Responsibilities
- Defining and driving the product strategy and roadmap for part of iManage’s core platform capabilities — including APIs, platform services, observability tooling, developer experience, and AI-enabling infrastructure.
- Serving as the voice of our customers, internal developers, and technology partners by deeply understanding their workflows, integration pain points, and goals to design frictionless platform experiences that make iManage a joy to use.
- Partnering with engineering, cloud operations, SRE, and architecture teams to deliver highly available, fault-tolerant, and globally scalable platform features and capabilities.
- Identifying opportunities to rationalize duplicate capabilities across product lines into reusable, composable platform services to increase leverage, reduce engineering redundancy, and accelerate delivery across the portfolio.
- Synthesizing input from customers, partners, sales, support, cloud operations, and engineering to shape near- and long-term platform roadmap priorities while ensuring the right trade-offs are made at the right time.
- Articulating platform strategy, roadmap, and capabilities to internal stakeholders, executive leadership, and external audiences — from engineering standups to customer briefings and industry events.
- Collaborating with product marketing and go-to-market teams to develop compelling platform messaging, competitive differentiation, and thought-leadership content.
- Monitoring market trends, competitive dynamics, and emerging technologies to ensure iManage’s platform capabilities remain best in class.
Requirements
- 6+ years of product management experience, including at least 2 years focused on platform, infrastructure, API, or developer-facing products.
- Experience applying AI meaningfully to product work, including shipping or collaborating closely on AI-powered capabilities and understanding how AI integration affects platform architecture, data requirements, and product strategy.
- Technical fluency that enables confident participation in API design reviews, cloud architecture discussions, and infrastructure trade-off conversations without the need to write production code.
- Experience working with public cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP) in a SaaS or hybrid deployment environment.
- Strong systems-thinking skills with the ability to understand how platform decisions create ripple effects across products, teams, customers, and partners — and to reason clearly about second-order consequences.
- A proven track record of working cross-functionally across engineering, design, data, security, and go-to-market teams to align diverse stakeholders around a coherent platform vision.
- Experience defining and tracking platform-specific success metrics, including SLOs, API adoption rates, integration velocity, reusability, and downstream shipping velocity.
- Exceptional communication and storytelling skills, demonstrated through the ability to translate complex technical concepts for executive audiences and provide clear business context in engineering conversations.
- The ability to navigate ambiguity and thrive in environments where requirements evolve, priorities shift, and the right answer is not always obvious.
Qualifications
- A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience at a developer-platform, API-first, or infrastructure-focused company.
- A hands-on engineering or software-development background that provides genuine empathy for the customers and developers supported by the platform.
- Familiarity with legal technology, professional-services software, or compliance-driven industries.
- Exposure to AI/ML infrastructure, LLM integration, RAG architectures, vector databases, or agentic-workflow platforms.
- Experience with Azure IaaS or the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
- Working knowledge of Python, .NET, Java, JIRA, Confluence, or agile development methodologies.
