Overview The Enterprise AI Pod is a forward-deployed, field-first unit within Instacart's Enterprise Solutions team — purpose-built to take the Instacart Intelligence Platform to market with B2B retail and CPG partners. As an AI Field Consultant, you bring the deep vertical expertise in grocery retail and CPG that makes the pod credible in the field — earning trust at every level of a partner organization, from analyst to executive, and translating what you hear into AI use cases R&D can build and partners will actually adopt. This is a small, senior, cross-functional pod operating at the intersection of discovery, co-creation, and change management — early, defining the playbook as we go, and looking for people who are energized by that. About the Job  Be the domain credibility of the pod. You know grocery retail and CPG — merchandising, supply chain, store ops, trade, e-commerce — well enough to walk into any room at any level and earn it immediately. As the pod scales, you'll deepen into a vertical and become Instacart's sharpest expert in that space. Get to the real problem. Embed with partner teams to identify where agentic AI will actually move the business — not just what's technically possible, but what will change how operators work day to day. Translate those problems into AI-solvable use cases the pod can build against. Lead discovery and requirements. Run structured workshops at partner sites, surface and prioritize the use case map, and turn field learnings into clear inputs for the pod and R&D. You're the bridge between what partners need and what gets built. Show, don't just tell. Lead hands-on demos and platform walkthroughs tailored to the partner's specific workflows — making abstract AI capability concrete and compelling in the room. The ability to demonstrate the art of the possible is as important as the ability to articulate it. Own adoption. Drive the change management that makes deployments stick — new operating cadences, workflow redesigns, user training. S
