Founded in 2018, Causaly’s AI platform for enterprise-scale scientific research redefines the limits of human productivity. We give humans a powerful new way to find, visualize and interpret biomedical knowledge and automate critical research workflows, accelerating solutions for some of the greatest health challenges we face.
We work with some of the world's largest biopharma companies and institutions on use cases spanning Drug Discovery, Safety and Competitive Intelligence. You can read more about how we accelerate knowledge acquisition and improve decision making in our blog posts here: Blog - Causaly
We are backed by top VCs including ICONIQ, Index Ventures, Pentech and Marathon.
Role summary
Causaly is already an established B2B enterprise product, trusted by leading pharmaceutical companies to drive scientific decisions with speed and rigor. Now we’re taking the next step: bringing that same step-change in productivity to scientists everywhere.
Our ambition is big and explicit: make Causaly the default scientific productivity tool for the world. That means expanding beyond enterprise pharma into academia, small and mid-sized biotech, life science professionals, hospital and translational researchers, and other research-driven environments where evidence, traceability, and speed matter. We will set aggressive growth targets and build a second growth engine that can scale independently and sustainably.
This role sits at the center of that ambition. You’ll operate with high autonomy—think like a GM for the motion—and you’ll build the engine from scratch: the growth model, the loops, the operating cadence, and the metrics. It’s a builder role for someone with a founder mentality who wants to own outcomes end-to-end.
You’ll do it on the cutting edge: our product foundation is Agentic Research, enabling AI-native scientific workflows that can be adopted by the masses with minimal training. And you’ll be expected to move fast by default—leveraging modern AI-native growth tooling (AI SDRs, AI lifecycle + nudges, automated experimentation/insight loops) and tight iteration with engineering to ship new hooks quickly and compound learnings at high velocity.
Responsibilities
Own the growth business: define the growth strategy, KPI stack, operating cadence, and clear stop/scale recommendations.
Build the acquisition engine: develop repeatable channel programs (academia, biotech, communities, professional networks) and scale what works.
Ship activation that converts: design onboarding and “time-to-value” flows that consistently get users to a first meaningful outcome fast.
Create retention loops: build habit-forming mechanics (saved work, templates, alerts, “continue” flows) and improve cohort retention month over month.
Drive monetization experiments: packaging and conversion (free→paid), paywalls/credits, pricing tests, and upgrade flows—with clear learning goals.
Run high-velocity experimentation: maintain a weekly shipping/testing rhythm across product, lifecycle, and distribution.
Own measurement and insight: instrumentation, dashboards, funnel/cohort analysis, and crisp exec/board-ready reporting.
Partner on unit economics: work closely with engineering to keep AI costs bounded (quotas/credits) while maximizing “aha before wall.”
Key qualifications
Proven PLG growth operator with ownership of activation/retention/conversion outcomes, ideally on a prosumer product. You have c.5-6 years experience in growth/product-led roles.
Strong experimentation DNA (hypotheses → tests → decisions) and a bias to shipping.
Lifecycle + retention strength: demonstrated ability to move cohort curves through product and lifecycle work.
Monetization experience: packaging/pricing/paywalls/credits (or equivalent) with disciplined learning.
Highly analytical: fluent in funnels/cohorts and comfortable owning instrumentation + KPIs.
Builder / founder mentality: thrives in 0→1 ambiguity, high autonomy, and end-to-end accountability.
AI-native operator: comfortable using modern AI tools to accelerate growth execution and partnering with engineers to ship new hooks fast.
Nice-to-haves
Experience building sharing/referral loops and incentive mechanics (credits, invites, viral artifacts).
Experience scaling from individual users to teams (collaboration, seat expansion, org conversion).
Experience in scientific, data-heavy, or regulated workflows (research tools, analytics, developer tools).
