7d • Remote

About The Position

Consilio is undergoing a significant transformation, shifting from a services-led business model to one driven by software and products. The Director of Product Management is a pivotal senior leadership role in this transition, responsible for the strategic direction, roadmap development, and commercial success of a key product area. This role also involves nurturing and advancing the product management expertise within the team. It is a hands-on leadership position where the individual will be accountable for end-to-end outcomes, including defining the direction for the ECI Product, making critical trade-offs, and championing the results with customers, engineering teams, and executive leadership. The ideal candidate is a proactive doer who will actively engage in research, requirement definition, and driving execution through ongoing collaboration.

Requirements

• 8+ years in product management.
• Track record of owning a B2B or enterprise SaaS product line with accountability for real success, beyond just feature delivery.
• Demonstrated ability to build strategy based on evidence, including market data, customer research, and unit economics, not solely intuition.
• Strong written communication skills, capable of making complex trade-offs clear to an executive audience in a concise format.
• Comfort operating in ambiguous environments and contributing to building the operating model rather than inheriting a pre-established one.
• Experience in close partnership with engineering on complex platform or data-heavy products.

Nice To Haves

• Legal technology, eDiscovery, compliance, information governance, or regulated-industry software experience.
• Experience taking AI or ML capabilities from demonstration to a dependable, sellable product, including the associated evaluation, trust, and change management efforts.
• Experience in a company transitioning from services to product, or in a Private Equity-backed growth environment.
• Familiarity with enterprise data platforms, security and privacy requirements, and the realities of large-scale client data.

Responsibilities

• Product strategy and roadmap for your area, including a clear 12-24 month vision supported by market evidence, customer research, and business economics.
• Product execution in close partnership with engineering, design, and delivery teams, setting the standard for how work is performed and what is shipped.
• Sales readiness, including sales and market enablement in collaboration with customer success and sales organizations.
• Cross-functional partnership with sales, marketing, operations, and delivery, including the pre-sales and enablement activities necessary for selling software instead of staffed services.
• Build and defend a product strategy grounded in the legal technology and eDiscovery market, considering buyer economics, competitive positioning, and the impact of AI on workflows.
• Conduct continuous discovery with corporate legal departments, law firms, and internal review and operations teams, translating insights into problems worth solving.
• Size and sequence opportunities, with the ability to clearly decline requests and articulate the reasoning.
• Own the roadmap and release plan for the product area, partnering with engineering leadership on scope, sequencing, and technical trade-offs.
• Establish outcome-based success measures before initiating work and report on them transparently.
• Implement a structured intake process for customer requests, sales escalations, and internal ideas, ensuring transparent prioritization.
• Partner with product marketing on positioning and launch readiness.
• Equip sales and client services teams with the necessary tools for product sales and support, including value narratives, demos, competitive framing, and qualification guidance.
• Support strategic deals and executive customer conversations without allowing the roadmap to become a collection of one-off commitments.
• Hire, coach, and develop product managers, elevating the team's skills in writing, discovery, analysis, and stakeholder management.
• Operate the decision rights for the product area, clearly defining responsibilities for decisions, recommendations, and escalations.
• Represent the product area to the executive team and, when appropriate, to customers and the market.

Benefits

• Consilio’s True North Values: Client Experience, Collaboration, Innovation, Grit.
