ABOUT PATLYTICS Patlytics is the fastest-growing AI-native patent intelligence platform, transforming how IP is protected and monetized at scale. Our advanced LLMs and generative AI engine, custom-built for intellectual property, power every phase of the patent workflow from invention disclosure to patent prosecution through litigation, delivering citation-backed insights with unprecedented accuracy and speed. Backed by $65 million in total funding from investors including SignalFire, Google's Gradient fund, 8VC, N47, Myriad Venture Partners, Relativity, Alumni Ventures, Antiportfolio Ventures, and BAM Corner Point, Patlytics is trusted by 40% of the AmLaw 100, including Quinn Emanuel, Latham & Watkins, Foley & Lardner, and Susman Godfrey, as well as leading corporate IP teams at Rivian, Google, Panasonic, Sanofi, and Canon. Customers are seeing up to 90% reduction in project time, with claim charts that used to cost $30K+ in attorney time now completed at a fraction of that cost. With teams across the globe we're building a global company fueled by exceptional talent and bold ideas. Our rapid expansion is driven by people who bring entrepreneurial energy, intellectual curiosity, and a shared commitment to setting the global standard for AI-powered IP intelligence. We're creating a culture where diverse perspectives shape breakthrough innovation and every voice contributes to transforming how the world protects ideas. THE ROLE We’re hiring a Product Manager to own a core surface of the Patlytics platform end-to-end — from strategy through shipped, adopted workflows. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering, design, GTM, and our in-house patent attorneys to build features that our customers rely on for high-stakes work: patent portfolio management, active litigation, prosecution, and licensing negotiations where being wrong isn’t an option. This is a builder role. You’ll set the vision, write crisp one pagers, and stay close to the product to feel every rough edge yourself. You’ll also stay close to customers, hopping on calls with patent attorneys at AmLaw 100 firms and Fortune 500 IP teams to understand their workflows, iterate on what you’re building, and personally drive adoption. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Own a core product area: set the strategy, prioritize ruthlessly, and ship outcomes (not output) across modules like drafting, infringement analysis, invalidity research, or portfolio management. - Live with customers: spend real time with patent attorneys and in-house IP counsel through discovery calls, design partnerships, and on-sites. Translate what you hear into product. - Bridge law and AI: translate nuanced patent workflows (Office Action responses, claim charting, SEP analysis, invalidity contentions) into elegant, scalable software. - Prompt Engineering: Design, test, and iterate on complex LLM prompts and AI agents to ensure our models output highly accurate, citation-backed, and legally sound results. - Define and move the metrics: instrument what matters, then drive measurable impact on activation, adoption, retention, and customer outcomes. - Drive product velocity: maintain a rapid shipping cadence without sacrificing the enterprise-grade accuracy, auditability, and security our customers demand. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR REQUIRED - 7+ years of product management experience with a clear track record of driving impact — you can point to specific outcomes (adoption, revenue, retention, efficiency) that your work moved. - Products you’ve shipped that you’re proud of, and the receipts to prove they drove real customer and business outcomes. - Customer-centric builder at heart. You’re not afraid to hop on calls with customers to dig into pain points, iterate alongside them, and personally drive adoption — not delegate it. - Experience building B2B workflow software where users live in the product every day and small frictions compound into big problems. - Extreme ownership, strong judgment under ambiguity, and a bia
