This role will help translate business needs into clear requirements, coordinate product rollout and adoption, gather feedback, track enhancements, and support continuous improvement of internally developed solutions. While this role is not expected to serve as the team’s primary developer, the successful candidate should have sufficient technical fluency to understand software development concepts, data workflows, user experience considerations, and the practical implications of technical decisions. Maintaining an in-office presence is important to delivering our services through an integrated and collaborative work culture. This position will reside in either our Houston or Philadelphia office with a hybrid in-office/remote working schedule.

• Product Strategy & Roadmap Support: Support the execution of the product vision and roadmap for eData and DAG Development solutions. Help translate product ideas and stakeholder needs into clear priorities, requirements, and actionable next steps. Communicate the value, purpose, and practical use cases of new tools and features to internal stakeholders. Assist with rollout, onboarding, and adoption of new functionality.

Help maintain visibility into product status, upcoming releases, enhancement priorities, and stakeholder feedback.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with legal teams, practice technology, practice support, development, and other technical and non-technical stakeholders. Act as a liaison between the development team and business users to clarify needs, communicate constraints, and support effective decision-making.

Serve as a central coordination point for product-related requests, feedback, and enhancement tracking.
• Product Development Support: Manage feature intake and first-level requirements gathering. Assist with early shaping and definition of work before development review. Translate stakeholder needs into clear requirements, user stories, workflow notes, acceptance criteria, or other development-ready documentation. Coordinate project activities, stakeholder communications, and follow-up items. Support documentation, workflow mapping, release notes, and user-facing guidance. Prepare and deliver internal demos and help promote awareness of internally developed solutions. Assist with internal application support, onboarding, configuration, and troubleshooting coordination. Track post-launch feedback and help determine whether issues should be handled as support, training, configuration, or future enhancement items.
• Data, AI & Analytics Support: Support products and features involving eDiscovery, data analytics, AI/ML, and Generative AI-enabled workflows, including Technology-Assisted Review (TAR), Predictive coding and machine learning. Generative AI applications for summarization, privilege detection, clustering, and related use cases. Review analytics, workflow optimization, and cost-reduction initiatives. Assist with requirements gathering, rollout planning, user feedback, and enhancement tracking for data, AI, and analytics solutions. Use feedback, usage patterns, and support themes to help identify opportunities to improve review efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance user experience.
• Adoption & Enablement: Partner with internal stakeholders on product positioning, demos, communications, and adoption planning. Support onboarding for internal users, legal teams, practice groups, and, where applicable, client-facing solution rollouts. Proactively gather feedback from users and stakeholders to support continuous improvement. Help prepare training materials, release notes, FAQs, workflow guides, and other enablement resources. Coordinate post-launch check-ins to assess adoption, usability, support needs, and future enhancements.
