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 Customer Success Manager to partner with our customers (nonprofits and grant writers) and provide the guidance they need to achieve their goals while using our platform.

Are you motivated by customer happiness? Do you enjoy building lasting relationships and helping customers to realize value? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you.

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+). Join us on this rocket ship!

About the role:

In your first year as a Customer Success Manager, you will help expand our company’s reach by scaling our CS efforts. You'll be an advocate for our customers at every stage of the journey, from onboarding to driving new engagement, gathering product feedback, ensuring renewals and tackling upsells.

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!

Instrumentl 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 candidates based in the continental US, between the Pacific and Eastern time zones.

  • Nurture and grow the relationship between Instrumentl and your assigned customer portfolio through 1-on-1 interactions 
  • Co-create communication strategies with Customer Enablement Managers to drive the broadest engagement across our customer base, the most meaningful engagement tactics, and the best adoption, retention and upsell results
  • Meet and exceed customer satisfaction, adoption, renewal, and expansion targets
  • Conduct business reviews and proactively identify ways Instrumentl can better support our customers
  • Serve as the voice of our customers, share customer feedback, and advocate for our customers' needs, especially with revenue and product teams
