm had about 200 employees. It introduced a new policy around June allowing some shoppers to choose to be part-time employees, starting with Chicago and Boston and extending its offer to shoppers in Atlanta, Miami, and Washington D.C. the following month.
