Why this role is on the menu

We're hiring an Account Manager II to make Instacart Ads the place CPG advertisers and agencies trust to grow their business, by improving campaign performance, widening how brands invest across our ad products, and shaping the advertiser experience. This role sits at the intersection of client strategy and campaign performance, and the person who fills it will have a direct line of sight to advertiser growth and retention. Twelve months from now, the advertisers you partner with should see Instacart as a growth partner whose recommendations they act on.

What you'll cook up in your first year

• Advertiser Relationships: CPG clients and agency partners treat you as a trusted advisor. Working with Sales, you understand their business objectives and build strategies that support their long-term growth on Instacart.

• Campaign Performance: Each advertiser has a full-funnel media strategy tied to its goals. You use campaign data and marketplace insights to recommend investment and optimization approaches that measurably improve results, and you manage gap-to-goal across multiple business units.

• Advertiser Growth: Advertisers adopt your optimization and upsell recommendations and expand their use of Instacart advertising products. You get there by explaining clearly how each product works, building persuasive narratives, and handling objections with confidence across multiple stakeholders.

• Business Reviews: Recurring client conversations and quarterly business reviews turn campaign data into a clear story of business impact, opportunities, and next steps. You own the vision and content for these reviews, and advertisers leave knowing what to do next. You also resolve campaign and partner issues with limited guidance.

• Product and Team Influence: Advertiser pain points reach the right internal teams as specific feedback that shapes product enhancements and process improvements. You also share best practices across the category and Advertiser Success teams and lead projects that strengthen team-wide capabilities.

The secret ingredients we're looking for

You are customer-focused and analytical, comfortable influencing senior stakeholders, and energized by a fast-paced role where priorities and solutions keep evolving. You use judgment and initiative to balance immediate client needs against longer-term chances to improve products, processes, and advertiser outcomes, and you are at your best explaining complex campaign data in plain terms.
