Overview Instacart's Enterprise Solutions team partners with North America's largest grocery and retail chains to power their digital commerce through StorefrontPro, the Enterprise API (Fulfillment and Ads), CarrotAds, and adjacent software products.

We're seeking a Director, Customer Success to lead the commercial Retailer Success organization — accountable for post-live growth, retention, and expansion across the enterprise software portfolio. In this highly visible role, you will lead a team of senior managers, Account Growth Managers (AGMs), and L7 Principal Growth Strategists who serve as the strategic and commercial face of Instacart to retailer executives. You'll own the outcomes that matter: net revenue retention (NRR), gross revenue retention (GRR), expansion GTV, adoption velocity, and CSAT.

You'll partner closely with Business Development on commercial leadership, with the Sr Director on portfolio-level strategy, with the Director of Enterprise Architecture & Engineering (the technical CS / PSM function) on shared accounts, and with Product on retailer signal and roadmap adoption. This is a roll-up-your-sleeves leadership opportunity for someone who has personally led the transformation of CS from reactive enablement toward proactive business advisory, can hire and develop senior consultative talent, and thrives in a fast-paced, BD-led commercial environment with shared standards rather than rigid process. The role reports to the Senior Director, Enterprise Delivery and Growth, and is remote across the United States and Canada with a preference for proximity to Toronto for key cross-functional collaboration.

About the Job Lead the Retailer Success organization for the enterprise software portfolio — owning commercial CS outcomes end to end, including NRR, GRR, expansion GTV, adoption velocity, CSAT, and renewal performance. Build and develop a senior consultative CS bench by hiring, sponsoring, and ramping L7 Principal Growth Strategists who engage retailer executives on ecommerce strategy, merchandising, and operations — not platform configuration — and who can credibly influence retailer P&L outcomes and roadmap adoption. Manage senior managers leading AGM (Account Growth Manager) pods, setting standards for what good looks like across the L7, AGM, and account team layers — including QBR quality, growth planning, executive engagement, and renewal execution.

Operate in a BD-led commercial environment as a true commercial peer to BD — preserving BD's ownership of the primary commercial relationship while owning post-sale accountability and surfacing churn, expansion, and escalation signal early and clearly.
