Nice to have * Entrepreneurial or founder background. * Technical fluency (e.g. SQL) or experience working closely with data platforms, APIs, or BI tooling. ## Description We're hiring a Staff Product Manager to own our 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!, * Stay close to grant professionals' real workflows and pain points through customer calls, workflow observation, and research, and use that insight to pressure-test platform decisions rather than relying on internal signals alone. * Turn customer and internal-stakeholder research into a prioritization framework the whole GrantOS effort can be evaluated against. * Represent the customer's stake in platform trade-offs that are otherwise easy to make purely on technical or organizational grounds. Strategy and roadmap * Own the GrantOS product strategy end to end across Platform and Core, and translate it into a roadmap other teams can build against. * Make the zero-to-one calls on platform direction where there's no established playbook, and turn ambiguity into a decision the org can act on. * Define how success is measured for a platform layer that customers experience indirectly, through the products built on top of it. Cross-team alignment and execution * Drive alignment across the product and engineering teams that depend on GrantOS, resolving competing priorities before they turn into conflicting roadmaps. * Partner closely with engineering leadership on sequencing and trade-offs for platform work with real technical stakes. * Set the standard for how GrantOS decisions get communicated and adopted across the org, so downstream teams aren't caught off guard by platform changes.
