Who we are

Smokeball helps law firms bill more without their clients paying more. Intriguing, right? We were founded by technology leaders with more than 20 years of experience in delivering impactful legal technology products. Our leadership continually strives to develop a company, culture, and team that share a profound love for the law and is compelled to help small law firms find success. Our mission isn’t simple, but it is straightforward: help small law firms be successful businesses so that they can better serve our communities.

What makes us special?

• Culture is sacred. As a 'Best Places to Work' winner four years in a row, we believe company culture is the single most important ingredient to our success. At the end of the day, it is all about our people.
• The best product in Legal Tech. We think deeply about the challenges small law firms face. We do not bother with simply delivering a “faster horse,” we drive innovations that truly enhance the lives and businesses of our clients. Check out our ratings on G2, Capterra, and Google.
• Industry Opportunity. The Legal Tech industry is estimated to be worth around $15bn and is growing every year. Smokeball is growing right along with it, and we like to take our people with us.

At Smokeball, we believe there is nothing more powerful than a community of people coming together to work on a product that they, and our clients, love. When it comes to working as a community, we see the value in both coming together and allowing our “Smokeballers” the flexibility that remote work offers.

All Chicago employees are in the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays. While our office is open 5 days a week, we allow you to choose what works best for you on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday.

Our office is in the heart of the Loop within 10 minutes of the Metra and all “EL” trains. And, we have lots (and lots) of snacks.

The Role

As a Senior Product Manager at Smokeball, you’ll drive strategic direction, innovation, and execution for our SaaS solutions for law firms. You will be a key member of a cross-functional team delivering product solutions that significantly enhance client experience, accelerate product adoption, and drive measurable business results.

This is a hybrid role with our office being in Chicago, IL.

A Typical Day Involves

• Define, own, and execute the product roadmap aligned with Smokeball’s strategic vision and client needs.
• Collaborate closely with Subject Matter Experts, UX/UI, engineering, marketing, client success, and sales to create compelling, innovative features.
• Leverage user analytics, market research, and customer feedback to prioritize and optimize features and functionalities.
• Implement data-driven decision-making, continuously refining product strategies based on usage data, market trends, and competitive analysis.
• Facilitate product launches, including go-to-market plans, user training, adoption monitoring, and iteration based on client insights.
• Actively contribute to our product management culture through mentorship, best practice sharing, and cross-team collaboration.

What You Bring

• 8+ years of product management experience with SaaS platforms, preferably in B2B markets.
• Demonstrated success delivering software products from concept through launch, driving user adoption and revenue growth.
• Expertise in defining and managing product roadmaps, prioritizing feature development, and managing cross-functional teams.
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills with the ability to synthesize data and insights to inform strategic decisions.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills, the ability to influence multiple levels internally and externally.
• Familiarity with product management tools and agile methodologies; experience with Salesforce, Jira, or similar platforms preferred.

Your manager is Victoria, who lives in Chicago with her partner and brings a wealth of product launch and go-to-market experience. She values smart execution, creative thinking, and supporting employee growth.
