Social Content Producer

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. Instacart is a Flex First team. 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. Why this role is on the menu Instacart is already a key part of people’s everyday lives – we’re in their kitchens, their routines, and their biggest moments – and we have the opportunity to earn the same place in their feeds. That’s the opportunity this role exists to unlock. We’re looking for someone who instinctively understands social, moves at the speed of culture, and sees creative potential in every grocery moment. The person who joins our team will help define what our brand looks, sounds, and feels like on social for years to come.
