Associate Product Lead

Everlaw, Oakland, California

Ediscovery made easy. Intuitive software for document analysis.

As an Associate Product Lead, you will have a direct impact on the product by owning features from the beginning to the end of their lifecycle. In this entry level position, you will become an expert on our product, define problems, and propose solutions that meet our users’ core needs. You will work collaboratively with our design and development team, developing critical thinking and product leadership skills in the process. You will become adept at rigorous feature testing to ensure feature quality and generating user-facing documentation to educate our users. Finally, you will fill a supporting role on our largest initiatives on our roadmap and be given opportunities to learn from, collaborate with, and challenge other Product Leads as you work together to bring these big ideas to life.

At Everlaw, our mission is to promote justice by illuminating truth. Our company culture is open and democratic and we’re committed to the professional growth of our team members, offering an annual learning and development stipend and regular check-ins with managers regarding career goals. If you’re looking for a place that values passion, integrity, thinking big, and a desire to learn, we’d love to hear from you! Think you’re missing some of the skills and are hesitant to apply? We do not believe in the ‘perfect’ candidate and encourage you to apply if you feel you can bring value to our team.

Associate Product Leads will report to the Product Lead Manager and will receive consistent support and mentorship from an assigned product reviewer on most features.

This is a full-time, exempt position located onsite in Oakland, California.

In the first few months, you will:

Become an expert on our product and learn about our user’s workflows.
Complete the six-week onboarding process, getting to know the team along the way.
Lead a small feature from start to finish, with support and mentorship from your manager and a product reviewer.
Test features in the development pipelineand publish user-facing documentation (support articles and videos) to develop competencies in critical product lead skills.
Immediately become a participant in design discussions and larger team meetings (and voicing your opinion on improving our processes, product, and beyond!).
Feel like part of the team! Our onboarding process will integrate you into the company with informative sessions on our policies, processes, and team structure and goals.
Learn, grow, and contribute right away. We trust that you will bring experience and knowledge that will uplift the team, but we don’t expect you to know everything on Day 1. You will have time to develop your product knowledge and get up to speed on all aspects.

In your first year, you will:

Release multiple features that you own from start to finish.
Test features and publish support documentation for monthly releases.
Lead small prioritized features with limited direction, assess core user needs, propose solutions, critically analyze tradeoffs in order to make reasonable product decisions, and solicit feedback effectively from key stakeholders.
