Nonprofits do some of the most important work in the world, and most of them are still managing grants in spreadsheets. We're fixing that.

Instrumentl is a profitable, hypergrowth, YC-backed SaaS platform building the operating system for grant-funded organizations. More than 5,500 nonprofits use Instrumentl to discover, track, and win grant funding, from local community organizations to the San Diego Zoo and the University of Alaska. Collectively they’ve moved over $1 billion through our platform.

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.

  • Own research and recommendations for which conferences and field events Instrumentl should invest in
  • Build and maintain an event calendar aligned with marketing and revenue goals
  • Develop a clear POV on where we show up, why it matters, and what success looks like
  • Track spend against budget and flag opportunities to improve ROI
  • End-to-End Conference Management
  • Own every phase of conference execution including booth logistics, organizer relationships, registrations, cross-functional coordination, swag and shipping
  • Build repeatable playbooks so the program scales smoothly
  • Partner with Sales, RevOps, PMM, Partnerships, and Virtual Events on pre- and post-event outreach
  • Plan ancillary events (happy hours, dinners) that deepen relationships with prospects and customers
  • Manage vendor relationships and negotiate contracts to maximize value
  • Help define what Instrumentl's in-person presence looks like beyond conferences
  • Own programs end-to-end including venue sourcing, guest lists, invites, onsite hosting, and follow-up
  • Build the playbook from scratch (city selection, formats, budget guardrails) so it's repeatable from day one
  • Surface insights from these events to cross-functional teams
  • Own lead capture at events and ensure clean, timely handoff to RevOps and Sales
  • Track performance against pipeline goals including leads, meetings booked, and opportunities generated, with strong awareness of cost efficiency and ROI
  • Produce post-event recaps with insights and recommendations
  • Be the company's eyes and ears in the field by synthesizing customer sentiment, competitive presence, and market trends into a regular feedback loop
  • Manage event Slack channels, run kick-off meetings, and keep stakeholders informed throughout the planning cycle

  • 4–7 years of B2B event marketing experience in a SaaS or tech environment
  • A track record of owning successful conference and trade show programs end-to-end including event prioritization, budget management, cross-functional coordination, vendor partnership, onsite logistics and ownership of business outcomes
  • Comfort operating in a fast-moving startup environment; you're equally capable of thinking strategically and setting up the booth kit
  • You bring a spirit of operational rigor and continuous improvement; you're always looking for ways to make the next time better and have an eye for efficiency
  • Ability to travel up to 30% of the time
  • Nice to Have
