Full Job Description
Forward Deployed Product Manager

We look for leaders who are excited to tackle unsolved problems and to own the outcome end to end. This is not a traditional product role and you will NOT be managing a backlog from a desk. As a Forward Deployed Product Manager, you embed with our most strategic customers and lead the cross-functional team - engineers, strategists, and operators, on our side and theirs - that turns our technology into results they can rely on.

Willingness to travel to and spend extended time on-site with customers is required.

Responsibilities
  • Own the delivery of results for strategic customers, from first engagement through production impact
  • Lead cross-functional deployment teams - Forward Deployed Engineers, strategists, and operations - across both Causal Labs and the customer
  • Embed with customers in their operational environment to understand what winning looks like, and drive relentlessly toward it
  • Coordinate the many moving parts of a complex deployment, keeping every stakeholder aligned and moving
  • Turn what you learn in the field into direction that sharpens the product and the next deployment


What we're looking for

We value a relentless approach to problem-solving, rapid execution, and the ability to quickly learn in unfamiliar domains.
  • A track record of delivering complex, high-stakes projects for demanding customers or stakeholders
  • Exceptional cross-functional leadership - you get engineers, operators, and executives rowing in the same direction
  • Comfort embedding with customers, including significant travel and time on-site in operational environments
  • Strong technical fluency - enough to lead a technical team and earn its respect, without needing to write the code yourself
  • Ownership, urgency, and the judgment to make the right calls with incomplete information
