Product Lead – Dubai (Relocation Required)

Laine is a mission-driven startup tackling the large, underserved market of legal drafting and contracting. We are building the next generation of generative AI tools and network platforms to connect clients and lawyers, ensuring legal documentation is precise, compliant, and efficient. You will work with a high-calibre team (lawyers, AI experts, and engineers) and have a direct impact on the product and business trajectory. Role Purpose As Product Lead, you will lead the product roadmap and execution for Laine’s core drafting platform and associated workflows (client UI, lawyer UI, backend drafting engine). You’ll ensure alignment between engineering, legal innovation, user experience, marketing and business goals, driving stable, meaningful improvement over time. We are looking for a Product Lead to join our team. This is not a supporting role or a "backlog management" position. You will be the architect of our product’s trajectory, bridging the gap between strategy and hands-on execution. Key Responsibilities • Define and Prioritise the Product Roadmap: Own the full lifecycle for drafting workflows, the contract generation engine, the lawyer terminal, and the client terminal. • Execution & Engineering Liaison: Work closely with the CEO/CTO/engineering/marketing to translate the roadmap into epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria; coordinate across the full team. • Innovation & Lawyer Liaison: Gather and synthesise input from lawyers, clients, and internal stakeholders (legal ops, data/privacy) to refine feature requirements and ensure rigorous jurisdictional compliance. • Obsess over UX: Ensure our "Lawyer Terminal" and "Client UI" are world-class. You believe professional legal tools should be as elegant as the best consumer apps. Required Qualifications • Experience: 3–5+ years in product management (SaaS or marketplace preferred). • Startup Mindset: Comfortable with ambiguity, rapid iteration, launching MVPs, measuring, and evolving. • Technical Fluency: Comfortable working with engineering teams. Collaborate with CTO and engineering to turn PRDs into technical solutions • Regulated Environments: Experience working in multi-jurisdiction, regulation-heavy environments (ideally legaltech or fintech). • UX Acumen: Strong UX sense for complex B2B and B2C workflows. • Data Proficiency: Proven ability to define and monitor critical product metrics (adoption, churn, cost per contract, lawyer throughput) and make data-driven decisions. • Stakeholder Management: Excellent communication and relationship skills for managing legal professionals, development teams, and business/marketing. Preferred Qualifications • Previous exposure to generative-AI product flows (prompting, generation logic, review loops). • Experience with marketplaces or network-model platforms (connecting clients and lawyers). • Familiarity with legal contracting workflows or experience launching in multiple geographies/handling localisation. Metrics of Success (First 12 Months) • Launch Success: Launch core drafting product in the initial jurisdiction (e.g., Switzerland) on time. • Expansion: Successfully launch the next jurisdiction(s) roadmap and complete the product localization plan. • Quality & Compliance: Maintain high quality and compliance standards: minimal legal escalations and high user satisfaction scores. • Activation & Retention: Achieve target user activation metrics: e.g., X contracts generated, Y lawyer engagements, Z % retention. • Internal Efficiency: Improve key internal measures: e.g., time per contract reduced by X%, and cost per contract by Y%. Benefits and compensation • One annual economy-class return flight to the employee’s home country • General health insurance coverage in the UAE • Salary range of USD 95,000–120,000, depending on experience, subject to applicable UAE advantages • 25 vacation days per year plus UAE holidays The role may initially be remote, with relocation to our Dubai, United Arab Emirates office required. After two years, the employee may have the opportunity to transfer to our Austin, Texas, United States office. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are an equal-opportunity employer.
