The Opportunity
We're working with a profitable, hypergrowth YC-backed startup building the operating system for grant-funded organizations. Over 5,500 nonprofits use the platform to find, win, and manage grants.
This role owns Manage: the post-award product area where $1.1 billion in grant funding is tracked, reported on, and kept compliant.
The Company
A remote-first team building genuinely mission-driven software. Profitable, fast-moving, and well past the early uncertainty phase. Strong product and design leadership in place, with a Head of Design who's excellent.
The Mission
Post-award grant management has historically meant spreadsheets, email chains, and disconnected accounting exports, with the grant professional as the manual middleperson. This company is replacing all of that: a single platform where every stage of the grant lifecycle connects, and each stage makes the next one smarter.
The Role
- Lead end-to-end design for the Manage product area: discovery and research through shipping and iteration
- Shape how financial data is visualized for non-accountants: budget vs. actuals, burn rates, variance flags, forecast views
- Design complex multi-stakeholder workflows spanning grant professionals, finance teams, and program staff
- Drive definition of greenfield spaces where the infrastructure is still being invented
- Conduct and synthesize user research independently to surface insights and shape product direction
What They're Looking For
- 7+ years of product design experience with at least 2 years at senior level
- Owned complex B2B product areas end to end, not just contributed to them
- Deep experience with data-heavy UIs: financial dashboards, tracking tools, reporting views, or similar
- Comfortable with ambiguity and early-stage definition
- Fast-moving startup experience where process is lightweight and ownership is real
- Already using AI tools in their design practice
