About the Role

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.

Responsibilities

  • 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.

Requirements

  • A former lawyer, legal professional, or product manager experienced with legal workflows.
  • A J.D. and 5+ years practicing U.S. law, ideally in complex commercial litigation is strongly preferred.
  • 10+ years across some combination of law, strategy, consulting, legal technology, product, or operations.
  • Proven operator with experience running complex, cross-functional initiatives from idea through execution.
  • Comfortable holding strategy conversations with executives and working through operational detail.
  • Clear communicator, able to adjust register for legal, product, and technical audiences without losing precision.
  • Sound judgment, at ease in commercially and legally sensitive situations, and understanding of discretion.
  • High ownership, moves quickly, takes outcomes personally, and is not stalled by ambiguity.
  • Experience at product-focused, technology-driven companies.
  • Hands-on work with AI/ML-powered products, ideally in legal or another regulated, high-stakes domain.
  • Depth in legal data — legal research materials, docket filings, primary and secondary source materials, citation, or legal research systems.
  • An active U.S. bar license (preferred, not required).
  • 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-1B, TN, or EAD, and we are not accepting visa transfers.
