Job Description

We are seeking a Program/Product Manager to support a growing Legal Technology Operations organization that builds and operates technology solutions for the Legal business.

This role is a true hybrid of Product Management and Project/Program Management. A significant portion of the role will involve partnering with non-technical business stakeholders who may not initially know exactly what they need. This person will lead discovery conversations to understand the business objective, problem statement, customer journey, and current workflow, then translate those findings into future-state processes, business and functional requirements, roadmaps, and prioritized backlogs.

The individual will manage a higher volume of smaller technology initiatives simultaneously and drive them through requirements, development, testing, deployment, adoption, and post-launch support. Projects will include AI-enabled solutions, workflow/process automation, Legal Technology, reporting, CLM, and other business technology initiatives.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Lead discovery sessions to understand business objectives, user/customer needs, pain points, workflows, and desired outcomes.
• Help business stakeholders turn ambiguous needs into clearly defined problems, requirements, and technology solutions.
• Personally elicit, refine, document, and validate business and functional requirements.
• Build process diagrams, customer journeys, and current-state/future-state workflows to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.
• Develop and manage product roadmaps and backlogs, including prioritization of requirements and enhancements.
• Partner with technologists/developers to translate business and functional requirements into technical workstreams.
• Manage multiple smaller technology and AI initiatives simultaneously from discovery through deployment and hypercare.
• Drive open actions, risks, issues, and dependencies to closure and escalate appropriately when progress is blocked.
• Coordinate across Legal/business stakeholders, developers, data teams, IT, leadership, and external vendors.
• Provide clear, concise project status and risk communication to directors, VPs, and other executive stakeholders.
• Lead testing, deployment readiness, adoption/training, and post-production issue resolution.
• Ensure delivered solutions address the original business problem and achieve the intended business outcome.
