As the VP, People Business Partners & Talent Development, your role is to ensure our human and high-performing culture is embedded in everything we do, throughout the duration of the end-to-end employee experience. In this role, you’ll oversee two critical functions: the People Business Partner (PBP) team and the Learning & Development (L&D;) team. You will report directly to the Chief People Officer and serve as a key advisor to our executive leadership team.

You think in terms of organizational design and long-term talent health. A High-Stakes Coach: You are comfortable sitting across from C-suite executives, communicating with "radical candor" with deep empathy, and helping them navigate complex organizational shifts. You understand that L&D; is our competitive advantage that must be woven into the fabric of the daily workflow.

Data-Informed, Human-First: You use people analytics to find the "why" behind retention and performance trends, but you never lose sight of the individual human experience.

The PBP Team: Acts as the strategic engine for our business units. They partner with leaders on workforce planning, org design, and high-level talent strategy to ensure our teams are optimized for growth.

The L&D; Team: Designs and delivers the Clio learning experience. They own everything from world-class onboarding and leadership development to technical upskilling, ensuring that "growing at Clio" is a tangible reality for every employee.

Integrating Talent & Growth: You will unify the PBP and L&D; functions so that performance gaps identified by PBPs are solved by targeted, agile learning interventions from the L&D; team.

Executive Succession & Org Design: You’ll lead the strategy for how we identify, develop, and transition our top leadership talent to meet the needs of a multi-product, global SaaS company.

The Future of Learning & Talent Development: You will oversee the transition to an AI-augmented learning workplace, personalizing growth paths for Clions at scale. High-Performance:



You’ll refine our performance management philosophy, moving us toward a model of continuous feedback and transparent career mobility. As we expand, you will ensure our people strategy remains cohesive across different time zones, cultures, and legal jurisdictions. 10+ years of People Leadership: Significant experience leading high-growth People teams, with a deep background in both the Business Partner and Learning/Talent Development worlds.

SaaS Savvy: You understand the metrics of a successful software business (ARR, Churn, LTV) and how talent strategy directly impacts those levers.

Change Management Mastery: A proven track record of guiding large-scale organizational shifts, including M&A; integrations or major department re-orgs.

Experience building internal people programs with the same rigor and iteration as a customer-facing software product. The expected salary range for this role is $209,400 to $299,200 to $389,000 CAD. There are separate salary bands for other regions based on local currency.

In addition, this role is eligible for variable pay that is based on company performance, with actual payout amounts calculated and paid on a quarterly basis. The top portion of the salary band is reserved for employees who demonstrate sustained high performance and impact at Clio. Competitive, equitable salary with top-tier health benefits, dental, and vision insurance.

Hybrid work environment, with an expectation for local Clions (Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Dublin, and Sydney) to be in the office minimum twice per week. $Diversity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Equity (DIBE) & Accessibility
