You will work collaboratively with our design and development team, developing critical thinking and product leadership skills in the process. You will become adept at rigorous feature testing to ensure feature quality and generating user-facing documentation to educate our users. Finally, you will fill a supporting role on our largest initiatives on our roadmap and be given opportunities to learn from, collaborate with, and challenge other Product Leads as you work together to bring these big ideas to life. At Everlaw, our mission is to promote justice by illuminating truth. Our company culture is open and democratic and we're committed to the professional growth of our team members, offering an annual learning and development stipend and regular check-ins with managers regarding career goals.
