Privacy Counsel
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to include all substantive info.
Let's extract sections.
**About the role**: Could combine the introductory paragraphs: "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."
That's a lot of prose. Could be split into two paragraphs.
**Why this role is on the menu**: This is also about role purpose. Could be part of About the role or separate. But we already have About the role; we could incorporate that as part of About the role. However we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Not about duplication of content.
We can have About the role include the mission and Flex First. Then Responsibilities: "What you'll cook up in your first year". Then Requirements: Minimum Qualifications. Then Qualifications: Optional Garnishes. Then Benefits: compensation and benefits description. Then Pay: base pay ranges.
We need to ensure we don't miss any substantive info: The "Why this role is on the menu" paragraph includes details about privacy program scaling, role purpose, etc. That is substantive and should be included somewhere. If we put it in About the role, we need to include that content. So About the role should contain both the company mission and the role purpose.
Thus About the role paragraph(s) will include:
- Transforming grocery industry mission.
- Instacart is a Flex First team description.
- Why this role is on the menu: privacy program scaling, role purpose, etc.
We need to keep all details.
Let's craft About the role content:
Paragraph 1: "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."
Paragraph 2: "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."
Paragraph 3: "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."
That covers all.
Now Responsibilities: "What you'll cook up in your first year" list:
- 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.
We need to output as
- items.
Now Requirements: 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 health data laws
- Experience advising on adtech, data sharing, and consumer data use in a retail, e-commerce, or platform environment
- Strong ability to translate complex legal requirements into practical, business-oriented guidance for non-legal stakeholders
Now Qualifications: Optional Garnishes (Preferred Qualifications):
- Experience with AI governance and privacy-by-design in ML/AI product development

Now Benefits: "Instacart provides highly market-competitive compensation and benefits in each location where our employees work. This role is remote and the base pay range for a successful candidate is dependent on their permanent work location. Please review our Flex First remote work policy here. Offers may vary based on many factors, such as candidate experience and skills required for the role. Additionally, this role is eligible for a new hire equity grant as well as annual refresh grants. Please read more about our benefits offerings here."
We need to keep substantive info: competitive compensation and benefits, remote role, base pay range dependent on location, equity grant, annual refresh grants, benefits offerings. We should not include the "please review our Flex First remote work policy here" link as it's a navigation instruction; but it's part of benefits description? It's a link to policy; maybe we can keep the sentence but drop the link? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The phrase "Please review our Flex First remote work policy here." is an application instruction? It's a link to policy; could be considered navigation. Safer to omit that sentence? But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; the policy link is not substantive content; it's a reference. Might be considered navigation. I'd drop that sentence. Similarly "Please read more about our benefits offerings here." is also a link; could be considered navigation. Might drop.
Thus Benefits section could contain:
- Instacart provides highly market-competitive compensation and benefits in each location where our employees work.
- This role is remote and the base pay range for a successful candidate is dependent on their permanent work location.
- Offers may vary based on many factors, such as candidate experience and skills required for the role.
- Additionally, this role is eligible for a new hire equity grant as well as annual refresh grants.
We keep that.
Now Pay: base pay ranges per location.
