• A unified Product Playbook - the definitive, living standard for how Litera’s product teams roadmap, discover, plan, and launch - continuously refined and embedded into tools and onboarding so quality scales with the organization.
• A high-performing operating cadence that creates a disciplined, recurring rhythm of planning, execution, and review, giving leadership clear visibility and the product organization a shared tempo.
• Strategic roadmap alignment that connects product investment to business priorities, ensuring sequencing is clear, decisions are traceable, and the organization moves with intent.
• Data-driven insights and reporting that give senior leaders the visibility they need to make confident decisions on resource allocation, delivery health, and portfolio performance.
• An enabled, high-velocity product organization - through coaching, governance, and tooling - where best practices are the default, accountability is built in, and teams consistently raise their bar.
• Evaluated and adopted AI-enabled capabilities that meaningfully improve collaboration, forecasting, and execution across the product function.
• Executive-ready narratives and communications that translate complex operational detail into clear decisions and actions for senior leadership, board members, and key stakeholders.

• 10+ years in Product Operations, Product Management, or Program Management within technology or SaaS organizations, including 3+ years leading teams or programs at scale.
• Proven experience building and scaling product operating models, playbooks, and planning cadences across complex, multi-product portfolios.
• Track record of leading cross-functional programs and influencing senior stakeholders across product, engineering, UX, customer success, and go-to-market.
• Strong analytical and systems-thinking skills - able to synthesize data, design frameworks, and drive measurable operational improvement.
• Exceptional executive communication and presentation skills - able to craft compelling narratives and translate operational complexity into clear decisions and actions.
• Advanced proficiency with product lifecycle and analytics tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Pendo.

• Experience in legal technology, compliance, or other regulated industries.
• Background in product management, agile coaching, or UX operations.
• Experience leading change management and scaling organizations through high-growth phases.
• Certification in Agile, Scrum, or program/project management.

• A team that shows up. Work alongside people who collaborate, support one another, and lead with integrity.
• Global Reach. Partner with teams around the world to solve complex challenges that matter.
• Real opportunity for growth. Expand your impact through meaningful stretch opportunities, visibility and career development.
