The opportunity
At Instacart, we invite the world to share love through food because we believe everyone should have access to the food they love and more time to enjoy it together. Where others see a simple need for grocery delivery, we see exciting complexity and endless opportunity to serve the varied needs of our community.
What you'll do
Product teams launching new products have a trusted legal partner who: accelerates development by identifying jurisdiction-specific risks early and by building scalable compliance frameworks that don’t need to be rebuilt for each new initiative.
Product initiatives ship with confidence because you’ve worked alongside: product, engineering, and design to find creative, practical solutions that address the legal issues these initiatives raise.
Cross-functional legal processes are measurably more efficient because you’ve: identified leverage points, introduced AI-assisted workflows, and reduced time-to-answer for recurring legal questions across Product, BD, and Operations.
Instacart’s exposure across consumer protection, payments, privacy, and: commercial compliance is well-mapped and proactively managed, with documented risk frameworks and clear escalation paths.
Business partners across the company describe Legal as the team that: identifies critical risks early and helps them get ambitious ideas across the finish line — and you’re the reason why.
