Senior Product Manager

PURPOSE

At PERSUIT, we’re transforming how in-house legal teams and law firms work together. As a Senior Product Manager, you will take full ownership of delivering product capabilities from discovery through launch, ensuring they solve meaningful customer problems, drive measurable outcomes, and strengthen our competitive edge.

You’ll work at the intersection of product, design, and engineering, facilitating trade-off discussions, making informed decisions, and ensuring delivery stays aligned to our strategy. This role is ideal for a SaaS-focused product manager who thrives in a fast-moving, collaborative environment and takes accountability for results, not just releases.

This role manages the Strategic Sourcing domain, which covers the journey our clients and firms take through matter intake, legal sourcing, and engagement. The domain includes some of the most established parts of the platform as well as the creation of new functionality.

Responsibilities

PRODUCT DISCOVERY & STRATEGY

- Lead discovery to identify and validate customer problems through research, interviews, and data analysis.
- Maintain a roadmap that links near-term delivery to long-term strategic goals. Own and update an opportunity backlog with validated customer problems and hypotheses.
