Staff Product Designer (Grant OS)

Hello, we’re Instrumentl. 👋

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.

Required

• 8+ years of product design experience, with meaningful time at senior or staff level
• B2B SaaS background, especially in complex or enterprise-adjacent systems
• Proven track record owning complex B2B product areas end-to-end, including multi-entity workflows where data relationships, user roles, and cross-team collaboration intersect
• 0-to-1 product ownership: you've started from a problem rather than a spec, and made good calls under uncertainty
• Experience with agentic or AI-powered product surfaces, and already using AI tools in your design practice
• Strong systems thinking and Figma/prototyping craft, deep involvement in user research from planning through synthesis, and the ability to influence product vision rather than just execute it

Nice to have

• Design systems experience: defining patterns, not just using them
• Exposure to compliance, data integrity, or workflow-heavy domains
• Experience mentoring or coaching other designers
• Familiarity with the nonprofit or social impact sector

For US-based candidates, the target base salary range is $210,000 to $245,000, plus equity. Final compensation is determined based on experience, skillset, scope, interview performance, and geographic location.

Benefits

• 100% covered health, dental, and vision insurance for employees (50% for dependents)
• Generous PTO, including parental leave
• 401(k)
• Company laptop and home-office stipend
• Bi-annual company retreats
