The posting

We're transforming the grocery industry

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. We work to deliver an essential service that customers rely on to get their groceries and household goods, while also offering safe and flexible earnings opportunities to Instacart Personal Shoppers.

Instacart has become a lifeline for millions of people, and we’re building the team to help push our shopping cart forward. If you’re ready to do the best work of your life, come join our table.

Instacart is a Flex First team

There’s no one-size fits all approach to how we do our best work. Our employees have the flexibility to choose where they do their best work—whether it’s from home, an office, or your favorite coffee shop—while staying connected and building community through regular in-person events. Learn more about our flexible approach to where we work.

Why this role is on the menu

Instacart's Policy & Government Affairs department advocates for public policy outcomes that support the long-term growth of our business and the success of our key stakeholders. This role leads Instacart's state and local government affairs in the midwest United States, where policymakers need to understand our business and its positive impact on their communities. Without it, engagement with state and local elected officials and other key stakeholders in the region lacks a dedicated lead, and cross-functional partners are less informed on new policy developments. Twelve months from now, Instacart has trusted relationships with policymakers across the region and a clear, regularly reported view of the policy landscape.

What you'll cook up in your first year

  • Relationships with key policymakers and influential state and local government-oriented stakeholders are established across the midwest and central region, with policymakers educated on the value of Instacart's business to their constituents and the ecommerce landscape
  • Legislative, regulatory and political strategies are crafted and executed to achieve state and local policy goals, supported by well-prepared hearings, regulatory proceedings and testimony in-person, virtually, or in writing
  • Instacart is represented in midwestern and central region trade associations and industry coalitions, and third party political, advocacy and industry allies are built to support strategic policy objectives
  • State and local policy solutions and comprehensive advocacy campaigns for key legislative priorities are created with Policy Research and Development, legal partners, other internal stakeholders and the Public Engagement team
  • Cross-functional stakeholders are regularly educated on legislation and regulatory matters, with new policy developments reported on a regular cadence through weekly reports and other internal materials, and annual budgets and external consultants managed to reflect changing government affairs needs

The secret ingredients we're looking for

  • You are a strategic thinker with polished oral and written presentation skills
  • You thrive under pressure and can balance long and short-term priorities to deliver results
  • You are resourceful and entrepreneurial with a bias towards action

Why it works

3×

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.
