<h1><strong>Your Impact</strong></h1> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <h1><strong>What You'll Do</strong></h1> <ul> <li><strong>Own DISCO’s legal data strategy.</strong> Define our approach to legal information coverage, quality, and reliability across DISCO’s AI-powered products, and carry it from definition through execution.</li> <li><strong>Turn litigation workflows into product priorities.</strong> Assess what practitioners actually need from source materials across key litigation workflows, and translate that into clear, actionable priorities the team can build against.</li> <li><strong>Partner across the company.</strong> Work with Engineering, AI, Design, and Commercial Strategy teams to design and ship initiatives that help practicing lawyers in meaningful ways.</li> <li><strong>Build processes that scale.</strong> Establish repeatable ways to evaluate, organize, and maintain legal information, and keep improving coverage, quality, and usability as we grow.</li> <li><strong>Decide with evidence.</strong> Bring data to prioritization calls, and find the operational improvements in how legal information gets managed.</li> <li><strong>Keep leadership close to the truth.</strong> Communicate progress, tradeoffs, risks, and dependencies clearly to senior stakeholders — including when the news is inconvenient.</li> </ul> <h1><strong>Who You Are</strong></h1> <ul> <li><strong>A former lawyer, legal professional, or product manager experienced with legal workflows. </strong>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.</li> <li><strong>Experienced across law and business.</strong> 10+ years across some combination of law, strategy, consulting, legal technology, product, or operations.</li> <li><strong>A proven operator.</strong> You have run complex, cross-functional initiatives from idea through execution, and you measure yourself on outcomes rather than activity.</li> <li><strong>Comfortable at both altitudes.</strong> You can hold a strategy conversation with executives, then work through the operational detail that makes the strategy real.</li> <li><strong>A clear communicator.</strong> You make yourself understood by legal, product, and technical audiences, and you adjust register without losing precision.</li> <li><strong>Sound in judgment.</strong> You are at ease in commercially and legally sensitive situations, and you know what discretion requires.</li> <li><strong>High ownership.</strong> You move quickly, you take the outcome personally, and ambiguity does not stall you.</li> </ul> <h1><strong>Even Better If You Have</strong></h1> <ul> <li>Experience at product-focused, technology-driven companies.</li> <li>Hands-on work with AI/ML-powered products, ideally in legal or another regulated, high-stakes domain.</li> <li>Depth in legal data — legal research materials, docket filings, primary and secondary source materials, citation, or legal research systems.</li> <li>An active U.S. bar license (preferred, not required).</li> </ul> <h1><strong>Core DISCO Product Competencies</strong></h1> <ul> <li><strong>Customer Focus & Insight:</strong> Deeply understand user needs and pain points through research to guide product decisions.</li> <li><strong>Strategic Clarity:</strong> Create and communicate clear direction aligned with business goals and measurable outcomes.</li> <li><strong>Delivery of Top Priorities:</strong> Drive high-quality and timely delivery of the most important new products and experiences.</li> <li><strong>Own the Outcome:</strong> Take full responsibility for achieving results and measurable impact from definition through iteration.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong><strong data-stringify-type="bold">Authorization to Work in the U.S.:</strong> </strong>Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future. DISCO is not currently sponsoring visas, including, but not limited to, H
