Product Lead

As a Product Lead at Everlaw, your core responsibilities include driving feature development from start to finish, collaborating with design and development teams, conducting user research, and crafting user documentation to ensure successful product adoption. You'll be responsible for scoping product priorities and managing internal stakeholder engagement, making it essential to own key product outcomes within a complex environment.

Candidates for the Product Lead position at Everlaw should possess 1-5 years of experience in product development, demonstrating expertise in managing impactful projects. Strong written and verbal communication skills, critical thinking abilities, and the capacity to work autonomously and collaboratively are vital. Experience in litigation, engineering, UX, or data analysis is a plus but not mandatory.

Everlaw is deeply committed to professional growth, offering annual learning and development stipends as well as regular career check-ins. As a Product Lead, you will have the opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues and participate in team processes designed to elevate your skills, ensuring you continuously grow in your role.

The company culture at Everlaw is open, vibrant, and highly supportive of innovation and learning. We value collaboration, passion, and integrity, providing a work environment where Product Leads can thrive. You will be encouraged to take initiative and bring your ideas to life while contributing meaningfully to our team and mission.

The Product Lead role at Everlaw offers a hybrid work schedule, where you will work in the office Monday through Thursday and have the option to work remotely on Tuesdays and Fridays. This arrangement provides flexibility while allowing you to maintain close connections with your teammates in the office.

When approaching user research as a Product Lead, start by defining clear goals that guide your research. Utilize interviews, surveys, and usability tests to gather qualitative and quantitative insights. Make sure to involve stakeholders early in the process and translate user needs into actionable product features.

To prioritize product features effectively, I employ a combination of user feedback, business impact assessment, and alignment with company objectives. I often use frameworks like the MoSCoW method to categorize features into must-haves, should-haves, could-haves, and won’t-haves, assisting in making informed decisions about the product roadmap.

For feature testing, I focus on rigorous A/B testing and usability testing methodologies. I outline clear metrics for success and gather user feedback to evaluate performance. Collaborating with QA teams ensures that we maintain a high-quality standard before a feature is fully released.

A constructive approach involves open communication to understand differing perspectives. I actively listen and ensure everyone’s concerns are validated before presenting data-driven insights to guide decisions. Striving for transparency and collaboration often helps me to reach a consensus.

To communicate product updates effectively, I prefer using structured updates during team meetings paired with email summaries. Creating concise visual presentations can also reinforce key points, ensuring that everyone is aligned and aware of progress and changes.

In a previous product role, I faced a tight deadline while coordinating multiple stakeholders. I organized a series of brief collaborative sprints where we collectively reviewed priorities and clarified objectives. This transparency helped us streamline the workflow and successfully meet the deadline.

I maintain my industry knowledge by subscribing to relevant blogs, attending webinars, and participating in product management communities. Networking with other professionals and engaging in discussions allows me to stay informed of emerging trends and best practices in product management.

Success in this role would be defined by the successful launch of user-centered features that meet business goals, high user satisfaction ratings, and overall team engagement. I believe that fostering a culture of continuous improvement and collaboration contributes significantly to achieving these outcomes.

Creating user-facing documentation involves understanding the user’s journey, translating complex features into relatable content, and using clear, straightforward language. I believe that collaborating with design and technical writing teams ensures that we create helpful documentation that supports users effectively.

I am inspired by Everlaw's mission to promote justice and the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology in product development. I admire the company culture that values growth, integrity, and innovation, and I am excited about the possibility of contributing to impactful projects that resonate with users in the legal field.
