Job Description

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.

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.

Overview

Instacart’s Technical Accounting, Revenue, and External Reporting team partners across the business to ensure our diverse revenue streams are recognized accurately, on time, and in alignment with ASC 606. We operate at the intersection of product, sales, legal, finance, and systems to support the company’s marketplace, advertising, subscription, and enterprise offerings.

We are seeking a Technical Revenue Accounting Manager to own complex revenue topics, advise on deal structures and new product launches, and drive an efficient, well-controlled revenue close. You will be a key partner to Accounting, Finance, Legal, Tax, Business Development, Sales, and FinSys, and work closely with our external auditors and SOX advisors. This role is a high-visibility opportunity to influence policy and process beyond core accounting while working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

You’ll join a lean, collaborative team where you will have clear ownership, direct impact, and the opportunity to build for scale. If you thrive on solving complex problems, rolling up your sleeves, and partnering cross-functionally to get things right the first time, we’d love to hear from you.

Collaborate with FinSys and Data teams to enhance revenue systems, tooling, and data quality (requirements, UAT, and rollouts) to support automation, scale, and accuracy.
Support new product and pricing initiatives by translating business requirements into compliant accounting outcomes; create training, FAQs, and guidance for cross-functional partners.
