Insights Manager II

Instacart

2h • $128,000 - $161,500 • Remote

About The Position

Instacart's Retail Insights team sits at the intersection of the industry's richest grocery data, our most strategic retail partnerships, and the CPG category intelligence that powers growth across the platform. As our retailer relationships scale and the complexity of our business deepens, we need someone who can turn that data into decisions — not just reports. We're hiring an Insights Manager II to serve as the analytical backbone for a portfolio of key grocery retail partners, translating ambiguous business questions into clear answers and actionable strategies. This role sits at the intersection of data, storytelling, and commercial impact, and the person who fills it will have a direct line of sight to how Instacart grows its most important partnerships.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in a quantitative business strategy role — consulting, banking, analytics, or similar.
• Proficiency with SQL (complex, efficient queries), Excel, and data visualization tools.
• Strong analytical reasoning: ability to work through ambiguous problems step by step and surface the "so what."
• Polished communication skills and proven ability to manage senior stakeholder relationships, both internal and external.
• A self-starter orientation — you don't wait to be handed a problem; you identify it, frame it, and drive toward an answer.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in retail, e-commerce, or grocery — familiarity with the dynamics of online marketplaces or CPG categories is a meaningful accelerant.
• Experience building business cases or presenting to external partners or clients.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the analytical backbone for a portfolio of key grocery retail partners, translating ambiguous business questions into clear answers and actionable strategies.
• Build a trusted analytical foundation where insights are proactively sought out by Business Development and retail partners.
• Go deeper than the dashboard to find root causes when performance dips or opportunities surface, influencing how partners run their business on Instacart.
• Partner with Business Development to craft business cases and quarterly business reviews that are analytically rigorous, narratively compelling, and tied to outcomes retailers care about.
• Build or improve internal tools, frameworks, and narratives that help stakeholders move from raw data to clear direction.
• Act as the go-to expert on your category and partner landscape, shaping strategy based on macro business, operational, and customer trends.

Benefits

• Highly market-competitive compensation and benefits in each location where our employees work.
• Flexibility to choose where they do their best work—whether it’s from home, an office, or your favorite coffee shop.
• New hire equity grant as well as annual refresh grants.
