Senior Product Designer

Instrumentl is a profitable, hypergrowth, YC-backed SaaS platform building the operating system for grant-funded organizations. They are seeking a Senior Product Designer to own the Manage product area, focusing on creating tools that improve the grant management process for nonprofits. The role involves leading design efforts, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and utilizing AI to enhance user experience.

Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end design for the Manage product area: discovery and research through shipping and iteration
• Shape how financial data is visualized for non-accountants: budget vs. actuals, burn rates, variance flags, and forecast views
• Design complex, multi-stakeholder workflows for cross-team collaboration across grant professionals, finance teams, and program staff
• Drive definition of completely greenfield spaces where the infrastructure is still being invented
• Envision and design AI-powered features that free up grant professionals’ time and increase compliance
• Bring systems thinking to data-dense, multi-entity problems: cut through complexity until it feels intuitive
• Use AI tools actively in your design practice: prototyping, iteration, and thinking seriously about how AI advances product development
• Raise the quality bar across Instrumentl’s design system
• Bring point of view into the room, push back when something isn’t right for users, and drive alignment across engineering, product, and GTM
• Conduct and synthesize user research independently to surface insights and patterns

Requirements:

• 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
• Active use of AI tools in your design workflow
• Experience designing for nonprofits or social impact organizations
• Exposure to financial software, accounting tools, compliance workflows, or fund reporting
• Design systems experience
• Familiarity with accessibility standards
• Comfort with basic front-end concepts (HTML, CSS)
• Experience mentoring other designers
