We're transforming the grocery industry 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. Learn more about our flexible approach to where we work. Why this role is on the menu Instacart's global privacy program is scaling rapidly alongside the growth of its e-commerce, advertising, health, and AI-driven product lines, and the regulatory landscape is evolving faster than ever. This role exists to embed privacy into how Instacart builds and operates, ensuring product, engineering, data science, advertising, health, and business development teams have clear, practical guidance as they move quickly. Without this partnership, cross-functional teams lack the legal support needed to navigate complex data governance decisions, from adtech and retail data sharing to AI product development. A year from now, Instacart's privacy program is stronger, more scalable, and recognized as a trusted partner embedded across every part of the business. What you'll cook up in your first year • Global privacy and data protection developments are actively monitored, with enforcement trends translated into clear, actionable guidance that business stakeholders can act on. • New products and business initiatives across e-commerce, advertising, health, and AI-driven product lines are reviewed and counseled through privacy requirements, with compliant design embedded from the start. • Instacart's advertising business operates with clear frameworks for data use, audience targeting, measurement, and consent, including well-governed restrictions on sensitive data in advertising contexts. • Data sharing arrangements with retail partners, advertisers, vendors, and subsidiaries are assessed and governed, with DPA, BAA, and cross-border transfer mechanisms (SCCs, DPF) in place. • Privacy program operations are strengthened: PRAs and DPIAs are supported, intake and documentation processes run effectively, and standard guidance, templates, playbooks, and training materials make privacy requirements accessible and scalable across the organization. The secret ingredients we're looking for Must-have pantry staples (Minimum Qualifications) • J.D. from a top-tier law school; membership in at least one U.S. state bar (California required or ability to register as in-house counsel) • 6+ years of experience focused on privacy and data protection, at a leading law firm, in-house, or both • Deep working knowledge of CCPA, GDPR, HIPAA, and the evolving landscape of U.S. state privacy and heal
