About Instrumentl

Instrumentl automates grant discovery and management for nonprofits. Backed by Y Combinator and 500 Global.

About the role

We're hiring a Head of Product, reporting to co-founder Angela Braren, to lead our product managers as Instrumentl becomes the AI-native operating system for grant-funded organizations. You'll mature the products our founders take from 0 to 1, raise how fast we ship without giving up quality, and help the team build agents that work in production. This is a builder's seat: you'll personally own a core product area while growing the team, at a profitable company that's still early. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years in product management, including owning a whole product or most of a core product end to end in B2B SaaS
  • A track record of taking a product from 0 to 1 and then scaling it, with the customer or business results to show for it
  • You still build hands-on: you prototype, write specs, and ship products yourself, not only through others
  • Experience managing and developing PMs, including hiring, coaching, and performance management
  • A track record of setting strategy across multiple product areas, making investment tradeoffs, and delivering measurable customer and business outcomes
More about this role

Grants fund nonprofit work, but they also create some of the toughest operational challenges. Every grant brings its own deadlines, spending restrictions, reporting requirements, and commitments, so managing that complexity across fundraising, finance, and HR requires more than spreadsheets.

Instrumentl is the system of record for grants. We bring discovery, applications, award compliance, and grant operations into one platform, giving nonprofits a shared foundation to grow their revenue and impact.

More than 6,000 nonprofits rely on Instrumentl, from local community groups to state and county governments, universities, and maybe even your local animal shelter. We're a cash flow positive, YC-backed company building our next chapter, and we're hiring people who will shape and grow the impact of the nonprofit sector.
