Director, Advertiser Success
We're transforming the grocery industry
Instacart is the North American leader in online grocery and one of the fastest-growing companies in e-commerce. Since 2012, we’ve been working towards creating a world where everyone has access to the food they love and more time to enjoy it together.
Groceries delivered to your door in as little as an hour. It seems simple, right? Well, it’s more complex than that. From re-routing deliveries during snowstorms, to connecting customers with coupons and deals for their favorite brands, to updating over half a billion grocery data lines every night...our efforts bring Instacart closer to being the operating system for the grocery industry.
OVERVIEW
At Instacart we solve for the customer. That extends beyond the thousands of households we serve daily to the leading and emerging consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies that want to shape how consumers perceive, shop, and stay loyal to their brands. Instacart’s Brand Partnerships team is focused on serving these clients through our native advertising platform. We are seeking a director of advertiser success to help us uplevel and scale our client services for advertisers on the largest grocery ecommerce platform in North America. This person will define the vision of our account management and operations teams by solving for the thousands of advertisers on our platform. They will help our advertisers measure results, optimize, and grow their performance on our ad tools through teams of client-facing account managers. Additionally, they would shape the development of an internally-oriented operations team charged with scaling our client services through automated or outsourced measurement and reporting capabilities. They will do this by having empathy for our advertisers’ goals, balancing their needs with Instacart’s aspirations, and setting a vision for client services. The approaches may include process development, account coverage strategy, building a Challenger mindset on the team, and partnering with technical teams on automation or offshoring of processes. This person will enjoy the challenge of working in a multi-sided marketplace and seek to understand the second-order effects of how actions taken by each side shapes the others.
