AI Product Manager – Legal Tech Startup £50K–£70K in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
Early-Stage, High-Impact Opportunity: With a team of ~7 people and genuine traction (£40K MRR, £1.5M in negotiated settlements), this is a rare chance to be a foundational PM at a legal AI startup with proven product-market fit — not just a pre-revenue experiment. Your decisions will have direct, visible impact.
Compensation vs. Market: £50,000–£70,000 for an AI PM with 3+ years experience is slightly below London market rates (AI PMs in London typically command £70K–£100K at scale-ups), but the equity upside potential and early-stage ownership may compensate. The role does not mention equity — worth negotiating.
Skills You'll Build:
- LLM prompt engineering and AI workflow design — among the most in-demand skills in 2025
- Legal-tech domain expertise, a niche with very few experienced practitioners globally
- End-to-end product ownership at a consumer-facing AI company
- Cross-functional leadership without formal authority (high signal for future leadership roles)
Green Flags: Flat hierarchy, genuine social mission, strong early metrics, media coverage, and 5-star user reviews all signal a healthy early culture. The "no hierarchy" structure suits self-directed professionals.
Red Flags to Watch: No mention of equity or stock options. At this team size, burnout risk is real — clarify scope boundaries during the interview. Also confirm whether the salary range reflects permanent UK employment or contractor arrangements for remote non-UK applicants.
Hours: Flexible
Pay: £50,000 – £70,000 depending on experience and location
Location: Fully remote, with London office available
Current team: 2 developers, 1 marketing manager, 1 customer success manager, 1 tech support/ops, 1 lawyer.
Join Grapple Law and help change the future of legal AI
We are looking for someone to work at the intersection of law and AI. You will translate real legal workflows and user interactions into structured product requirements, helping shape how legal services are delivered through technology. This is a challenging product role — a hybrid position requiring natural language ability, systems thinking, and comfort working closely with lawyers and developers.
About Grapple Law
Grapple Law is an AI lawyer for the average person getting beaten by the system — never for businesses. Think legal ChatGPT, but it also sends legal headed emails and negotiates for you.
Our traction since launch in September 2025:
- 5,000 new users monthly
- Monthly revenue around £40,000 and rising
- Around £1.5M in successful settlements negotiated for clients
This is a world first: AI has successfully negotiated out-of-court settlements against human lawyers (recent news coverage below), and our 600 Google & Trustpilot reviews are 5-star across the board.
