Our people are our strength.

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.
