About General Legal

The law firm for companies that need senior counsel without a traditional firm. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

We are hiring our first product manager to work closely with our CPO, CTO, product operations manager, and engineering team. You will own improvements to how our firm delivers legal services: understand how our attorneys work, learn how our clients experience that work, and turn those insights into software improvements that ship.

What they're looking for

  • At least 3 years of product management experience building software with an engineering team. You can point to products or features you personally took from problem discovery to launch and explain the results
  • Excellent product judgment. You can distinguish a recurring user problem from a one-off request, identify the smallest useful solution, and make hard prioritization calls
  • A high bar for execution and quality. You take ownership, move quickly, notice details, and close the loop without needing someone else to chase the work
  • Strong user research skills and empathy for people doing complicated work. You ask good questions, observe actual behavior, and turn what you learn into concrete decisions
  • Clear writing and communication. Your specs are concise, your decisions are understandable, and you can work effectively with engineers, lawyers, and founders
  • Technical fluency. You can discuss APIs, integrations, data flows, and AI product limitations with engineers. You do not need to be a software engineer
