Without this role, a growing portfolio of mid-market brands won't get the dedicated attention needed to accelerate their growth on the platform. Twelve months from now, this person will have become the trusted advisor for 5–10 fast-growing brands, helping them unlock the full potential of Instacart's platform and becoming a critical driver of our ads revenue growth. What you'll cook up in your first year Own and grow a portfolio of 5–10 mid-market CPG brands, building relationships deep enough with executive stakeholders that you become their first call when they're thinking about retail media investment. Hit and exceed quarterly and annual revenue targets by translating data-driven insights into compelling investment cases that move clients from transactional spend to strategic partnerships. Deliver monthly, quarterly, and annual business reviews that go beyond reporting — identifying growth opportunities and influencing how brands allocate their advertising budgets on Instacart. Build a library of differentiated sales collateral, case studies, and brand-specific narratives that make it easier for your clients to say yes — and for the broader team to replicate your wins. Become a recognized voice at the intersection of CPG and retail media, bringing insights from the field back to product, marketing, and insights teams to improve how Instacart serves this client segment. The secret ingredients we're looking for You're a consultative seller who leads with insight, not pitch decks. You know how to navigate complex organizations, build trust with senior stakeholders, and translate platform capabilities into outcomes that matter to CPG brands. You're comfortable in ambiguity, energized by a fast-moving environment, and motivated by the idea of building something that hasn't existed before.
