The Product Manager will act as product owner for the development of TCLP’s climate-aligned legal document creation and benchmarking product, building on our existing knowledge graph infrastructure.
The role will lead the product across its lifecycle, from discovery and definition through development, launch, adoption, measurement and iteration. Working with colleagues across User Research, Legal Engineering, Digital, Partnerships & Business Development and Communications, the Product Manager will bring together user, legal, market and technical insight to ensure we solve the right problems, prioritise effectively and build the right product at the right time.
The Product Manager will lead product definition, specification and prioritisation and establish how product success will be measured. Ownership of software development and technical implementation will sit with the wider Digital team.
Key activities and responsibilities
Responsibilities include:
- Own product discovery, working with the Principal User Researcher, Legal Engineers, Partnerships & Business Development and other colleagues to bring together user, legal, market and technical insight to identify and prioritise the problems the product should solve.
- Lead the definition and specification of the climate-aligned legal document creation and benchmarking product, translating evidence and specialist input into clear product requirements and priorities.
- Own and prioritise the product backlog, working with the Digital team to define and test hypotheses and determine what should be developed and when.
- Work with the Director of Digital, Machine Learning Engineer and wider Digital team to plan sprints, iterations and releases, ensuring product documentation is maintained to a high standard.
- Work across User Research, Legal Engineering, Digital and Partnerships & Business Development throughout the product lifecycle, ensuring relevant expertise and evidence inform product development and iteration.
- Define measures of product success and monitor and evaluate product performance, bringing together user feedback, product data, adoption insight and other evidence to inform future priorities.
- Work with Partnerships & Business Development, Legal Engineers and other colleagues to support product launch and adoption, and use market and usage feedback to inform ongoing development.
- Support the measurement and reporting of product impact and growth, including reporting to funders, and contribute to a Build-Measure-Learn culture of continuous improvement.

The role will contribute to the delivery of:
- A legal document benchmarking methodology and supporting infrastructure that enables users to create and improve climate language in commercial contracts.
- Ongoing product measurement and evaluation tools capable of demonstrating externally validatable improvements in climate language across test documents and novel content, working with User Research where evaluation requires research with users.
- Industry- and organisation-specific platforms built on this infrastructure, launched and demonstrated by Legal Engineers with support from the Product Manager.
This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
