Instrumentl automates grant discovery and management for nonprofits. Backed by Y Combinator and 500 Global.
About the role
We're hiring a Staff Product Manager to own GrantOS, the platform every other product area at Instrumentl is built on, reporting to our Co-founder and Head of EPD. This is a customer-facing role. You'll spend regular time with grant professionals on calls, in their day-to-day workflows, and at conferences, until you understand how they work better than they could describe it themselves. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of product management experience, including time spent close enough to users to describe their workflow better than they could, and reframing the problem before jumping to a feature
- Track record of picking which problem was worth solving when nobody had scoped it, holding a clear point of view under pushback, and shipping in thin slices rather than betting everything on one big release
- Pragmatic judgment about when AI earns its place over rules-based or scoring approaches, including how to design for trust when stakes are high and how to tell whether a build is actually working
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.
