[Hiring] Public Engagement Manager @Instacart

Role Description

As the policy landscape evolves, so does the need for Instacart to deepen its grassroots presence across key regions of the country. This role is focused on expanding our public engagement footprint in the Midwest, mid-Atlantic, and the South — connecting with shoppers, customers, and community members who care about issues like:

• Protecting the independence and flexibility of app-based workers
• Preserving access to online savings for customers
• Improving access to food security programs

Imagine yourself building a network of Instacart advocates in new markets, leveraging digital tools to drive engagement and shape public opinion, surfacing proactive organizing opportunities before they become reactive scrambles, and showing up with speed and precision when policy windows open. This is a role for someone equally comfortable building relationships in person as they are running a sophisticated digital engagement program — and who thrives at the intersection of community organizing and public policy.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in grassroots organizing, community engagement, digital strategy, political campaigns, or public affairs
• Demonstrated ability to recruit, train, develop, and deploy advocate networks at scale
• Subject matter expert on grassroots mobilization strategies
• Strong digital organizing skills
• Metrics-driven mindset with experience tracking digital campaign performance
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Proactive self-starter who monitors political developments
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
• Willingness to travel regularly across the Midwest, the mid-Atlantic, and the South

Requirements

• Close collaboration with the Federal Affairs team results in targeted grassroots engagement with federal stakeholders
• Rapid response capacity is demonstrated through time-sensitive policy campaigns

Benefits

• Highly market-competitive compensation and benefits
• Remote work flexibility
• New hire equity grant and annual refresh grants
