Senior/Staff Design Program Manager
At Instacart, we invite the world to share love through food because we believe everyone should have access to the food they love and more time to enjoy it together. Where others see a simple need for grocery delivery, we see exciting complexity and endless opportunity to serve the varied needs of our community. 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.
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.
Instacart is on a mission to make eating well effortless for everyone, and great design is a key ingredient. As a Design Program Manager on our Design Program Management team, you will drive operational excellence and programmatic execution across a Design organization serving 90+ cross-functional partners and multiple company priority areas.
This role sits at the intersection of design craft, technical operations, and strategic execution. You will build AI-enabled systems, scale critical processes, and manage the tools and vendor relationships that power our creative work—so our teams can deliver world-class experiences efficiently and predictably.
You will work closely with Product Designers, Product Managers, Engineering, Marketing, Legal, and Business Development, and partner deeply with the Instacart Design System (IDS) team. You will translate design strategy into executable programs, create visibility into outcomes, and enable cross-functional alignment at scale in a fast-paced, highly dynamic environment.
If you thrive at the intersection of systems thinking and creative craft, embrace change, and love empowering teams to do their best work, we’d love to hear from you.
