Juro has big ambitions: de-throne MS Word to become the default way to agree terms globally. That means rebuilding contracts from the ground-up around a browser-native experience. And we'll need a lot of help doing it.
Legal tech on the rise: companies in this space already attracted more than $1 billion in funding this year as the slow-moving industry digitises. We're in a great position to lead the charge.
The challenge:We have 6 cross-functional product teams today (which you might know as pods, tribes, etc.). Each team is comprised of engineers, engineering team leads and product designers. Our 3 Product Managers provide support to all of them.

THIS MIGHT BE FOR YOU IF...
🌈 Research shows that while men apply to jobs if they meet ~60% of criteria, women and those in traditionally underrepresented groups tend to apply only if they check all boxes. So if you think you have what it takes but don't meet every single point above, please still get in touch. We'd love to have a chat and see if you could be a great fit.
We look for people whose approach to work aligns with our values & behaviours. For this role especially, we value:- A strong sense of ownership and accountability, and a results mindset (Strive To Deliver)- Excellent verbal and written communication skills (Keep It Simple)
On top of that:- You have 6+ years* of experience in SaaS of Product Management working in the data science/analytics problem space (exposure to search, indexing and/or machine learning preferred)- You navigated periods of fast growth and supported scaling teams in a fast-paced setting.- You have a keen intuition for product and UX, and can apply data and systems thinking to solve complex problems.- You have a customer-centric mindset, and are adept at striking a balance between customer feedback, business viability, and technical feasibility to drive optimal results.- You worked with cross-functional teams in an agile setting (preferably Scrum or TPS/Kanban).- You have mentored new and early-stage Product Managers.
Bonus if:- You have a background in computer science or another relevant technical field.
* What you did is more important than how long you did it. While this range is an orientation for you to understand what the IC4 level means to us, we still want to hear from you if you think you have what it takes but don't quite meet this number (e.g. 4+ years is more akin to IC3 for us).


WHY JOIN US?
If you’re someone who wants to work for a vibrant, successful tech company but worry that most companies with “unicorn” ambitions are…- chaotic (= immature operation and prone to over-hiring)- fragile (= high cash burn and no profitability)- volatile (= vulnerable to market swings and layoffs)…and therefore often not conducive to building a sustainable career foundation, you should consider Juro. Here’s why.
With us, you’ll have the opportunity to work directly under + learn from an accomplished Product leader on a product that is disrupting the world of contracts — away from static, Word-based files and toward a browser-native platform that is built for 21st century contract management.
We’re a company in its growth phase that sits in the sweetspot between:- Early stage start-ups: We’re far enough along that it isn’t just chaos.- Large, multi-national software behemoths: We offer more autonomy, less red tape, more impact and faster growth for high performers in a compressed timespan.- Other UK/EU scale-ups: Our operation is more mature than our stage and we offer a balance between fast but responsible, sustainable growth.
