Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Instacart as an employer.

What you need

  • 8 or more years of recent experience in strategic finance, corporate finance, investment banking, private equity, or management consulting, with significant time spent directly supporting deal flow, business development, or commercial partnerships.
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Business, Mathematics, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Deep, hands-on deal experience: a track record of owning the finance workstream across a high volume of complex commercial agreements end-to-end, from initial scoping and pricing through negotiation, signature, and post-close performance tracking.
  • Experience as the senior finance partner in negotiations with C-suite and VP-level executives, both internally and externally, structuring contract terms that balance growth and unit economics across a fast-moving pipeline.
  • Advanced financial modeling skills in Excel or Google Sheets, including multi-scenario and sensitivity analyses for complex, multi-year agreements.
  • Strong command of accounting fundamentals and unit economics; ability to build, reconcile, and present partner- and portfolio-level P&Ls and cash flow impacts to executive audiences.

Nice to have

  • MBA or relevant advanced degree.
  • Experience at a marketplace, platform, gig economy, grocery delivery, or consumer internet company with complex, multi-party commercial partnership structures, ideally where the business model depends on signing and retaining external supply- or demand-side partners.
  • 2 or more years of direct people management experience, with a track record of developing high-performing analysts and managers.
  • Proficiency in SQL and familiarity with BI tools and building AI workflows.
  • Experience building and owning pricing frameworks, rate card architecture, and enterprise-scale deal desk processes.

What you get

  • Highly market-competitive compensation and benefits in each location where employees work.
  • Eligible for a new hire equity grant as well as annual refresh grants.

Worth weighing

  • No specific details on the company's culture or team dynamics are provided.
  • The role is remote but limited to candidates in specific Canadian provinces: Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, and Nova Scotia.
  • Base pay range is provided but varies based on location and candidate experience, which may lead to uncertainty in compensation discussions.
