Here at Forecast we’re building the next generation of intelligent project management software - making the lives of project managers easier at the touch of a button with our machine learning capabilities. We give creatives, project leaders, and financial managers time back from the boring stuff, so they can serve their clients, not spreadsheets. 

As a Product Manager you’ll be hands on, working with a dedicated cross functional team obsessed with making the very best solutions for our customers. Our subject focus of project, resource and financial management might be complex, but we want to make it anything but! Easy to use, intuitive but powerful - that’s what we deliver.

Are you our New Product Manager

We believe that there’s a better way for Project & Finance leaders to be spending their time than building their personal spreadsheets for project finances. We think, we can take complicated financials and make them simple. With ease of use at the centre of how we build, our financial solutions start simple, and then scale. So when projects get complex, our financial solution  can power up to do the heavy lifting, from the intricacies of proposals to big retainer projects.

Your mission is to make everyone able to work with financials and to make project financials a breeze for our Professional Services customers - from proposals/quotes, estimations budgeting, invoices & more.
