Senior Product Manager
About The Position
At Steno, we’re growing fast and transforming the litigation technology industry with best-in-class court reporting, modern solutions that add value for lawyers, and an exceptional client experience. We partner with law firms to simplify complex workflows, deliver reliable outcomes and case insights, and to revolutionize a traditionally outdated space while we expand across the country. Steno has experienced rapid growth and market adoption since its release in early 2019, and we're now ready to bring on additional product talent to help us build intelligent systems that meet our customers' evolving needs. An amazing, AI-powered product begins with amazing people who are ready to upend a traditional industry. In this role, you'll own a core product area at Steno, leading the vision, roadmap, and execution, and working closely with engineering, design, and business teams to deliver measurable results. We're looking for a technically adept product leader who's excited to dive into a new space and make it their own. In this role, you'll define and execute the vision for the users and workflows in your area, driving innovation and usability at scale. You'll also lead a cross-functional dev squad, ensuring alignment across engineering, design, and business teams to deliver high-impact solutions that improve user workflows and efficiency. At Steno, we build products by deeply understanding our users' pain points first. That's core to our DNA and has driven our success. We don't add features just to check a box for sales. We follow our principles: thorough user research, precise problem definition, and thoughtful solution design. As a Product Manager at Steno, you'll identify opportunities to meaningfully improve how our users work, while holding a high bar for solving real problems that deliver concrete value. The ideal candidate is a self-starter and strategic, autonomous problem-solver who brings clarity to ambiguity – transforming undefined challenges into cohesive, scalable product experiences, even in a space that's new to them. You have a strong technical foundation, enabling you to collaborate effectively with engineers while also advocating for user needs and business outcomes. You excel at navigating complex, multi-stakeholder environments, aligning teams around a shared vision, and making informed, data-driven decisions. You're naturally curious and eager to learn — you don't need deep domain expertise on day one, but you pick things up fast. Exceptional communication skills are a must, along with a hospitality mindset that enables you to lead with empathy, operate under pressure, and create seamless, intuitive experiences for our users.
