SENIOR PRODUCT MANAGER

We’ve built contract review software that combines machine learning, superior workflow, and great user experience to help lawyers truly know what’s in their contracts and documents in order to deliver high quality client deliverables. We’re deliberate in our decision making, clear on our mission and – most importantly – passionate about pairing the power of human intelligence with artificial intelligence into our product.

We’re a remote first team with many of our team members in the eastern time zone, but we’re a global workforce. From building trusted partnerships with our clients to delivering an employee experience that is second to none, our people are at the center of all that we do.

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager who is not afraid to lead and to make the hard decisions required to deliver software that provides world-class experience in the legal industry. We strive to design solutions that our customers and users didn’t even know were possible.

You will work with customers to uncover and document important, unmet needs, and work with cross functional teams to deliver value to our users. You’ll collaborate with our Design and Technology teams to bring new features to market. This role is responsible for the complete product lifecycle including product discovery, creating, and executing on the roadmap, and launching new features with Marketing, Sales and Support.

A DAY IN THE LIFE

The Customer – Senior Product Managers are responsible for clearly articulating who our customers are and the problems they face in their workflow. You’ll engage directly with customers to learn about their needs and concerns. You’ll present and gather feedback on the roadmap. You’re skilled at synthesizing, understanding, and tracking customer data and use it to help prioritize engineering efforts.

The Competition – Senior Product Managers need to be the expert on what the competition is doing as well as where the market is heading from a trend's perspective. You’ll be responsible for a deep understanding of how we differentiate, but not just for difference's sake, but to support our position in the market.

The Requirements – You’ll define engineering efforts by authoring Epics and Stories that clearly define WHO the feature or experience is for, written in the user voice and WHY this effort is valuable. Clear prioritization is critical with a rolling monthly updated roadmap modified and refreshed based on the latest data and customer information.

The Story, The Vision – Everyone from engineering, QA, user experience, marketing and customer facing teams need to know what story we’re trying to tell with the work we’re doing. Not the “What” but the “Why” it matters. A coherent vision told as a story in the user voice is critical for aligning all disciplines to the same goal.

The Roadmap – What is coming next? When is it coming? You’ll drive the beating heart of the Product Development organization. You’ll adjust the prioritization based on customer data, engineering team status and latest strategic priorities. You’ll balance short-term tactical delivery-focused monthly releases with longer term strategic approaches to winning in the market.

The User Experience – You’ll partner with the Litera Design team to ensure the user experience is a first-class citizen in our product development efforts. While the Product Manager does not own the design direction in isolation, they must be passionate about the end user experience and advocate for the various personas.

The End-To-End – Your job is to shepherd the development of the product and to enable the Go-To-Market teams so they’re armed to tell the right story and can support our customers with confidence.
