ABOUT THE TEAM
The Growth Design Team focuses on driving meaningful business impact through thoughtful strategy, experimentation, and exceptional craft. We design the end-to-end journeys that help customers discover, understand, and engage with the value of Instacart.
Our work sits at the intersection of product thinking, brand expression, behavioral insight, and interaction design. We’re constantly exploring new ways to make growth experiences feel more useful, intuitive, expressive, and distinctly Instacart.
We pride ourselves on a culture of experimentation, accountability, and craft, continuously evolving how we design for conversion, engagement, retention, and long-term customer value.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer II to join the Lifecycle & Growth team and help shape some of Instacart’s most important customer experiences.
This role is ideal for a highly conceptual, craft-driven designer who is energized by ambiguous problems, 0→1 exploration, and bringing new ideas to life through exceptional visual, interaction, and motion design.
You’ll work across high-impact Growth initiatives spanning partnerships, incentives, and lifecycle experiences. The work may include exploring new partner-led entry points, rethinking how incentives are surfaced and understood, or creating new lifecycle experiences that improve conversion, reactivation, and retention.
You’ll work at the intersection of product, brand, content, interaction design, and growth strategy, deeply understanding both the customer experience and the business mechanics behind it to create new ways for people to discover, engage with, and return to Instacart.
Many of these opportunities won’t start with a defined solution. You’ll be expected to explore broadly, challenge existing patterns, and translate customer needs, business goals, and emerging capabilities into compelling product experiences.
You’ll move fluidly between big-picture concepts and the smallest interaction details, developing new product ideas, prototyping behaviors, refining motion and micro-interactions, and carrying strong concepts through to polished execution.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
• Lead high-impact Growth initiatives across partnerships, incentives, and lifecycle experiences, taking work from ambiguous problem framing through exploration, refinement, and launch
• Reimagine key moments across the customer journey, including how people discover Instacart, understand value, convert, reactivate, and build ongoing habits
• Blend product thinking, brand, content, interaction design, and business mechanics to create unified experiences rather than solving individual surfaces in isolation
• Explore and prototype new content models, flo
