The posting

Role Purpose

The Lead Product Manager is responsible for customer‑ and market‑driven product leadership for one or more legal practice areas within the Legal Markets Group portfolio.

This role serves as a deep subject‑matter expert and market interpreter, translating customer needs, legal developments, and competitive dynamics into clear product and go‑to‑market direction. The Lead Product Manager partners closely with Editorial, with the Lead Product Manager responsible for the content roadmap, and with the other Product Managers to ensure that customer insight, content strategy, and commercial execution are tightly aligned.

While primarily practice‑area focused, the role may also contribute selectively to enterprise‑wide initiatives where deep legal or market expertise is required.

  • Act as the primary source of customer and market insight for assigned legal practice area(s).
  • Engage directly and regularly with:Customers and prospects Sales and account management teams External practitioners, advisors, and industry bodies

  • Translate legal complexity into clear product requirements and customer‑oriented value narratives.

Go‑to‑Market Leadership (Practice‑Area Level)

  • Lead practice‑area‑specific GTM execution, including:Use cases and workflow definition Value proposition and positioning inputs Product and feature readiness for launch
  • Partner with Product Marketing and Marketing teams to:Review and validate marketing copy for legal accuracy and credibility Ensure campaigns reflect real customer needs and legal workflows
  • Support Sales through:Deal support on complex opportunities Participation in customer briefings, webinars, and industry events Competitive positioning guidance at the practice‑area level

  • Work in close coordination with the Lead Product Manager responsible for the content roadmap to:Feed customer and market insight into roadmap prioritization Align practice‑area needs with portfolio‑level decisions Support coherent execution across content, technology, and GTM

The Lead Product Manager does not own the content roadmap, but is accountable for ensuring it is customer‑ and market‑driven.

Commercial Performance & Optimization

  • Monitor practice‑area performance indicators such as:Adoption and usage Retention and customer feedback Revenue and pipeline signals (in partnership with Sales and Finance)
  • Identify opportunities to:Improve positioning, packaging, and messaging Enable cross‑sell and upsell opportunities Address underperforming offerings

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
