As Senior Director, Product Management – Transactional Use Cases, you will own the discovery and definition of what CoCounsel needs to become for deal lawyers. You will work closely with transactional attorneys, translate customer needs into a prioritized roadmap, and lead a team of product managers to turn that roadmap into shipped product. The role reports to the Co-Head of Product for CoCounsel Legal.
