Role Overview:

We’re seeking a Senior Product Manager who will drive forward Smokeball’s AI product roadmap, bringing to life ambitious initiatives that redefine the boundaries of legal technology.

This is about transforming the vision into action; managing the journey, elevating the product through insight and execution, and ensuring that each release is meaningful, valuable, and loved by users. You’ll also play a thought leadership role, helping Smokeball stay ahead of the curve in both AI innovation and legal industry needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive execution of the AI product roadmap, ensuring initiatives are delivered to a high standard and on schedule.
• Collaborate with engineering, design, and legal experts to refine requirements, solve complex problems, and deliver user-focused solutions.
• Push boundaries by identifying new ways AI can solve real legal workflow challenges.
• Act as an internal and external thought leader on AI in legal tech, staying ahead of market trends, regulatory changes, and ethical considerations.
• Partner with go-to-market teams to support positioning, adoption, and customer education.
• Measure product success, gather user feedback, and work iteratively to enhance value.
• Ensure all AI solutions uphold transparency, trust, and compliance with legal ethics.

About You

• 5+ years of product management experience, ideally in SaaS; experience in AI/ML products or legal tech is a major plus.
• Strong understanding of AI technologies, trends, and their practical applications.
• Track record of delivering complex, high-impact product initiatives.
• Able to challenge assumptions, spark new ideas, and inspire innovation.
• Excellent communication skills, with confidence engaging technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Adept at balancing detail-oriented execution with big-picture thinking.
• Strong ability to thrive in a fast-paced co-founder led organisation.
• Bonus points for recognised industry thought leadership, speaking engagements, articles, or active community contributions.
