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.

Overview

We are seeking a Financial Systems Senior Project Manager to serve as a hands-on, embedded delivery leader for the Financial Systems (FinSys) team. This role is responsible for driving day-to-day execution across financial systems initiatives, including running sprint ceremonies, managing delivery workflows, and coordinating cross-workstream efforts to ensure predictable, high-quality outcomes.

This role focuses on internal-facing delivery rather than product development and aligns closely with an IT delivery and shared services operating model. The Project Manager will partner closely with systems leads, business stakeholders, and vendors to ensure work is well-planned, transparently tracked, and delivered efficiently.

In addition to delivery execution, this role will own coordination of Financial Systems projects and initiatives not led by Finance Transformation, providing clear accountability, structured governance, and consistent communication.

The Finance Systems and Solutions (FINSS) team owns the end-to-end lifecycle, governance, and evolution of technology systems that enables Finance across Instacart. We align deeply with Finance leadership to ensure that systems serve not just as tools, but as strategic enablers of insight, control, and growth.
