*This is an existing vacancyABOUT THE ROLEWe're looking for a Director of Product to own the entire product function at Spellbook. This is a high-leverage, high-ownership role: you'll set the vision for our product portfolio, lead and grow a small team of Product Managers, drive roadmap and execution, and be the connective tissue between engineering, design, GTM, and the customer. You'll report directly to the CEO and operate as a key voice in company strategy.
This is not a comfort-zone role. The right person thrives in ambiguity, has sharp product instincts, and knows how to turn big bets into shipped products.
RESPONSIBILITIES- Product Vision. Define and champion a unified product vision across Spellbook's entire portfolio - from the core Word experience to Associate, playbooks, and beyond.
- Team Leadership. Build, manage, and mentor a small team of PMs, creating the culture, processes, and craft that great product teams are built on.
- Roadmap Ownership. Own the roadmap end-to-end - prioritization, sequencing, trade-offs - balancing near-term customer value against long-term platform bets.
- Execution & Delivery. Partner with engineering and design to drive execution: clear specs, tight feedback loops, unblocked teams, and launches that land.
- Launch Management. Lead go-to-market coordination for product launches, working with marketing, sales, and customer success to ensure every release drives adoption.
- Customer Insight. Be the voice of the customer: synthesize insights from user research, support tickets, sales calls, and data into product decisions.
- Strategic Input. Partner with the CEO and leadership team on product strategy and company direction, contributing to investor narratives and fundraising materials.
- Measurement & Analytics. Establish metrics and feedback loops that measure product health, feature adoption, and user outcomes across the portfolio.
- Support with other responsibilities and projects as required.
QUALIFICATIONS- You've led product at a high-growth B2B SaaS company (Series A-C), ideally in a vertical AI, legaltech, or professional-services context.
- You have experience managing PMs - you know how to hire for craft, give feedback that grows people, and hold a high bar without micromanaging.
- You think in systems: you can hold the big picture (portfolio strategy) and the detail (user flow, edge case) simultaneously and switch fluidly between them.
- You've shipped products that matter - you can point to launches you drove end-to-end and explain what made them succeed or what you'd do differently.
- You're deeply curious about AI and what's possible: you follow model capabilities, you understand what agents can and can't do, and you can separate hype from real leverage.
- You're a strong communicator. You can write a crisp PRD, present a roadmap to the board, and have a hard conversation with an engineer about scope - all in the same day.
- You operate with urgency and calm: you know the difference between a fire that needs putting out and noise that should be ignored.
NICE TO HAVES- Background in or adjacent to law, legal operations, or enterprise compliance workflows.
- Experience building products that live inside third-party surfaces (e.g. Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Salesforce).
- Familiarity with LLM product patterns: prompt design, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, evaluation frameworks.
- Experience at a company that went through a Series B and navigated rapid scaling - or that made strategic acquisitions.
