Staff Product Manager, Legal Data

Your ImpactDISCO is building AI that litigators can rely on during live matters. That reliability comes down to the legal information underneath it — whether the case law, dockets, and source materials are complete, accurate, and current, and whether a lawyer can trust what the system tells them about the record.You will own that. As a lawyer technologist on our unified litigation platform product team, you will set DISCO’s legal data strategy and carry it through: what we cover, how we judge quality, and how we keep both improving as the product moves from pilot to general availability. You will work directly with litigators at design-partner firms, translate what you hear into product priorities, and partner with engineering and AI teams to build it.This role exists because the judgment it requires is legal judgment. Whether a cited case actually stands for the proposition. Whether a holding has been characterized correctly. Whether a source is authoritative for the question being asked. That comes from practice, which is why we are hiring a lawyer or product manager with deep legal experience rather than a generalist product manager.What You'll DoOwn DISCO’s legal data strategy. Define our approach to legal information coverage, quality, and reliability across DISCO’s AI-powered products, and carry it from definition through execution.Turn litigation workflows into product priorities.
