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.

Solving these problems is what helps our customers get back time in their day, so they can do more of what they love.

Jennifer Sutton

Senior Director, Diversity, Equity & Belonging

GALVANIZING PROGRESS

A team that practices what they preach

Sutton steers a data-driven DEB strategy anchored by four pillars: workforce equity, workplace belonging, responsible citizenship and product inclusion. She embraces authenticity and champions uncomfortable but necessary conversations. “If we’re standing for anti-racist beliefs in our society, we need to be sure that none of those biases show up at work, in how we assess talent and as we build our business model," she said.

We truly believe that when people show up as their true selves and can lean in, it makes us a more innovative organization where we can move more quickly and ultimately be a stronger business.

FUELING CONNECTIONS

Uniting colleagues through shared passions

Lancaster works with Instacart ERGS through his events-focused role. He also co-leads its LGBTQIA+ ERG, Rainbow Carrots. “We’ve made efforts towards allyship, inclusivity and amplifying intersectional voices of the LGBTQIA+ community,” he said. Pride Month events (themed “Community: Connectedness in our now Virtual World”) included a fundraiser for nonprofit Rainbow Railroad, a Gin and Gender class, and guest speakers.

My involvement with the Rainbow Carrots ERG has given me the opportunity to influence the voice of LGBTQIA+ community on a corporate level and educate others in meaningful ways — providing a list of actionable items that speak to the difference between advocacy and allyship.

INVESTING IN OTHERS

A culture that is empowering for all

“I am passionate about empowering, mentoring and uplifting women in tech,” Guo said. A co-lead of Instacart’s largest ERG, Women@, she curated programming for Women’s History Month that included leadership talks and a “Rock Your Review” workshop. Additionally, she launched and leads the ERG’s engineering mentorship program aimed at sharpening participants’ technical skills and fueling career progression.

Many women and allies have mentored me throughout my career. I want to pay this mentorship forward and pass it on to the next generation of women in tech.
