Why this role is on the menu

The Data Analyst position will play a pivotal role on the PEO Analytics team, leveraging operational performance data to diagnose fulfillment quality gaps, spearhead the detection and resolution of quality issues, and deliver data-driven recommendations that improve Instacart's products and processes. This means not only tackling immediate escalations but also establishing proactive monitoring systems that enhance long-term operational excellence, as well as supporting cross-functional insight needs that drive improvements across multiple areas of the business.

The Platform Excellence Operations (PEO) team is dedicated to improving the quality of Instacart's online grocery experience for customers, shoppers, retailers, and the overall marketplace. The analytics team identifies, understands, and eliminates defects in that experience by analyzing and interpreting operational data, ensuring stakeholders have a consistent understanding of why business performance is changing and advocating for improvements that might otherwise be overlooked.

As part of the Marketplace and Retailer Pillar within PEO Analytics, this role works on fulfillment quality problems ranging from cancellations and reschedules to timeliness, and plays an essential role in maintaining Instacart's reputation for reliability and operational excellence, from metrics analysis to strategy development. You will be part of a dynamic, cross-functional team whose success is built on transparency, communication, and the relentless pursuit of solutions that “Grow the Pie” for all stakeholders involved.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
