Product Lead

Everlaw is looking for a motivated Product Lead/Product Manager to join our growing Product team! In this role, you will drive the development of our core product. We are looking for candidates with experience working in product management that can apply that experience to owning features from the beginning to the end of their lifecycle. 

In this role, you will become an expert on our product, define problems, and devise solutions that meet our users’ core needs. You will work collaboratively with our design and development teams, developing critical thinking and product leadership skills in the process. You will become adept at rigorous feature testing to ensure feature quality and work closely with our technical writing team to generate user-facing documentation that supports successful adoption of the product. 

Finally, you will support the development of our core product roadmap by scoping priorities, conducting user research, documenting requirements, engaging internal stakeholders (e.g. other departments or the executive team), and driving forward feature progress in the face of product and organizational complexity. This role requires you to function autonomously by taking ownership of key product outcomes and driving progress forward.

At Everlaw, our mission is to promote justice by illuminating truth. Our company culture is open and vibrant, and we’re committed to the professional growth of our team members, offering an annual learning and development stipend and regular check-ins with managers regarding career goals. If you’re looking for a place that values passion, integrity, thinking big, and a desire to learn, we’d love to hear from you! Think you’re missing some of the skills and are hesitant to apply? We do not believe in the “perfect” candidate and encourage you to apply if you feel you can bring value to our team.

This is a full-time position based in our Oakland, California office with a hybrid work schedule: in office M/W/Th with the option to work from home Tu/Fr.
