Ensure Law School strategy informs product planning decisions where market needs, user behavior, and competitive dynamics should shape roadmap direction. Partner with Marketing and Sales teams to align positioning, messaging, launch timing, segmentation, and adoption strategies to product priorities. Manage Law School–specific tools and platforms (e.g., Lexis Learn, CAT, portals, ICW), helping ensure they evolve in ways that support product adoption and strategic GTM objectives. Go-to-Market Strategy & Execution Develop go-to-market plans for new features, enhancements, and strategic initiatives, with a focus on measurable increases in usage and preference. Ensure active user and preference strategies are embedded into broader Go-to-Market plans, creating Law School‑specific GTM approaches where needed.
