From the employer
Hello, we’re Instrumentl. 👋
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 quickly, customers love us (check out our G2 reviews!), and we're hiring people who want to build something that matters.
About the role:
- We’re hiring a Senior Content Marketing Manager, reporting to the Senior Product Marketing Manager, to own Instrumentl’s content ecosystem as we evolve from a grant discovery tool into a full-lifecycle grant operating system. You’ll steward our editorial vision and brand voice across every channel, drive full-funnel growth, and shape how nonprofits discover and trust Instrumentl as the platform they can’t live without.
What you'll do:
- Partner with growth product, agencies, and freelancers to grow SEO and GEO traffic quarter over quarter
- Guide keyword and topic strategy, set the bar for editorial quality, and develop subject matter expertise in grants and nonprofit fundraising
- Stay current on how generative search is reshaping content distribution and bring a POV on what to test
- Develop and steward Instrumentl’s editorial vision and brand voice across blog, newsletter, social, and events
- Build and run a content calendar where every asset earns its keep, turning one webinar or report into downstream pieces across channels
- Get hands-on with the highest-leverage work: original research, product copy, and flagship pieces where editorial judgment matters most
- Partner with product marketing and growth on ad campaigns, gated assets, landing pages, sales collateral, and nurture sequences
- Set up AI workflows the rest of the team can use to draft and QA on-brand copy quickly without diluting our voice
- Manage a roster of freelancers and agencies to execute at scale

- Ability to quickly develop subject matter expertise in a complex domain through research and SME interviews
- Experience with nonprofit, social impact, or mission-driven organizations
- Background in grants, fundraising, or nonprofit operations
- Experience managing freelancers and agency relationships
