Description

  • Lead the Retailer Success organization and own commercial customer success outcomes end to end, including retention, expansion, adoption, CSAT, and renewals.
  • Build and develop a senior consultative customer success team by hiring, sponsoring, and ramping Principal Growth Strategists and managing senior managers.
  • Set standards and operating expectations across L7, AGM, and account team layers for QBR quality, growth planning, executive engagement, and renewal execution.
  • Partner with Business Development as a commercial peer while owning post-sale accountability and surfacing churn, expansion, and escalation risk early.
  • Coordinate shared enterprise accounts with the technical customer success / PSM function so the commercial and technical teams operate as one.
  • Define the boundary for L7 strategists as senior advisors rather than issue resolvers, with operational and technical execution handled by other roles.
  • Own the transformation of customer success from feature enablement into proactive business advisory, including talent strategy, comp structure, operating cadence, and tooling changes.
  • Partner with Delivery to improve the implementation-to-success handoff and ensure early-lifecycle accounts transition cleanly into growth ownership.
  • Operate and enforce the tiered service model, including high-touch coverage for strategic accounts and scaled coverage for the long tail.
  • Build structured product feedback loops from retailer interactions and use customer success input to improve roadmap adoption and accountability.
  • Apply AI-enabled tooling to scale customer success coverage, improve quality, and automate account preparation, health monitoring, and signal triage.
  • Represent the post-sale business narrative to senior leadership and act as the escalation point for retailer relationships when needed.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of enterprise customer success, account management, or post-sale leadership experience at a B2B SaaS or enterprise technology company.
  • Direct leadership of a customer success organization responsible for post-live growth, NRR, and expansion.
  • Experience managing managers, including senior manager-level leaders, and setting standards without micromanagement.
  • Ownership of a meaningful customer success book or post-sale P&L, such as $50M+ ARR, with documented NRR, GRR, or expansion results.
  • Proven success in a BD-led or sales-led commercial environment with comfort working within shared standards rather than rigid process.
  • Strong executive presence with enterprise customers at the VP, SVP, or C-level, including the ability to deliver difficult news and manage escalations.
  • Experience designing and running tiered customer success coverage models, including capacity planning and exception handling.
  • Hands-on experience hiring senior consultative talent such as Principal CS or strategy leaders, with a clear point of view on profile, compensation, and ramp.
  • Strong understanding of the implementation-to-success handoff and how delivery and customer success should work across the same accounts.
  • Experience transforming customer success from reactive enablement into proactive business advisory, including changes to talent, compensation, operating model, and tooling (preferred).
  • Experience building or scaling Principal-level or strategist roles within a customer success organization (preferred).
  • Experience working alongside a separate technical CS / PSM / TAM function on shared enterprise accounts (preferred).
  • Experience applying AI to customer success workflows such as health monitoring, QBR generation, and signal triage, with measurable impact (preferred).
  • Familiarity with enterprise retail, grocery, ecommerce platforms, retail media, or similarly complex B2B domains (preferred).
  • Experience translating retailer signals into structured product feedback and partnering with Product on adoption accountability (preferred).

Benefits

  • Highly market-competitive compensation based on permanent work location.
  • Base salary range of CAD $230,000 to $242,500 for successful candidates in Canada.
  • Eligible for a new hire equity grant.
  • Eligible for annual refresh equity grants.
  • Flexible remote-first work environment under Instacart’s Flex First policy.
  • Hiring currently open in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, and Nova Scotia for Canadian candidates.
  • Access to Instacart’s benefits offerings, with additional details provided by the company.
