Job description

LawVu is the AI-native operating system for in‑house legal - the foundational layer that powers the entire legal function. Our intelligent platform connects legal intake, matters, contracts, spend, and reporting in one connected workspace, enabling legal teams to work smarter, move faster, and deliver measurable business value.

Trusted by leading organizations including Discord, Employment Hero, Etsy, and many more, LawVu is helping legal teams transform from reactive service providers into strategic business partners.

Founded in New Zealand, LawVu is a fast‑growing global software company with customers and employees across North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Backed by leading venture capital firms, including Insight Partners and Airtree Ventures, we’re creating a new category of LegalOS software purpose‑built for modern in‑house legal teams.

About The Role

As a Senior Product Designer at LawVu, you’ll lead the customer experience for LawVu Draft and the journeys that connect it with the wider LawVu platform.

Draft joined LawVu through acquisition and is an important part of our vision for reimagining how legal work gets done. You’ll shape its next evolution: creating an intuitive, distinctly LawVu experience and connecting the jobs customers do across drafting, reviewing, contract lifecycle management and the wider LegalOS.

Within your Product Trio, Design leads customer experience and desirability. You’ll work alongside Product, Legal and Engineering from discovery through delivery and iteration, bringing deep customer understanding, rapid exploration and strong design judgement to ensure we build experiences customers value and love to use.

What you’ll do

Lead The Customer Experience

• Build a deep understanding of how legal teams work and use it to shape a clear experience vision for Draft, balancing near‑term improvements with reimagining how legal work could work in the future.
• Design seamless end‑to‑end journeys across Draft and LawVu’s wider LegalOS, simplifying complex legal workflows into intuitive, coherent experiences.

Drive discovery and design

• Lead design discovery through customer insight, journey mapping, prototyping, usability testing, data and experimentation.
• Partner with Product and Engineering to frame problems, explore alternatives and make evidence‑based trade‑offs.
• Use prototypes to make ideas tangible early, validate assumptions with customers and reduce the time between an idea and meaningful learning.
• Stay engaged after launch, using customer feedback, behavioural data and product analytics to continuously improve the experience.

Apply modern design craft

• Use AI‑assisted design and prototyping tools to increase the speed of exploration, prototyping and validation, while developing a strong point of view on how AI can improve drafting and legal work itself.
• Set a high bar for interaction design, information architecture, visual quality and accessibility.
• Use and evolve LawVu’s design system, collaborating closely with designers across our global team, to create consistent cohesive experiences across the LegalOS.

What success looks like…

• Draft becomes a cohesive part of the LawVu experience, with a clear experience vision and consistently high standard of product design.
• Customers can move seamlessly between drafting, reviewing, contract management and matter management, with fewer disconnected steps and hand‑offs.
• Complex legal work feels simpler, helping customers complete important jobs more confidently and efficiently.
• Your work delivers measurable impact, with relevant customer and product measures defined, tracked and improving.
• You raise the quality of design across LawVu and contribute meaningfully to shared design practices, team OKRs, company goals and our values.

Skills And Experience

• 5+ years’ experience in Product Design, ideally in Legal Tech or complex B2B SaaS.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating end‑to‑end product thinking, from understanding customer problems through to shipped outcomes and iteration.
• Strong interaction and systems design skills, with the ability to simplify complex workflows.
• Strong discovery, prototyping and usability testing capability.
• Fluency with Figma, design systems and modern AI‑assisted design tools.
• Experience working closely with Product Managers and Engineers to shape solutions, not simply execute requirements.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to clearly articulate customer problems, design rationale and trade‑offs.
• Curiosity about legal work and a willingness to develop deep domain expertise.
