Bilingual Staff Technical Program Manager, Global Enterprise Fulfillment Platform

About the role

This role offers a unique opportunity to lead Instacart's most complex, high-visibility, and strategically important programs at the intersection of technical strategy and execution. As a Staff Technical Program Manager, you will define program strategy, architect execution approaches for ambiguous and cross-cutting initiatives, and partner with executives to deliver outcomes that shape the future of our products, platform, and 4-sided marketplace. You will join our Technical Program Management team within Engineering, a trusted group that brings Product, Engineering, Data Science, Design, and Business partners together to solve big problems. We're a hands-on, highly collaborative team that rolls up our sleeves to drive alignment, unravel dependencies, and raise the bar for operational excellence across the company. The immediate TPM team consists of 12 TPMs within a broader 25-person TPM organization, providing a deep bench of peers for thought partnership and mentorship. A key focus for this role is to evolve our global enterprise fulfillment platform-building on the capabilities and client base brought together through the Instaleap acquisition -to deliver a unified, international offering for retailers across North America, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, love turning ambiguity into clarity, and are excited to drive impact across an international, multi-product platform, we'd love to meet you. Lead the strategy, definition, and high-quality execution of company-wide programs with high ambiguity, complexity, risk, and executive visibility-owning results end to end. Transform poorly understood problems into well-structured, cross-functional programs; architect scalable execution plans and operating mechanisms that set the standard for quality and efficiency. Drive deep technical alignment across Engineering and Product-proposing, vetting, influencing, and de-risking architectural decisions and implementation plans at org leadership level. Generate and maintain cross-program roadmaps that coordinate multiple teams and workstreams; proactively identify dependencies, risks, and tradeoffs to keep delivery on track. Partner closely with VPs and executive leadership to align program goals to business strategy; craft clear narratives and decision frameworks that accelerate outcomes. Elevate team performance by identifying systemic gaps, proposing pragmatic alternatives, and modeling solutions that improve efficiency, quality, and maintainability. Establish and evolve program frameworks, processes, and evaluation criteria that become reusable standards adopted broadly across the organization. Mentor and onboard TPMs at varying levels; foster a culture where the best ideas win, conflicts are de-escalated constructively, and teams communicate with clarity and empathy. Lead integration of enterprise fulfillment, picking, delivery orchestration, and marketplace capabilities into a cohesive global platform; define phased roadmaps spanning discovery, gap analysis, and platform evolution. Serve as connective tissue between Instacart's North America-based engineering organization and Instaleap's Bogotá-based teams-coordinating across time zones, languages, and cultures to maintain alignment and momentum. Ensure continuity for nearly 100 existing international retail partners during integration, enabling cross-sell opportunities and zero disruption to live operations. Partner with engineering leadership to structure cross-team collaboration models, including tech lead identification, mentor pairing, and hands-on ramp projects across the combined organization.
