Senior Product Designer

Instrumentl is a SaaS platform helping grant-funded organizations discover, track, and win grant funding. The Senior Product Designer will own the Manage post-award product area, designing financial data, compliance workflows, accounting integrations, and data-dense B2B SaaS experiences from discovery through iteration. The role partners with product and engineering, conducts user research, sets roadmap direction, and contributes to the design system.

Responsibilities:

• 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
• 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
• 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

Requirements:

• 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
• 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
