We are seeking an experienced AI Product Manager with deep knowledge of the legal domain to lead the development of AI-powered products that transform how legal professionals work. You will own the vision, strategy, and execution for AI features and systems that support tasks such as legal research, document automation, contract analysis, compliance workflows, and matter management.
This role blends product leadership, applied AI expertise, and legal domain fluency.
Key Responsibilities
Product Strategy & Vision
* Define the long-term product strategy for AI capabilities across our legal tech portfolio.
* Identify high-impact opportunities where AI can deliver measurable value by improving accuracy, speed, compliance, or cost efficiency in legal workflows.
* Conduct competitive, regulatory, and market landscape analyses to inform product direction.
AI/ML Product Development
* Partner with engineering, data science, and UX teams to translate legal problems into AI-driven solutions.
* Define product requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and success metrics for AI features.
* Oversee the life cycle of AI models (classification, extraction, summarization, RAG, LLM fine-tuning, etc.), including data sources, training needs, evaluation standards, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
* Ensure model performance meets legal-grade quality, reliability, and safety thresholds.
Legal Domain Expertise
* Understand legal workflows such as contract life cycle management, e-discovery, compliance reviews, due diligence, case law research, litigation support, and document drafting.
* Translate legal concepts into structured product insights, including risks, edge cases, constraints, and user expectations.
* Work closely with legal SMEs, law firms, corporate legal teams, and regulatory stakeholders to validate solutions.
Governance, Ethics & Compliance
* Ensure adherence to privacy, confidentiality, and attorney-client privilege requirements.
* Implement processes for responsible AI usage, including model explainability, auditability, and risk mitigation.
* Partner with security and compliance teams to maintain regulatory alignment (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, AI Act, etc., depending on jurisdiction).
Metrics & Execution
* Define and monitor KPIs such as model accuracy, cost efficiency, user adoption, and workflow completion rates.
* Drive experimentation frameworks, including A/B testing, evaluation pipelines, and quality assurance.
* Manage the product roadmap, execution timeline, and cross-team communication.
Required Qualifications
* 4-8+ years of experience in product management (or equivalent role), including at least 2+ years working with AI/ML or data-driven products.
