Product Manager - FDE

Product Manager – Forward Deployed Engineering

We are seeking a Product Manager to lead product execution and support the CoCounsel Legal Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) team, focusing on disciplined execution, customer engagement, and end‑to‑end AI product lifecycle management across deployments. The role is customer‑facing and requires familiarity with the legal industry and how legal teams operate in practice.

• Customer Engagement & Use‑Case discovery:
  Partner directly with legal stakeholders to understand workflows, pain points, and operational constraints. Oversee execution & delivery and support engagements with customers alongside Forward Deployed Engineers. Translate customer input into clear product requirements and acceptance criteria.
• Backlog & Execution Management:
  Own & maintain backlogs across FDE engagements, ensuring strong hygiene, prioritization, and transparency. Ensure work is clearly scoped, sequenced, and tracked across discovery, build, validation and hand‑off. Support dependency management and execution planning with engineering partners.
• End‑End Product Lifecycle Ownership:
  Manage product work from initial intake through development, launch and transition to core product teams. Ensure decisions, context, and learnings from deployments are well documented and reusable. Support release readiness and communication with internal stakeholders.
• Productizing Bespoke Work:
  Identify opportunities to convert customer‑specific solutions into repeatable product capabilities. Work with Senior Product Managers and core product teams to define when work should remain custom‑specific versus when it should be generalized.

• 4–6 years of product management experience, ideally in enterprise SaaS or integration / implementation‑heavy environments.
• Customer‑facing interest or experience with legal teams, legal operations, or related enterprise workflows.
• Strong organizational skills and comfort managing complex backlogs across multiple engagements.
• Ability to translate ambiguous customer needs into clear product requirements.
• Exposure to AI‑enabled products, APIs, or workflow platforms is a plus.

• Hybrid Work Model:
  Flexible hybrid working environment (2‑3 days a week in the office depending on the role).
• Flexibility & Work‑Life Balance:
  Supportive workplace policies designed to help manage personal and professional responsibilities.
• Career Development and Growth:
  Continuous learning and skill development programs.
• Benefits:
  Flexible vacation, mental health support, retirement savings, tuition reimbursement, and employee incentive programs.
