Clio is the global leader in legal AI technology, empowering legal professionals and law firms of every size to work smarter, faster, and more securely. 

We are transforming the legal experience for all by bettering the lives of legal professionals while increasing access to justice.

Summary:

We are seeking an experienced Senior Director of Engineering to lead the success of Clio's product suite across international markets, with a primary focus on the UKI, APAC, Canada, and an ever-expanding number of countries worldwide. This is a highly visible role that sits at the intersection of global strategy, product execution, and regional partnership.

What You'll Work On:

• Roll up your sleeves and stay close enough to the technology and the code to get things done, and to help your managers and directors better understand what's possible.

• Directly supervise, mentor, and collaborate with the engineering managers and directors who are in the thick of it every day.

• Lead the strategy and execution behind Clio's continued international expansion, building the right foundation — regulatory, business, and cultural — as we grow into new markets.

• Bring a builder's mindset to standing up the strategy, teams, and processes needed to support Clio's international growth, including in markets we haven't yet entered.

• Partner with leadership in Product Management and Product Design to envision, develop, and execute our international expansion roadmap.

• Champion the shift toward an AI-native engineering culture, bringing hands-on experience helping an organization adopt AI tooling and new ways of working.

• Work closely with the Recruiting/People team to actively recruit and hire top talent to support Clio's ambitious international growth plans.

About You:

• Experienced senior engineering leader who's still comfortable rolling up your sleeves and contributing hands-on when necessary, even as you operate primarily at the strategy layer.

• Strong "builder" mindset — you thrive on establishing and developing new teams, processes, and markets, rather than just optimizing ones that already exist.

• Proven international SaaS experience, having navigated differing regulatory systems, business practices, and cultural expectations across markets.

• AI proficient, with definitive examples of shifting an engineering organization's culture toward AI-native ways of working.

• Adept at managing and mentoring high-performing teams, nurturing talent, and guiding individuals toward professional growth and development.

• Experienced in crafting long-term strategies and managing technical roadmaps that pave the way for future growth.

• Successful running agile organizations at scale, with a sense of urgency to deliver quality software to solve customer problems.

• Demonstrated experience in promoting positive culture and diversity throughout a large engineering organization to achieve transformational change.
