Full Job Description
We are seeking a Senior Principal Product Manager to lead high-impact, cross-functional initiatives across our Work-to-Cash (W2C) portfolio.

This is an individual contributor role operating at the Director level, responsible for driving strategy and execution across complex, business-critical domains spanning matter pricing and budgeting, time capture, billing, e-billing, payments, and related platform capabilities, including data, integrations, and AI-enabled services.

In this role, you will operate at the intersection of strategy, execution, and influence-defining product direction, aligning cross-functional teams, and delivering measurable business outcomes without direct organizational authority. As a key contributor within the Product Leadership team, you will help shape portfolio strategy, operating priorities, and cross-functional alignment across the broader product organization.

This role is ideal for a product leader who thrives in ambiguity, understands complex enterprise workflows, and can connect platform investments to customer and business value.

What You'll Do
  • Drive execution of product strategy across critical Work-to-Cash capabilities and related platform services
  • Lead large-scale, cross-functional initiatives spanning multiple product lines and teams
  • Partner closely with Product Management, Engineering, Design, Data, GTM, and Customer Success teams to align priorities and deliver strategic outcomes
  • Identify opportunities to improve workflow efficiency, automation, analytics, and customer experience across the W2C lifecycle
  • Influence roadmap direction across platform and application teams to ensure scalable, cohesive solutions
  • Translate customer, market, and operational insights into actionable product strategies and execution plans
  • Drive alignment and decision-making among senior stakeholders in highly matrixed environments
  • Elevate product management practices through mentorship, thought leadership, and operational rigor
  • Contribute to Product Leadership discussions related to portfolio strategy, investment priorities, and organizational alignment
  • Communicate product vision, strategy, and roadmap direction effectively to executive stakeholders, customers, partners, and internal teams


Experience
  • 10+ years of product management experience, including significant experience in enterprise SaaS environments
  • Proven track record of owning large, ambiguous product domains or leading complex cross-functional initiatives
  • Experience working across platforms, data systems, APIs, integrations, or workflow-heavy enterprise applications
  • Demonstrated success influencing senior stakeholders and aligning multiple teams without direct authority
  • Strong execution experience delivering strategic initiatives at scale


Domain Expertise (Strongly Preferred)
  • Experience with Work-to-Cash, billing, payments, financial systems, or legal financial workflows
  • Familiarity with legal tech and e-billing ecosystems is highly desirable
  • Experience with platform product management, including shared services, data platforms, AI/ML capabilities, or integration frameworks


Skills & Capabilities
  • Strategic thinker with the ability to translate vision into execution
  • Strong business and product judgment, particularly in complex enterprise environments
  • Exceptional communication, stakeholder management, and organizational influence skills
  • Ability to connect technical platform capabilities to customer and business outcomes
  • Data-driven mindset with comfort navigating complexity, trade-offs, and ambiguity
  • High ownership, resilience, and bias toward action
  • Executive-level communication and presentation skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders, customers, and cross-functional stakeholders
  • Strong organizational leadership and collaboration skills within highly matrixed environments


This role will play a key part in executing our Work-to-Cash strategy, helping modernize complex enterprise workflows through platform capabilities, data, automation, and AI-driven experiences.

The ideal candidate combines strategic product thinking with strong executive communication skills and is equally comfortable engaging with internal leadership teams, customers, and external stakeholders.
