From day one, we've been clear about what we are-and are not. We are not replacing in-house legal teams. We are building a platform that amplifies them.\nOur platform enables modern legal teams to move at the speed of AI, deliver better outcomes, and create measurable business value. We unify legal data, power end-to-end workflows, and organize business context within the tools teams already use. Sandstone is the home for AI-native legal departments.\nToday, Sandstone is trusted by Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing innovators alike. We ship quickly, iterate relentlessly, and scale with intention.\nWhen you join Sandstone, you become part of a team that believes deeply in the compounding power of collaboration, rigorous problem-solving, and obsessive attention to detail. Our engineering team is elite, our lawyers ship code every day, and we are dedicated to building the most delightful product an in-house lawyer opens in the morning-and closes at the end of the day.\nWe work five days a week out of our offices in the Lower East Side. Dogs welcome; shoes optional; chess encouraged.\nAbout The Role\nWe need a Founding Product Manager to help us realize our vision: a single pane of glass for in-house legal teams for legal work and institutional knowledge. We already have a team of cracked engineers, preeminent lawyers, and world-class designers; now what we need is a disciplined, rigorous product manager who can help bring the pieces together. We pride ourselves on executing strong ideas faster than any organization in the world - this is a role for folks who roll up their sleeves, get dirty, and get shit done.\nAs our team matures and grows, we want to build our capacities for user experience research, cross-functional communication, scoping, and risk mitigation - that’s where you’ll come in. We need your help to remain laser-focused on the actual workflow journeys of our end users and find the chokeholds that endanger our continued user growth. As part of this role, you’ll own a product vertical; you’ll also play an integral role on our product leadership team. In addition, you may lead customer enterprise deployments and/or a set of integrations.\nTo be successful in this role, you will be someone who thrives working in an early-stage, green field environment with a high degree of autonomy. You will collaborate closely with Liam Germain (CTO, Co-founder), Jarryd Strydom (COO, Co-founder), and engineers who care deeply about building a novel user experience. You will also help create and distill Sandstone’s product culture, processes, and systems. “Ship relentlessly” is a core value of our team: we are all builders, and we expect you will be, too.\nWhat You'll Own\nOwn the product roadmap for one of our verticals: decide what to build, prioritize ruthlessly, and ship continuously\n\nSet product feature timelines and team goals aggressively but pragmatically: scope feature sets thoughtfully and mitigate risks where practicable\n\nAs a member of our product leadership team, help decide the future of our product roadmap and how Product works at Sandstone: how we prioritize, how we write things down, how we decide.\n\nMove fast on two-way doors and ship to learn. For irreversible decisions, map the scenarios, pressure-test the paths, and make the tradeoffs explicit before we commit. Both modes, deliberately chosen.\n\nPartner with our AI & ML engineers to define what \"great\" looks like for agentic workflows: accuracy, reliability, latency, and the moments where a lawyer needs to stay in the loop. Help decide what we measure and hold the product to it.\n\nSpend time with General Counsels, legal ops leaders, and the day-to-day users inside their teams. Sit in on sales and post-sales calls. Study how our end users work in real life, and turn that into the next set of priorities\n\nWork closely with Engineering, Design, our Forward-Deployed Engineers, and GTM teams; make sure the right hand knows what the left hand is doing\n\nWhat You'll Bring\n6+ years in product management, ideally including time at an early-stage, high-growth startup-ideally one you helped carry through a step change in size.\n\nA track record of shipping 0-to-1 products and then scaling them, with outcomes you can point to.\n\nThe ability to earn the trust of strong engineers-by being useful, by being right often, and by knowing which projects don't need you.\n\nComfort managing complex systems, mapping genuinely complex workflows and translating them into products that feel simple.\n\nYou have a demonstrated track record of entrepreneurship or of success in an unstructured environment - you’re hungry, low ego, and generative.\n\nYou have the empathy to understand what a customer is feeling and the emotional intelligence to know what would feel natural to them.\n\nBonus\nExperience in legal tech, legal operations, or building products used by in-house legal teams.\n\nTechnical enough to prototype, read a PR, or stress-test an approach with engineering before it becomes a spec.\n\nWorking at Sandstone: Benefits & Perks\nComprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance; HSA available depending on plan selection; 401K\n\n12 weeks paid parental leave\n\nFlexible time off (20+ days PTO)\n\nAnnual learning & development stipend\n\nTechnology stipend, including unlimited spend on AI tooling\n\nDaily lunch for in-office team members\n\nAt Sandstone, we value high ownership, flexibility, and curiosity. You'll have an outsized impact, work closely with ambitious colleagues, and help transform how legal teams work for the modern age.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5775,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Equity","Flexible time off","Parental leave","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Legal AI","Legal Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-15T02:12:59Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":32,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.582,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":31,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":300000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sandstone-founding-product-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sandstone-founding-product-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T02:55:58Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3993,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":243545},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=243545"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsandstone-founding-product-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsandstone-founding-product-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsandstone-founding-product-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/sandstone-founding-product-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsandstone-founding-product-manager"}]}
