Sales Development Representative

Hello, we’re Instrumentl.

We’re a mission-driven startup helping the nonprofit sector to drive impact, and we’re well on our way to becoming the #1 most-loved grant discovery and management tool. To help us get there, we’re hiring a remote Sales Development Representative to represent Instrumentl to prospective clients.

About us: 

Instrumentl is a hyper-growth YC-backed startup with over 3,000 nonprofit clients, from local homeless shelters to larger organizations like the San Diego Zoo and the University of Alaska. We are building the future of fundraising automation, helping nonprofits to discover, track, and manage grants efficiently through our SaaS platform.

Our charts are dramatically up-and-to-the-right 📈 — we’re cash flow positive and doubling year-over-year, with customers who love us (NPS is 65+ and Ellis PMF survey is 60+). Join us on this rocket ship to Mars!

About the role:

In this role, you’ll be helping organizations big and small get access to more resources so they can grow their impact.

Over the past year, we’ve seen great results reaching out to universities and non-profits to let them know about Instrumentl, and now we are growing a dedicated team to scale this effort. We are looking for someone who loves the idea of spending all day on the phone with non-profits and universities.

But, we’re not just looking for a typical sales rep. We are looking for someone who wants to build a sales career and do good at the same time. 

This role is perfect for a sales professional early on in their career, or someone looking to career switch into sales, that wants to help some of the best organizations in the world.

The Instrumentl team is fully distributed (read: no office!).
