About the role
Instrument is a remote-first digital product and brand experience agency with a team of over 200 talented individuals, organized across four specialized teams. Each team brings its expertise to life through best-in-class work, crafting transformative experiences for our clients. Our shift to a fully remote model has opened new doors for creativity, flexibility, and stronger client relationships. This approach not only strengthens our culture but also allows us to embrace diverse voices, perspectives, and ideas.
You can lead a complex technical project and find paths forward that enable teams to create great experiences. You know and utilize best practices in producing (including account, project, and product management), yet you don’t follow a formula or merely execute. You’re able to drive every phase of the project lifecycle, partnering with clients, strategists, writers, designers, and developers—embracing and supporting all individuals. You speak all their languages while tirelessly advocating for the most successful project outcome: meeting business goals alongside user needs. From concept to execution you’re always influencing and implementing what is needed to move the project forward.
