Why this role is on the menu

Instacart is building a new, distinctive pillar of the Instacart Platform — an emerging portfolio of AI-driven retailer solutions — and the go-to-market infrastructure to scale it is being built right now. The opportunity is real, but translating it into scalable commercialization frameworks, pricing strategies, and GTM plans requires specialized expertise and a dedicated strategy and planning leader. We're hiring a Director of AI Solutions Strategy & Planning to lead that work end-to-end. This role sits at the intersection of enterprise strategy and frontier AI, working cross-functionally with Product, Sales, Marketing, Legal, and Customer Success to shape how Instacart becomes the preferred technology partner for grocery retailers.
