About this Inbound Sales Development Representative role at Instrumentl

Instrumentl · Remote · Remote - USA

Hello, we’re Instrumentl. 👋

Grants fund nonprofit work, but they also create some of the toughest operational challenges. Every grant brings its own deadlines, spending restrictions, reporting requirements, and commitments, so managing that complexity across fundraising, finance, and HR requires more than spreadsheets.

Instrumentl is the system of record for grants. We bring discovery, applications, award compliance, and grant operations into one platform, giving nonprofits a shared foundation to grow their revenue and impact. More than 6,000 nonprofits rely on Instrumentl, from local community groups to state and county governments, universities, and maybe even your local animal shelter.

We're a cash flow positive, YC-backed company building our next chapter, and we're hiring people who will shape and grow the impact of the nonprofit sector.

About the role:

We’re hiring an Inbound Sales Development Representative, reporting to the Senior Sales Development Manager, to be the first point of contact for nonprofits and universities reaching out to learn about Instrumentl.

  • What you'll bring:

    Required

  • You have spent at least one (1) year selling, or 3+ years in another industry and want to get into sales
  • You are comfortable in fast-paced environments, and you bring a dose of humility and a sense of humor to work every day
  • You welcome feedback, champion new ideas, and encourage others to do likewise
  • You’re curious and are constantly getting to the bottom of things
  • You have a bias towards action
  • You don’t mind rolling up your sleeves and doing hard work
  • You have excellent written and verbal communication skills

  • Internship or leadership experience
  • Interest in startups or the nonprofit sector

Final compensation is determined based on experience, skillset, scope of responsibility, interview performance, and geographic location. We’re committed to paying competitively and equitably.
