Director, Product - Legal Data Intelligence

Join Goodwin’s Global Operations Team, and make a real impact on a global scale. At Goodwin, we work with some of the world’s most successful and innovative investors, entrepreneurs and disruptors in the life sciences, private equity, real estate, technology and financial industries, and where they converge. As part of the Global Operations Team – all business professionals at the firm – you’ll collaborate with colleagues from varied backgrounds and experiences, fostering an environment where cross-functional learning, networking, and collaboration are at the core of what we do.

Here, we’re not just supporting a law firm; we’re partnering with attorneys and clients to deliver cutting-edge solutions in high-stakes litigation and dispute resolution, world-class regulatory compliance and advisory services, and complex transactions. Our commitment to integrity, ingenuity, agility, and ambition drives us, and we’re proud to have been recognised as the “Best Business Team” by The American Lawyer.

This is your opportunity to grow professionally in a dynamic, global environment, surrounded by forward-thinking peers.

A central factor to Goodwin’s strategic plan to be an elite, industry-built law firm that seamlessly fuses legal excellence with strategic and business advisory is the firm’s proprietary transactional terms and case data: the deal points, precedent terms, litigation outcomes, and matter experience captured across decades of representing market-leading clients. The Director, Product - Legal Data Intelligence leads the firm’s efforts to transform this proprietary experience data into actionable intelligence — embedding it into attorney workflows, internal tools, and client-facing services and products, and expanding the scope and scale of data captured across the firm’s practices. This is a builder role: the Director will stand up a new product function from the ground up, hire and lead a team, and partner closely across Knowledge & Innovation, Digital & Technology, and Data Analytics — including the Director of AI Product & Platform, Managing Director of Data Analytics, and Director of Engineering — to deliver a firmwide data intelligence roadmap.

What You Will Do:

• Own the end-to-end product strategy and roadmap for the firm’s proprietary transactional terms (deal points) and case/litigation data programs — from data capture and taxonomy design through deployment in tools, workflows, and products.

• Build, hire, and lead a dedicated Legal Data Intelligence product team as the function scales.

• Partner with the Director of AI Product & Platform, Managing Director of Data Analytics, and Director of Engineering to align the data intelligence roadmap with the firm’s broader AI, data, and technology platform architecture.

• Expand the scope and scale of data captured across transactional and litigation practices — working with K&I Lawyers, practice group leaders, and attorneys to identify new data sets, close capture gaps, and evolve taxonomies and data standards.

• Translate raw deal term and case data into actionable intelligence: benchmarking tools, dashboards, market/trend analyses, and decision-support products for attorneys, clients, and firm leadership.

• Embed data intelligence into attorney workflows and existing firm systems (e.g., experience/expertise management platforms, document automation, drafting tools, client-facing applications) to drive habitual adoption.

• Identify and develop new client-facing product and service opportunities that showcase or monetize the firm’s proprietary data assets, in direct support of the firm’s strategic and business advisory ambitions.

• Define product success metrics and establish structured feedback loops with attorneys, practice groups, and clients to inform roadmap prioritization.

• Lead budget, resourcing, and build-vs-buy/vendor decisions for the legal data intelligence program.

• Present roadmap, progress, and business cases to leadership.

• Align with IT, Security, and firm risk functions to ensure data governance, data quality, and responsible AI standards are embedded across the program.

• Monitor legal data, AI, and legal technology market trends; benchmark against peer firms and legal data/intelligence providers to keep the firm’s data offering differentiated.

• Perform additional duties as required based on business needs, including support for data governance reviews, cross-functional program updates, and urgent implementation matters.

Who You Are:

• Bachelor’s degree required; JD, MBA, or other advanced degree a plus.

• Minimum of eight (8) years of progressive product management experience, including leadership levels of data, analytics, or enterprise capabilities at scale.

• Prior experience in a law firm, legal technology, or another professional services/regulated data environment strongly preferred; experience partnering with engineering, AI/data science, and UX functions to deliver enterprise-grade products.

• Understanding of legal industry data strongly preferred, including deal terms/deal points, litigation analytics, precedent and experience management systems.

• Deep experience with data discovery, search, content enrichment, and data visualization products, ideally within legal, financial, or another data-intensive professional services industry.

• Strong cross-functional stakeholder management across legal, engineering, data science, UX, and business functions; demonstrated ability to present to senior leadership and C-level/partner stakeholders.

• Experience translating complex structured and unstructured information into commercial or operational value, including go-to-market and product marketing experience.

• Fluency with agile product development practices, OKRs, and product-led growth methodologies.

• Budget and resource planning experience, including evaluation of strategic partnerships, vendors, and potential acquisitions.

• Excellent communication and change-management skills, with the ability to drive adoption of new tools and workflows among attorneys and practice groups.
