How to Find and Apply for Jobs at Submittable

Finding and applying for roles connected to Submittable starts with choosing the right application path. Submittable provides a submissions platform that many organizations use for their own hiring and internships, which can make it easy to land on the “wrong” intake page if you rely only on search results.

This guide focuses on practical, evidence-based steps for identifying the correct Submittable-related job listing, understanding what the application experience typically looks like, and knowing when an organization-hosted “general application” form is (and isn’t) the best choice.

Which page should you use to apply to Submittable?

Use the correct Career Site designed for Submittable jobs and Submittable careers—where Submittable-hosted openings are organized as individual job postings. In the materials provided, the most direct, role-focused submission path is through Submittable’s hiring portal for openings, rather than an external organization’s intake form.

By contrast, the link on nalac.submittable.com is an organization-specific general application page hosted under a Submittable subdomain for National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures (NALAC). The specific page is visible here: NALAC “jobs and internship general application”, and the related submissions landing page is here: NALAC Submission Manager.

Bottom line: if the goal is to apply to roles at Submittable itself, use the Submittable postings built for that purpose. Reserve organization-hosted forms like the NALAC portal for situations where the target organization is actually NALAC.

What the application process looks like inside Submittable listings

When you’re applying via Submittable jobs listings, the experience typically follows a “view listing → start application” flow. In practice, this means that once you open a specific role, the listing provides an “apply” path (for example, an “Apply for this job” option), and the job-specific submission instructions and requirements are presented alongside the posting.

Because requirements can vary by role, the safest approach for how to apply at Submittable is to treat each posting as authoritative. Some roles may include instructions and required materials directly in the job description, while others may route you through a standard application flow after you click the apply option.

Practical steps:

Open the role page fully and read the application instructions and requirements shown there.
Follow the role-specific steps exactly before submitting.
Confirm that all required information for that particular opening is complete before final submission.

When (and when not) to use the nalac.submittable.com submission form

The nalac.submittable.com link is best understood as an organization-based intake form for “jobs and internship general application” for NALAC—not a Submittable-only corporate hiring funnel. This is reflected in the page content and purpose described on the NALAC intake page: NALAC “jobs and internship general application”.

Use it when:

You intend to apply to positions or internships for NALAC (the organization hosting the form).

Do not use it when:

You’re trying to apply specifically for roles at Submittable and want to ensure you’re submitting through Submittable’s job listing application process rather than a different employer’s intake system.
You’re using the form as a substitute for applying to a specific Submittable job posting that you found in Submittable’s listings.

How to make sure your application is going to the right team

Even with the correct platform, misrouting can happen if the application path doesn’t match the intended employer. To reduce that risk, validate the basics right before you submit:

Employer fit: confirm the role you’re applying to is actually at Submittable, not an organization using Submittable’s tools for its own hiring.
Posting alignment: use the job posting that corresponds to the role you want (rather than a general intake intended for another organization’s hiring).
Instruction matching: if the role page includes required steps or materials, follow those instructions instead of assuming a general form will satisfy the same requirements.

For context on Submittable’s role in the ecosystem, Submittable describes itself as a company in the grant management and workflow space, and its platform can be used by organizations in different ways: Submittable: Grant Management CSR Software.

Common application mistakes to avoid

Avoid these issues that frequently happen when portals look similar:

Submitting to the wrong employer intake. Organization-hosted “general application” forms can be valid, but only for the organization that owns that posting and intake.
Missing role-specific requirements. Some Submittable listings include instructions and required information directly in the posting—submit what the role asks for.
Relying on assumptions based on a subdomain. A Submittable-hosted subdomain (like nalac.submittable.com) signals an organization-specific intake, which isn’t automatically the same as Submittable’s own hiring process.

Next steps

Use Submittable jobs / Submittable careers listings as your Career Site to find the opening you want.
For each role, start the application from the job posting and follow the requirements shown for that specific listing.
Use nalac.submittable.com only for NALAC jobs and internships—not as a substitute for applying to Submittable roles.
