Overview

Instacart's Customer Experience (CX) Consumer team is focused on delivering effortless support experiences for customers across our marketplace. We are hiring a CX Pillar Ops Manager to own day-to-day operations for one or more consumer support pillars, partnering closely with CX Ops, Vendor Managers, Support Teams, Product Ops, and Business Owners for Instacart Health and Instacart Business.
