We building drafting technology that’s transforming the way the world contracts - our platform helps legal teams move faster through contracts using automation and AI, without taking judgement away from the lawyers in control. We believe technology should amplify expertise, not replace it.
Avvoka is trusted by over 20% of the AmLaw 100 law firms, global banks and enterprises, and we’ve grown largely through product strength. With headcount and revenue contuining to scale rapidly year on year, we’re now moving from a product-led path into a globally recognised legal-tech brand.
We’re at an inflection point: evolving how the world’s most sophisticated legal teams work — and building a company where thoughtful people can do the best work of their careers.
TThis is a rare opportunity to own and scale the product function at a critical stage of growth.
Avvoka already has strong product-market fit, a complex enterprise customer base, and a growing product team. This role exists to add senior product leadership — setting vision, raising craft standards, and building the operating model needed to scale from a high-performing product team into a world-class product organisation.
You’ll balance strategy and execution, working closely with founders, engineering, design, sales, and marketing to ensure Avvoka’s product continues to lead the market as we scale globally and deepen our use of AI.
If you enjoy building teams, shaping product vision in complex domains, and working hands-on with LLMs, this role offers exceptional scope and impact.
We’re hiring a Head of Product to lead Avvoka’s product strategy, delivery, and team development.
You’ll own the end-to-end product function — from ideation and roadmap through to execution, customer outcomes, and team growth - while remaining close to users, technology, and the realities of enterprise legal workflows.
This is both a strategic and operational role: setting direction at company level while ensuring high-quality product discovery, delivery, and go-to-market alignment.
