Overview

Instacart is hiring a Program Analyst, Legal Compliance Program to support the Legal Risk and Compliance function and the systems and workflows that enable the compliance program to be visible, efficient and effective. You will focus on process execution, data analyst, tooling implementation and support, reporting, documentation, and workflow upkeep across the Risk and Compliance teams.

This role sits within Risk and Compliance in the Legal organization. You will partner closely with Legal and business stakeholders to collect and analyze data, write queries to highlight key metrics, build workflows, create and maintain tools, troubleshoot issues, and track operational improvements.
