## 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
