Staff Product Manager, Legal Operations Platform

WHY HARVEY
At Meridian Softworks, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.
This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. With 1500+ customers in 60+ countries, strong product-market fit, and world-class investor support, we’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.
Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.
At Meridian Softworks, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.
ROLE OVERVIEW
Meridian Softworks is building the platform that defines how legal and professional services teams work with AI. As our product matures and adoption scales, our ecosystem — integrations, APIs, data partnerships, and third-party extensibility — is becoming a core growth lever and strategic differentiator.
We’re looking for a senior product leader who will own and drive the 0 to 1 strategy for Meridian Softworks’s legal operations platform – the feature set that is quickly becoming the premier admin experience for in-house legal teams, giving General Counsel and legal operations leaders visibility and control over how their department engages, governs, and evaluates the outside firms and vendors it relies on. This person joins the Product team, whose mission is to transform how legal professionals interact with AI to deliver faster, higher-quality outcomes at scale. The role directly enables Meridian Softworks’s enterprise expansion by giving large legal departments the operational tooling they need to adopt Meridian Softworks with confidence – a critical unlock for procurement-led and compliance-driven buyers. It sits on one of Meridian Softworks’s highest-impact roadmaps, with a level of ambition that has generated real excitement across the legal industry, from in-house teams to the outside firms they work with. They will partner with engineering, design, go-to-market, and customer success to define the roadmap and shipping cadence for one of Meridian Softworks’s fastest-growing product surfaces. It is a rare opportunity to define from first principles how AI-native software reshapes a decades-old legal operations workflow.
This is a highly strategic role at the intersection of platform, product, and partnerships. You’ll work closely with engineering, design, partnerships, and GTM teams to build capabilities that are not just functional, but transformative – making Meridian Softworks the system of intelligence for professional work.

– Drive end-to-end execution of features from discovery through launch, working closely with engineering to ship on a fast cadence while maintaining a high quality bar.
– Partner with enterprise customers and customer success to deeply understand how legal departments manage their relationships with outside firms and vendors today, translating those insights into product requirements that unlock adoption at scale.
– Collaborate cross-functionally with go-to-market, partnerships, and legal engineering to ensure these features are positioned and enabled effectively for sales and deployment.
– Establish success metrics and feedback loops that quantify the value the platform delivers to customers, using data to continuously prioritize and iterate.
WHAT YOU HAVE
– 7+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years at a Staff or Senior PM level at a high-growth technology company.
– Proven track record of owning and scaling complex platform or infrastructure products, ideally in enterprise SaaS, document management, knowledge management, or data-intensive domains.
– Strong technical acumen with the ability to engage deeply with engineering on system design, distributed systems, data pipelines, and retrieval architectures.
– Experience building products that handle sensitive data with robust security, compliance, and access control requirements.
– Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence stakeholders at various levels, from engineers to executives.
– Demonstrated ability to thri
