About this role
We're growing more than 40% year over year, customers love us (Ellis PMF 60+), and we're hiring people who want to build something that matters.
We're hiring a Senior Product Designer to own Manage, our post-award product area where $1.1B+ in grant funding is tracked, reported on, and kept compliant.
Role requirements and focus
What you’ll work on
- Grant professionals are doing some of the most important, high-stakes work in the country, and they deserve tools to match it. Until recently, that infrastructure didn't exist. Post-award work happened across a patchwork of spreadsheets, email chains, and disconnected accounting exports, with the grant professional as the middleperson: manually moving information between systems instead of doing the strategic work they were hired to do.
- We're building the solution: a single, intelligent platform where every stage of the grant lifecycle connects, and each stage makes the next one smarter. We recently launched Spenddown, enabling nonprofits to see real-time budget vs. actuals tracking synced from accounting systems like Sage Intacct and QuickBooks Online. We're now building toward program financials, cross-functional workflows, reporting functionality, and compliance reviews.
- These are meaty, genuinely hard design problems: complex data models, multi-stakeholder workflows spanning grant professionals, finance teams, and program staff, and high-stakes compliance contexts where post-award mistakes cost organizations their funding. This product area is still being invented, and the designer who owns it will shape what post-award management looks like for thousands of organizations.
- You'll report directly to Hope, Head of Design, and work as a true strategic partner to your PM and engineering lead. This is an IC role with outsized scope, not a feature factory.
- The Instrumentl team is remote. You can design from anywhere in the continental U.S. or Canada as long as you have 4+ hours of overlap with the Pacific time zone. As a close-knit team, we want to have (virtual) face time with you and watch your cat roam in the background. We can't wait to meet you!
What they’re looking for
- 7+ years of product design experience, with at least 2 years at senior level
- Proven track record owning complex B2B or enterprise product areas end-to-end
- Deep expertise designing data-heavy UIs: financial dashboards, tracking tools, reporting views, or similar
- Strong Figma skills: user flows, wireframes, hi-fi mockups, prototypes, and design systems
- Experience working closely with engineers in a fast-shipping startup environment
