Axiom, an industry pioneer and leading provider of legal technology and services to Fortune Global 2000 companies, is seeking an experienced Product Manager in New York.
Axiom was founded in 2000 as the first two-sided marketplace for legal talent. Over 18 years, we’ve expanded to a global scale, working out of 17 offices and employing over 2,000 lawyers. We have the expertise, knowledge, and talent to deliver effective solutions to our clients (and we have great relationships with these clients!). But, our reach can extend further. We’ve reached an inflection point in our history, and in order to scale to the next level, we need to continue to delight our clients by empowering a liquid legal talent network of 50,000.
Why We Need You
To continue to scale our company, globally, we need you to solve three problems.
- Grow our supply capabilities. You’re telling us how to build and grow our talent marketplace to 50,000. This is a huge part of our plan for future growth.
- Codify our product. What types of talent can we employ? How do we deliver this talent to our clients? How do we bring this to market in a way that attracts new talent?
- Instill product management best practices. Our Talent Product team is small, and we’ve hired incredibly smart and talented people to build our product strategy. We need someone who will inject prior product knowledge and expertise to help us build world-class products for our users.
How You’ll Do It
- Own and shape the product vision and strategy for our legal talent marketplace, determining how we grow our talent pool by an order of magnitude and diversify into new types of talent.
- Manage the product roadmap for the supplyside of our talent marketplace, defining and prioritizing features based on extensive market and user research.
- Collaborate with our internal teams (marketing, sales, lawyer talent, engineering, etc.) to uncover new opportunities and package solutions to bring to market.
What You’ll Need To Be Effective
- Product Expertise. You have experience owning the product development process, from conception to launch. You have a track record of shipping successful products. Major bonus points if in a B2B or B2C marketplace capacity.
- Customer Obsession. You deeply care about the customer, and want to create products that delight them. You seek to understand the customer experience as a means to developing meaningful products.
- Collaboration. You can communicate with all different types of personalities. You can keep people to a timeline, empower them to make decisions, and build consensus to get the job done.
- Versatility. You’re okay with operating in the gray. You don’t mind constant change; in fact, you’re excited by it.
- Passion. We’re disrupting a $700 billion industry, and your passion for creating great products will get us there.
