Job Description
Hello, we’re Instrumentl.
Nonprofits do some of the most important work in the world, and most of them are still managing grants in spreadsheets. We're fixing that.
Instrumentl is a profitable, hypergrowth, YC-backed SaaS platform building the operating system for grant-funded organizations. More than 5,500 nonprofits use Instrumentl to discover, track, and win grant funding, from local community organizations to the San Diego Zoo and the University of Alaska. Collectively they’ve moved over $1 billion through our platform.
We're growing quickly, customers love us (check out our G2 reviews!), and we're hiring people who want to build something that matters.
Financial Data & Compliance
- Own end-to-end design for Manage, from discovery and research through ship and iteration
- Shape how financial data is surfaced for people who are not accountants: budget versus actuals, burn rates, variance flags, forecast views
- Design compliance review workflows against federal grant rules, where an error costs an organization its funding
- Untangle how three accounting integrations and template-based imports present as one coherent experience
Discovery & Definition
- Recruit and interview grant professionals, then turn what you hear into insight and shipped product
- Write your own brief and set roadmap direction in partnership with your PM rather than waiting for a spec
- Drive definition in greenfield areas including program financials and cross-functional workflows
- Sequence the thousand things you could build into the handful that matter this quarter
Partnership & Craft
- Design multi-stakeholder workflows spanning grant professionals, finance teams, and program staff
- Bring a point of view into the room and push back when something is not right for users
- Partner closely with engineering in a fast-shipping environment and measure what you ship
- Contribute to the quality bar across Instrumentl's design system
Required
- 7+ years of product design experience with end-to-end ownership of a full product domain, not a slice of one
- Experience designing in fintech or another highly regulated space such as healthcare, where compliance and data accuracy carry real consequences
- Deep expertise designing data-dense B2B SaaS interfaces: financial dashboards, reporting views, tracking tools, or similar multi-entity systems
- Ability to conduct and synthesize user research independently alongside your PM
Nice to have
- Time at a smaller company, ideally under 100 people and under 500 at minimum, where you owned the whole domain
- Prototyping with AI tools, for example building working prototypes in Claude or v0 Cursor that engineers can build from
- Exposure to accounting tools, fund reporting, or audit and compliance workflows
- Experience designing for nonprofits or social impact
- Design systems experience
- Familiarity with accessibility standards
- Comfort with basic front-end concepts to collaborate closely with engineers
- Experience mentoring other designers
