Senior Product Manager, Application Product
Chicago Hybrid | B2B SaaS | Legal Tech / Document Workflows
Hybrid in Chicago.
We are supporting a growing Chicago-based B2B SaaS business that is building the next generation of its platform following recent private investment.
The role is focused on complex application workflows in a document-heavy environment. Users need to collect, organise, review, search, analyse, and act on large volumes of information, often in high-stakes legal and litigation workflows where accuracy, usability, reliability, and trust matter.
This is a senior individual contributor role. The team is looking for someone who can shape product strategy, not just execute a roadmap. The right person will be able to identify customer and business problems, influence stakeholders, break strategy into a clear roadmap, and connect product decisions to measurable outcomes.
What You’ll Own
- Product strategy and roadmap for complex application workflow areas
- Customer discovery and problem definition across document-heavy workflows
- Prioritisation across customer needs, business goals, technical constraints, and delivery trade-offs
- Close partnership with engineering, design, customer-facing teams, and product leadership
- Workflow improvements around search, review, metadata, permissions, collaboration, automation, and AI-enabled capabilities
- Product outcomes tied to adoption, efficiency, customer satisfaction, revenue, retention, or operational improvement
Relevant Backgrounds
Strong candidates may come from:
- eDiscovery or litigation platforms
- legal technology or legal workflow software
- document management or content management
- knowledge management or collaboration platforms
- legal research, drafting, or AI products
- contract lifecycle management or legal operations
- compliance, investigations, forensics, or regulated document review
- enterprise search, metadata, permissions, or document intelligence platforms
What They’re Looking For
- Senior product management experience in B2B SaaS or complex workflow software
- Strong product strategy and roadmap ownership
- Evidence of identifying problems proactively, not just taking requirements
- Ability to influence senior stakeholders and align cross-functional teams
- Experience connecting product decisions to customer and business outcomes
- Comfort working with engineering and design on complex workflow problems
- Experience in document-heavy, data-heavy, regulated, legal, compliance, or enterprise environments
- AI, search, metadata, document intelligence, workflow automation, or legal tech experience would be a strong plus
