We are transforming the legal experience for all by bettering the lives of legal professionals while increasing access to justice.
Summary:
This is a rare opportunity to lead world-class Customer Success across Clio's international markets — one of the fastest-growing legal SaaS platforms in the world. You'll own the end-to-end CS experience across Clio's core practice management platform and Clio Work, our intelligent Legal AI assistant — with a mandate to build a team where every Clion is focused on complex, high-value customer relationships, while AI-powered workflows and scaled motions handle everything else.
You won't just be managing renewals and health scores. You'll be building AI-powered success plays, driving multi-region operations across markets with distinct regulatory and cultural contexts, and scaling your team's ability to identify and convert Customer Success Qualified Leads at every touchpoint — continuing to grow international markets as a core revenue engine for Clio.

AI-First CS Architecture & Outcomes

Build and mature three distinct CS motions: high-touch CSM for key accounts, Scaled CS for SMB, and Digital CS for all segments — leveraging AI (auto-summaries, churn prediction, sentiment signals, AI-assisted QBRs) to power each
Drive PLG-integrated success motions that reduce friction at critical conversion and adoption moments; turn CS signal into roadmap input by building a robust customer feedback loop with Product and Engineering

Strong command of CS operations metrics with a bias toward outcome-driven, AI-augmented efficiency
Experience supporting complex, multi-product SaaS environments with distinct customer personas and technical depth requirements

Experience in legal tech, professional services SaaS, or other high-trust, regulated verticals where content accuracy and compliance carry real stakes
Hands-on experience deploying AI in CS workflows — auto-summaries, churn prediction, AI-assisted QBRs, digital success plays

Experience navigating multi-national operations across varying regulatory, cultural, and market environments
Background in hypergrowth environments where the business doubles while headcount grows far more slowly
Experience with PLG (Product-Led Growth) success models, including in-product nudges, proactive outreach triggers, and self-service optimization
You Are
An operator who thinks in systems — you see the whole board, not just the next move
Energized by ambiguity and building new things, not just optimizing existing ones
Genuinely excited about AI — you actively use enterprise AI tools in daily work and want to be on the frontier
A communicator who can translate complex operational and AI concepts for executive audiences and frontline teams alike
A genuine global collaborator, not a siloed regional operator — you build bridges across geographies and time zones
A culture carrier who creates environments where high performers thrive and everyone has a clear path to growth
