Senior Product Manager

LawVu is the AI-native operating system for in-house legal - the foundational layer that powers the entire legal function. Our intelligent platform connects legal intake, matters, contracts, spend, and reporting in one connected workspace, enabling legal teams to work smarter, move faster, and deliver measurable business value.

Trusted by leading organizations including Discord, Employment Hero, Etsy, and many more, LawVu is helping legal teams transform from reactive service providers into strategic business partners.

Founded in New Zealand, LawVu is a fast-growing global software company with customers and employees across North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Backed by leading venture capital firms, including Insight Partners and Airtree Ventures, we're creating a new category of LegalOS software purpose-built for modern in-house legal teams.

As a Senior Product Manager at LawVu, you'll shape the future of LawVu Draft and Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), reimagining how legal teams create, review, negotiate and manage contracts. You'll lead the evolution of Draft, which joined LawVu through acquisition, alongside CLM, exploring how AI and connected legal context can transform legal work within the wider LegalOS.

You'll own product strategy, discovery, prioritisation and outcomes across these complementary product areas. Within your Product Trio, Product leads customer value and business viability. Working closely with Design, Legal Engineering and Engineering, you'll turn deep customer understanding and commercial judgement into meaningful customer value.

What you’ll do 

Shape product strategy and direction

• Build a deep understanding of customers, their workflows, the LawVu product, and the competitive landscape to identify opportunities for differentiation and growth.

• Define and evolve an outcome-focused product strategy and roadmap across Draft and CLM, balancing near-term customer needs with LawVu's longer-term LegalOS vision.

• Identify opportunities to connect Draft and CLM with the wider LegalOS, creating greater value from an integrated platform rather than isolated product capabilities.

Reimagine legal work with AI

• Partner with Design, Legal Engineering and Engineering to rapidly experiment with emerging capabilities, validate customer value and responsibly bring AI-powered experiences to market.

• Stay curious about advances in AI and Legal Tech, continuously challenging what's possible and how LawVu can differentiate.

Own product outcomes and enable execution

• Set clear priorities and success measures, ensuring teams understand the problems they're solving, why they matter and what success looks like.

• Partner with Engineering and Design throughout delivery and iteration, making timely product decisions and trade-offs while enabling Engineering to own technical execution and delivery predictability.

• Own product performance across the full lifecycle, using customer feedback, product analytics and commercial measures to drive continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with Product Marketing, Sales and Customer teams to support successful launches, adoption and ongoing customer value.
