About the Role
Ontra is seeking a Senior Product Manager reporting to our Group Product Manager.
To foster team connection and collaboration, this role requires being present in either our Santa Barbara or San Francisco office up to once per quarter for team meetings and off-sites. As such, we are only considering candidates who are currently based in California.
We’re looking for someone excited to lead one of our R&D teams as we build the future of our flagship Contract Automation product, with a particular focus on transforming the experience for our sell-side users and sell-side legal network. We’re looking for a leader who is thrilled by this challenge—someone who can build a strong, empowered team through change, develop cutting-edge AI and automation solutions, and drive a product strategy that creates indispensable value for our users.
If you are a creative and strategic thinker who can connect product initiatives to clear business outcomes and inspire a team to build the future of legal tech, we’d love to get to know you!

- Lead an Empowered Team: Build and lead a resilient, cross-functional product team of engineering, UX, QE, and data professionals alongside your product trio partners (Eng Manager and UX).

- Collaborate to Win: Work closely with Go-To-Market (Sales, Marketing, CS) and Platform teams to ensure seamless product launches, drive adoption, and equip our internal teams with the knowledge they need to succeed.
What You’ll Bring
- Experience: 5+ years in Product Management, leading cross-functional teams in high-growth B2B SaaS environments. Background in legal tech, contract lifecycle management (CLM), or private markets is a strong plus.
