- Strong product judgment, prioritization, and comfort making decisions with imperfect information
- Proven ability to turn customer problems into clear scope, requirements, and measurable outcomes
- Strong execution habits and a track record of delivering what you commit to
- High technical fluency and comfort partnering closely with engineers day-to-day
- Bonus: engineering background or hands-on software-building experience
- Bonus: front-end leaning instincts and a strong eye for UX and product quality
- Strong analytical thinking and comfort using product data to guide decisions
- Experience running experiments to improve activation, retention, or conversion
- AI-native working style that helps you move faster and think sharper
- Comfort with tools like Jira, Confluence, Miro, and Figma
- Clear communication skills and the ability to build trust cross-functionally

What the job involves
- On the heels of our rapid growth and expanding product roadmap, we are looking for a Product Manager to own roadmap execution for our engagement & growth pillar
- Working alongside our Director of Engineering and reporting to our VP of Product, you will be the driving force behind how we activate users and deepen product stickiness
- You’ll design the product experience, engagement systems, and product-led motions that turn new users into long-term, successful customers
- This role exists to bring dedicated product ownership to the core of the Blue J product experience
- Working day-to-day with a cross-functional team (Product, Design, Engineering) and partnering closely with the Director of Engineering leading this area, you’ll bridge the gap between initial discovery and long-term success
- Engagement & growth is where we turn core product value into repeatable, scalable usage
- You’ll own the roadmap for our product-led motion - optimizing the experience and building the systems that ensure every tax professional who uses Blue J finds immediate value and returns to it as their primary place to do tax work
- Define the path forward: partner with Engineering and Design to define and prioritize what we build, why it matters, and how we’ll measure success
- Build deep conviction: develop a profound understanding of what “great engagement” means for tax professionals and translate that into clear problem statements and success metrics
- Navigate trade-offs: align stakeholders on how we will balance customer value, technical constraints, time-to-market, quality, and long-term scalability
- Optimize the “First Mile”: Own the ongoing evolution of our product-led experience as a long-term growth engine - running experiments to improve time-to-value, feature adoption, and conversion
- Identify and solve friction: use data-driven decision making to identify where users drop off and ship improvements that moves the needle on activation and conversion
- Enable self-serve discovery: Build product systems and onboarding flows that help users discover core value quickly without needing a human guide
- Lead structured discovery: conduct interviews, usability testing, and workflow observations to ensure the team is prioritizing the right problems for tax professionals
- Create “sticky” workflows: build the features and systems that help tax professionals be more efficient in the work they do every day
- Partner for continuous delivery: work closely with engineering and design to ship high-quality work with a strong focus on ease of use and product adoption
- Work in the open: share work-in-progress early and often - invite feedback from stakeholders to ensure alignment and visibility
- Enable seamless workflows: help users pick up where they left off, making it effortless to return to past work
- Improving organization: refine navigation patterns to ensure Blue J is the place tax professionals return to every day to do tax work
- Raise the bar for polish: champion UX quality and “quality-of-life” features that eliminate friction and turn casual users into power users
- Bring an operator mindset: prioritize clearly, unblock quickly, and ship work that moves metrics
- Help improve how Product works across Blue J’s development pillars as we scale (rituals, clarity, documentation, decision-making)
- Raise the bar on experimentation, prototyping, and modern PM workflows

- We anticipate a high volume of applicants for this role and are excited to grow our team
- A human will review each application and get back to you as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and look forward to connecting with you!

Our take
Blue J Legal’s AI powered platform was created by a team of law professors and data scientists with the aim of helping fellow legal professionals gain a better understanding of individual cases, more quickly than if they researched an entire case themselves.
Having initially focused solely on legal cases, Blue J also now applies its predictive AI software to tax law – a tool which has become popular amongst tax attorneys and accountants, not just for its speed but for its junior-training applications.
While there’s been huge growth in the use of AI in the legal industry, its outcomes have not been without flaw. Blue J claims 90% accuracy for its predictive software, however there have been some cases documented across the whole industry where AI was biased against minority demographics for example.
The key thing for Blue J Legal moving forward is the accuracy of its software. If the company can maintain the very highest standards and maintain its AI’s integrity, it could become not just financially successful, but socially impactful.
