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.

Instacart is a Flex First team

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.

Overview

About the Team- At Instacart, our retail strategy is centered around being a highly trusted technology enablement partner for our retailers.

About the Role- We are hiring a Director of Sales Operations to lead a team of professionals to drive world-class sales operations for our retail business. The ideal candidate is a systems-minded operator who can turn great commercial strategy into repeatable, high-fidelity execution. 

About the Job

The Director of Sales Operations will:

  • Own the end-to-end retail sales engine by designing, documenting, and continuously improving every critical motion—from lead routing and quota setting to downstream integrations with accounting, legal, and other cross-functional partners —so that our retail teams spend more time with partners and less time fighting process.
  • Serve as the connective tissue between go-to-market teams and sales tooling teams. Acting as the lead retail business stakeholder for Salesforce and adjacent tools, you’ll build a deep understanding of the nuances of our retail business and translate field feedback into crisp user stories, prioritize the roadmap, and ensure we ship high-impact enhancements on schedule. You will guide the evolution of our Salesforce tooling, the implementation of a new CPQ solution, and the integration of AI-driven tools to meet the unique needs of the Retail organization.
  • Drive forecast accuracy and data integrity. You’ll own the single source of truth for pipeline, account segmentation, configuration details, and retention metrics—establishing rigorous governance over Salesforce hygiene, stage definitions, and reporting cadences.
  • Scale what works, sunset what doesn’t. Through disciplined process mapping and experimentation, you’ll identify bottlenecks, prototype solutions, run experiments, and institutionalize best practices across global teams.
  • Lead, coach, and develop a high-performance Sales Ops team. You’ll build career paths, set clear OKRs, and foster a culture of curiosity, data-driven decision-making, and psychological safety.
