About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own product outcomes for a portfolio of Patlytics' highest-impact enterprise accounts, including AmLaw firms and corporate IP teams, driving adoption from contract through full production
Build trusted advisory relationships with senior patent attorneys, IP partners, and general counsel, becoming the person they turn to for what's possible with AI
Stay at the forefront of AI, keeping up with the latest in LLMs, retrieval, reasoning, and agent architectures, and figure out how to apply these advances to patent search, claim analysis, portfolio management, prosecution, and litigation workflows
Translate customer reality into product direction by curating, synthesizing, and prioritizing feedback with specificity and judgment. Not relaying feature requests, but articulating tradeoffs so product and engineering can make better decisions
Drive deployments through the change management, enablement, and adoption challenges that determine whether AI actually transforms how a team works
Create training materials, onboarding content, and use-case playbooks, both internal and external-facing, so that what works in one account can scale across many

Requirements

What you’ll need

6+ years in product management or a customer-facing product role, ideally in environments where you were embedded with customers, not insulated from them
A track record of deploying new workflows that changed how customers operate. Not just shipping features, but walking into an organization, understanding how they work, and introducing new ways of doing things that stuck. Bonus if this was in legal tech, professional services, or regulated industries
The ability to build trust with senior, demanding stakeholders. Comfortable in the room with a managing partner at a top law firm or a VP of IP at a Fortune 500, managing conflict without eroding the relationship, and following through on every commitment
Real technical fluency. You don't need to write code, but you can hold a genuine conversation about LLM capabilities and limitations, retrieval pipelines, and system architecture. You understand how AI products work in production, not just in demos
Precise communication that adjusts for audience, whether partner, engineer, or executive, at the right level of detail
Extreme ownership. You close loops without reminders, drive outcomes across teams without formal authority, and when something is stuck, you unstick it
