HR Business Partner

Responsibilities

• 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.
• 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.
• Marketing & Communications shapes how Instacart shows up in the world. As the organization evolves and its leadership operates at increasing levels of complexity, people decisions need a dedicated strategic partner who can keep up. You'll work directly with Marketing & Communications leaders at the Sr Director and VP levels, bringing the connective tissue between business strategy and talent: proactive org design, leadership coaching that actually sticks, and people practices that hold up as the function scales.
• Senior Marketing & Communications leaders — at the Sr. Director and VP level — have a trusted strategic advisor shaping how they build, develop, and retain their teams, so people decisions are made with confidence and are visibly tied to business outcomes.
• A cohesive talent strategy is in place for Marketing & Communications — covering attraction, engagement, and development of diverse, high-caliber talent — that positions the org to compete in a tight market.
• Change doesn’t catch the team flat-footed: leaders and employees move through transitions with clarity, supported by communication strategies and change management plans that you own end-to-end.
• Proven ability to independently lead all aspects of the talent management lifecycle — performance management, org design, calibration, engagement, and leadership development — with minimal oversight.
• Demonstrated track record of coaching and influencing Director and VP+ level leaders with autonomy and confidence, shaping organizational strategy and decisions.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to craft clear narratives, build change management plans, and influence across all levels of an organization.
• Prior experience supporting Marketing or Communications organizations.
