Hello, we’re Instrumentl.
We’re a mission‑focused startup supporting nonprofits in creating meaningful impact, and we’re rapidly becoming the top‑rated platform for grant discovery and management. To help us reach that goal, we’re looking for a curious and driven Events & Community Manager to partner with our Growth team and scale key initiatives across our go‑to‑market efforts.

If you enjoy designing events, connecting people with great learning opportunities, experimenting with new ideas, and creating social impact through tech, this role is for you.

About us:
Instrumentl is a fast‑growing, YC‑backed company serving more than 4,000 nonprofits—from local shelters to large institutions like the San Diego Zoo and the University of Alaska. Our platform is building the future of fundraising automation, helping nonprofits find, track, and manage grants more efficiently.

Our growth is strong and consistent—we’re cash‑flow positive, doubling annually, and our customers love us (NPS 65+ and Ellis PMF 60+). Come join our accelerating journey.

About the role:
As an Events & Community Manager, you’ll plan, organize, and run educational events while also leading community engagement programs. Your work will focus on generating demand through impactful experiences and nurturing a vibrant, engaged community.

We’re looking for someone who thinks strategically, excels at fostering community, and continuously looks for ways to optimize and evolve processes.

You’ll join a small, highly autonomous team and report directly to Will, our Head of Growth. Learn more about us at https://www.instrumentl.com/about.
