Hello, we’re Instrumentl.
We’re a mission-driven startup helping the nonprofit sector to drive impact, and we’re well on our way to becoming the #1 most-loved grant discovery and management tool. To help us get there, we’re hiring a Growth Product Designer to build innovative technology for our nonprofit customers.
About us:
Instrumentl is a hypergrowth YC-backed startup with over 5,000 nonprofit clients, from local homeless shelters to larger organizations like the San Diego Zoo and the University of Alaska. We are building the future of fundraising automation, helping nonprofits to discover, track, and manage grants efficiently through our SaaS platform.
Our charts are dramatically up-and-to-the-right 📈 — we’re cash flow positive and doubling year-over-year, with customers who love us (NPS is 65+ and Ellis PMF survey is 60+).
About the role:
This role blends product design and growth-driven experimentation. You’ll design across the full user journey — from high-converting landing pages to onboarding flows to core product features that help nonprofits succeed. Most weeks involve a mix of product improvements and targeted growth initiatives. You’ll help translate data, user insights, and hypotheses into designs that drive clear outcomes.
You’ll report to Hope (Lead Product Designer) and work closely with Growth and Product. Get to know us at instrumentl.com/about! We can’t wait to meet you.
The Instrumentl team is fully distributed (though if you’d like to work from our Oakland office, we would love to see you there). For this position, we are looking for significant overlap with the Pacific time zone - as a close-knit team, we want to have (virtual) face time with you, watch your cat roam in the background, and take polaroids together in FigJam.
