Instrumentl, Oakland, California
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.
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. Then you'll turn what you learn into strategy across Platform (data layer, MCP, and BI) and Core (Tracker, Tasks, Reports, and Integrations), the layers that decide whether customers experience Instrumentl as one connected system or a set of separate features.
If you get energy from customer conversations and want them to shape the hard zero-to-one calls on a platform roadmap other teams can align behind, this is the seat.
Our ideal candidate is proactive, eager to learn, willing to experiment, and excited to collaborate with multiple teams to enhance the customer experience at Instrumentl. Get to know us at instrumentl.com/about!

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.
Instrumentl is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building an inclusive workplace and do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, or any other legally protected status. We encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply. We also consider qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records in accordance with applicable fair chance laws. If you need a reasonable accommodation during the application or interview process, please let us know.
