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 day-to-day execution of the scaled CS motion, where a small team supports a high volume of lower-ACV customers through data-driven, one-on-one engagements
  • Design the customer journey for scale: define the touchpoints, plays, and automation that help customers reach value without a dedicated CSM for every account
  • Set clear, data-driven goals for the team tied to activation, adoption, retention, and expansion across the scaled book
  • Partner with the book-of-business motion so accounts move cleanly between segments and customers never fall through the cracks
  • Manage, coach, and develop a team of roughly six Scaled Customer Success Managers
  • Run effective 1:1s focused on performance, skill development, and growth
  • Conduct call and workflow reviews and provide enablement to help the team improve their craft
  • Support goal-setting, feedback, and performance management in alignment with company values
  • Build and own the operating rhythm for scale: segmentation, health scoring, playbooks, and the reporting that tells you where to focus
  • Stand up and improve the systems the motion runs on, including CRM workflows, lifecycle automation, and dashboards
  • Use data and customer signals to decide where the team spends its time and to catch risk early
  • Identify gaps in execution and proactively improve workflows and handoffs as the motion matures
  • Join customer calls and conversations as needed, including escalations and moments that need a leader in the room
  • Guide the team through complex customer situations and decision-making
  • Model strong customer communication, empathy, and problem-solving in real interactions
  • 5+ years in Customer Success, including direct people management of a CSM team, at a level where you owned team performance and development
  • Demonstrated ownership of a scaled, pooled, or digital-first CS motion that you actually ran, not just observed, with a track record of driving retention or expansion at high volume
  • A genuinely data-driven, operational approach: you build the segmentation, health scoring, playbooks, and reporting a scaled motion runs on rather than managing account by account
  • Proven ability to move fast and stay effective in a startup environment: comfortable with ambiguity, iterating in the open, and building process where none exists yet
  • Nice to Have
