About the role

We aim to translate cutting-edge AI into practical, trustworthy solutions that move key financial levers for our customers.
You'll join a small, focused team (alongside 2 PMs and 7 engineers to start) with the mandate and resources to move fast.
If you thrive in ambiguity, love turning complex data and workflows into simple, outcome-driven products, and want to shape how AI transforms retail operations, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

Ensure data readiness and integrity by assessing data quality, telemetry, integrations, and feedback loops; implement human-in-the-loop and policy guardrails where appropriate.
Work backwards from customer outcomes to write crisp problem statements, PRDs, and success metrics; prioritize ruthlessly to deliver v0, iterate to v1, and scale proven features.
Own the business case: model unit economics and ROI, set financial targets for margin recovery/efficiency, and report performance to executives and external stakeholders.
Partner with engineering and data science to scope experiments, manage backlogs, define KPIs and evaluation frameworks, and ensure models and agents are reliable, safe, and observable.
Lead discovery with customers; design pilots and proof points; collaborate with sales and marketing on go-to-market, pricing and packaging, enablement, and case studies that drive revenue.

Requirements

Hands-on data proficiency, including the ability to query or analyze large datasets (e.g., SQL or equivalent) and evaluate data quality, model performance, and signal reliability.
Experience navigating complex enterprise sales cycles, including security, IT, and legal/procurement processes.
Bachelor's degree in a technical, quantitative, or business field (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Economics) or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to have

Experience in grocery, retail, or supply chain with familiarity in store operations, inventory management, and key margin levers.
Exposure to agentic AI systems, LLM-based workflows, autonomous decision pipelines, prompt engineering, and AI evaluation/guardrail practices.
Background with demand forecasting, replenishment, or inventory optimization products and metrics (e.g., OSA, service level, shrink).
Familiarity with the retail tech stack, including WMS, POS, ERP/replenishment modules, EDI, and API-based integrations.
Experience displacing incumbents or winning competitive takeouts in enterprise accounts.
Early-career experience in management consulting, solutions architecture, or business analytics
comfortable running diagnostics and leading with financial outcomes.
Offers may vary based on many factors, such as candidate experience and skills required for the role.

Compensation

Instacart provides highly market-competitive compensation and benefits in each location where our employees work.

Benefits

Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for agentic AI solutions that reduce out-of-stocks, shrink and waste, and improve fulfillment utilization for retailers and CPGs.
As a Product Manager, AI, you will own the vision, roadmap, and go-to-market for new agentic AI capabilities from 0 to 1.
