About the Role

Assembly Software is hiring a Chief Product Officer (CPO) to lead product strategy, roadmap, and execution across the platform, reporting directly to the CEO. This is a highly hands-on, commercially oriented product leadership role. The CPO will partner closely with the CEO and EVP of Engineering, IT, and Infosec, serving as a peer to engineering while bringing strong customer, market, and commercial perspective to the organization.

The role sits at the center of Assembly’s next chapter: shaping how the company uses proprietary data, workflow intelligence, and applied AI to define the future of legal technology. This leader will bring focus, conviction, and clarity to a rapidly evolving product portfolio while helping the organization scale its next generation of AI-enabled products and modern product development practices. The role is well-suited to a product executive who wants to operate in a lean, high-impact environment.

The product organization today includes product management, design, product operations, product marketing, and customer enablement resources. This leader must be comfortable operating both strategically and tactically—setting vision, managing prioritization, engaging deeply with customers, and staying close to roadmap execution.

Responsibilities

Product Strategy and Roadmap

• Establish the product vision and strategy for Assembly’s platform, leveraging its unique data assets and deep legal workflow expertise.
• Define what customers should do, when, and why in order to create a more intelligent, outcome-driven product experience.
• Build and own a roadmap tied directly to customer value, ROI, and business outcomes.
• Help shape how AI is embedded both within the customer experience and internally across product development and delivery workflows.
• Translate long-term strategy into a practical, executable roadmap while preserving delivery momentum.

Commercialization and Customer Engagement

• Partner closely with Sales and Customer Success to define and articulate value, support ROI-driven selling, and drive customer expansion.
• Lead product positioning, launch readiness, and value proposition development in close partnership with go-to-market leadership.
• Strengthen alignment between product and commercial functions so that roadmap priorities, customer feedback, and market messaging reinforce one another.

Execution and Operating Cadence

• Establish strong product operating rhythms, prioritization discipline, and accountability against clearly defined business and product outcomes.
• Develop and manage product objectives and KPIs tied to adoption, customer impact, platform modernization, and commercial performance.
• Partner closely with the EVP of Engineering, IT, and Infosec and engineering team to support predictable delivery and ongoing platform evolution.
• Continue evolving Assembly’s modern AI-enabled product development practices, including rapid prototyping, customer feedback loops, accelerated iteration cycles, and AI-assisted development workflows.
• Balance modernization, new product development, and customer-driven needs in a resource-conscious environment.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Serve as a key partner to the CEO, EVP of Engineering, IT, and Infosec, and commercial leadership team.
• Bring structure and prioritization rigor across competing initiatives and stakeholder priorities.
• Ensure product is a central voice in company strategy and that customer insights are translated into business decisions.

Team Leadership and Product Maturity

• Lead and develop a lean, high-impact product organization that currently includes a small team across product, design, product operations, and product marketing support.
• Elevate product management practices, including discovery, prioritization, and execution discipline.
• Build a high-performance culture suited to a PE-backed, growth-stage environment.
