Staff Product Manager, DISCO

• A former lawyer, legal professional, or product manager experienced with legal workflows. 5+ years of experience navigating complex U.S. legal or compliance matters. We strongly prefer a J.D. with 5+ years practicing U.S. law, ideally in complex commercial litigation. The role turns on judgment you can only build by doing the work or being close to the work
• Experienced across law and business. 10+ years across some combination of law, strategy, consulting, legal technology, product, or operations
• A proven operator. You have run complex, cross-functional initiatives from idea through execution, and you measure yourself on outcomes rather than activity
• Comfortable at both altitudes. You can hold a strategy conversation with executives, then work through the operational detail that makes the strategy real
• A clear communicator. You make yourself understood by legal, product, and technical audiences, and you adjust register without losing precision
• Sound in judgment. You are at ease in commercially and legally sensitive situations, and you know what discretion requires
• High ownership. You move quickly, you take the outcome personally, and ambiguity does not stall you
• Customer Focus & Insight: Deeply understand user needs and pain points through research to guide product decisions
• Strategic Clarity: Create and communicate clear direction aligned with business goals and measurable outcomes
• Delivery of Top Priorities: Drive high-quality and timely delivery of the most important new products and experiences
• Own the Outcome: Take full responsibility for achieving results and measurable impact from definition through iteration

Desirable

• DISCO is building AI that litigators can rely on during live matters
• That reliability comes down to the legal information underneath it — whether the case law, dockets, and source materials are complete, accurate, and current, and whether a lawyer can trust what the system tells them about the record
• You will own that
• As a lawyer technologist on our unified litigation platform product team, you will set DISCO’s legal data strategy and carry it through: what we cover, how we judge quality, and how we keep both improving as the product moves from pilot to general availability
• You will work directly with litigators at design-partner firms, translate what you hear into product priorities, and partner with engineering and AI teams to build it
• This role exists because the judgment it requires is legal judgment
• Whether a cited case actually stands for the proposition
• Whether a holding has been characterized correctly
• Whether a source is authoritative for the question being asked
• That comes from practice, which is why we are hiring a lawyer or product manager with deep legal experience rather than a generalist product manager
• Own DISCO’s legal data strategy. Define our approach to legal information coverage, quality, and reliability across DISCO’s AI-powered products, and carry it from definition through execution
• Turn litigation workflows into product priorities. Assess what practitioners actually need from source materials across key litigation workflows, and translate that into clear, actionable priorities the team can build against
• Partner across the company. Work with Engineering, AI, Design, and Commercial Strategy teams to design and ship initiatives that help practicing lawyers in meaningful ways
• Build processes that scale. Establish repeatable ways to evaluate, organize, and maintain legal information, and keep improving coverage, quality, and usability as we grow
• Decide with evidence. Bring data to prioritization calls, and find the operational improvements in how legal information gets managed
• Keep leadership close to the truth. Communicate progress, tradeoffs, risks, and dependencies clearly to senior stakeholders — including when the news is inconvenient
