Senior Product Manager leading core payment strategies for Instacart's platforms. Driving execution and collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance payment solutions.
Responsibilities
Own the end-to-end strategy and roadmap for a core segment of Instacart’s payments platform—focused on alternative and emerging tenders and stored value—driving measurable impact on reliability, conversion, cost, and user experience across Instacart Marketplace and Storefront Pro.
Translate ambiguous, complex payments problems into structured plans (e.g., supporting new digital wallets, BNPL, health and government benefits, gift cards, and loyalty balances) and drive execution from discovery and prioritization through launch, iteration, and scale.
Partner closely with Engineering to design and evolve core platform primitives, APIs, data models, and services that are scalable, observable, secure, and easy for surface teams and external partners to integrate.
Act as the domain owner for how your area of the payments platform shows up across web, app, and partner channels; collaborate with surface teams to deliver simple, consistent, and trustworthy payment experiences for customers, shoppers, and retailers.
Use data and customer insights—dashboards, experimentation, research, and partner feedback—to identify root causes of friction (e.g., payment failures or checkout drop-off), design creative platform solutions, and make high-quality decisions that balance speed, risk, and long-term scalability.
Establish strong cross-functional operating mechanisms with Product, Engineering, Design, Analytics, Operations, Finance, Legal/Compliance, Partnerships, Sales, Support, and Instacart Health, including clear metrics, dashboards, incident/postmortem processes, and partner review cadences.
Lead integrations and vendor relationships for your area, plan migrations and rollouts, and contribute to a robust risk, compliance, and reliability posture in partnership with Security, Finance, and Legal/Compliance.
