Company mission
Causal is a tool for performing calculations, visualising data, and communicating with numbers. We take the good parts of spreadsheets and combine them with the good parts of programming, to make number-crunching fast, collaborative, and accessible to everyone.
Role
Who you are
- Be Startup Savvy: You've gained experience working at a Series A to C startup, thriving in fast-paced and dynamic environments
- Have a Basic Finance Background and Excel Skills: The ideal candidate will have experience in either consulting, finance or FP&A, where they worked with spreadsheets regularly
- Have a Strong Educational Background: You hold a Bachelor's degree and excel at analytical thinking
- Thrive in Ambiguity: You excel in dynamic environments where not everything is fully defined. You confidently navigate uncertainty, take initiative, and make decisions that drive projects forward
- Have Product Management Experience: The ideal candidate will have product management experience at a fast-growing technology company & a proven track record of having successfully shipped large scope products with impact
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Product Manager to serve as a key member of the product function at Causal, deeply understand the customers and their needs, and shape the product roadmap to build a world-class product, enabling Causal to achieve its vision
- Impact: Your work will directly influence how companies and individuals interact with our platform and as a result make critical decisions about their businesses
- Challenge: Work with world class engineering and design team with modern practices on one side, and a broad base of user personas to understand and cater to on the other side
- Collaboration: Join a passionate team that values innovation, creativity, respect and mutual growth
- Deeply Understand Our Product and Customers: Immerse yourself in every aspect of our product and grasp the nuanced needs of our customers to deliver exceptional solutions. Talk with customers/prospects at least 4h per week and dig into product data to always know what the current bottleneck for retention/expansion/activation is
- Lead and Innovate: Play a crucial role in defining the direction of Causal's product, company, and culture, making a lasting impact on our journey forward
- Own the Roadmap: Work with the founders, engineering, and design to maintain and execute upon the product roadmap — detailed for the upcoming month and a flexible view for the next quarter
- PM specific projects on the roadmap, and in partnership w/ lead designer and engineer: drive them from specs → clear scopes, make key decisions/trade-offs, project manage the team to timely delivery to customers, and keep everyone focused along the way
- This also includes having a grasp of overall execution towards roadmap, even on projects that PM is not an owner of
- Focus on Product Polish: Partner with Engineering to strike the right balance between new features vs. performance/reliability/usability improvements. This also involves week-by-week triaging and prioritisation
- Own Internal + External Comms: Own external product communication (e.g. changelog, as well as larger feature launches in collaboration with go-to-market), and user resources (e.g. documentation, community). Own internal product communication to the rest of the org, so that the team knows what our roadmap and priorities look like
- Keep your Eye to the future: Partner with founders, engineering, and design to understand the impact of product changes and use that to inform future decisions

Our take
Causal is a tool for performing calculations, visualising data, and communicating with numbers. Causal takes features from spreadsheets and combines them with key parts of programming, to make number-crunching collaborative and accessible to everyone, isolating key inputs and outputs of the model and visualising the dependencies within the model itself. Causal’s vision is to substitute spreadsheets as the de-facto way to work with numbers on a computer.
It is critical for an operator to identify and understand the levers in its business and gut instincts are no longer sufficient to drive businesses forward efficiently. A few key limitations to spreadsheets have also emerged over time, like live data integration, visual sensitivity analyses, accessibility and understandability for non-experts. Causal’s goal is to help its customers in a complex endeavour like building an effective model by making it a little bit simpler, allowing the client to visualise its business and then share it so that others can understand it and provide input.
